Game 7 prediction’s, who’s stepping up? 

Post#1 » by three3d » Sat May 4, 2024 4:38 pm

I’ll start it out and predict game 7 is going to be a big game for Franz. If (when) we win it it’s going to be because he’s that dude and has that dawg in him! He’s built for this moment and he’s going to show everyone Orlando DOES have two stars.

I’m also going to predict a Goga Bitadze sighting after game 6. Maybe they use him to come in just to protect the paint and use up some fouls. Let’s send them a message NOTHING is left in the bag in a game 7

And Mo, I’m predicted Mo Wagner is the ultimate villain this game and comes in rocking a pair of Air Jordan’s in the Michigan colors. So fitting, so PERFECT if you can recall how many times Michael Jordan torched Cleveland and especially Craig Ehlo & the fact Ohio hates Michigan if he doesn’t do this I’ll be disappointed.

Listening to some podcasts today and most want the Magic to win because they they think the Magic vs. Celtics will be more exciting.

I’d say in all but the first two games we’ve been the better team, just nowhere near consistent enough. In each of the three games in Cleveland so far we’ve done better than the game prior so this has to be the game we get it done. The Cleveland PA announcer during the last game there said “In Cleveland we don’t believe in MAGIC!” well after game 7 tomorrow they will all have been WITNESS !

Man I wish someone could design a shirt for tomorrow’s game that included a play on the LeBron James line of WITNESS and include the Magic logo and colors. WITNESS MAGIC stabbing them with a LeBron reference and a play of what that PA announce serve said about them not believing in magic.

The Cavs controlled game 5 for the most part, though the 4th was lead change after lead change. Mobley and Strus really stepped up big and the backcourt led their offense. Our offense was led by Paolo, with Franz and WCJ stepping up.

In games 1 and 2 the Cavs were in control throughout. They had a much more balanced attack with monster games from Allen.

I think they are banged up and vulnerable. We can definitely limit them offensively. The x-factor for us is JI, can we deploy him effectively and can he rack up blocks, steals, and rebounds?

Anyone tech savvy enough to photoshop the old Nike LeBron James WITNESS campaign photo into a WITNESS Magic photo/image? I found it on google but don’t know how to attach the image in a post. It’s a black and white photo of LeBron doing the MJ powder toss and above him it says “WE ARE ALL WITNESS” . Cleveland boldly announced they don’t believe in Magic during game 5, they are about to WITNESS it.

I've always believed that stars step up on the road and role players struggle. Suggs probably is who he is, at least this season, but I'd like to see Franz bring it for at least one game in Cleveland.

If I were a stereotypical RealGM poster I'd say that Franz has one more game to prove it or I'm going to give up on him. :lol: Either way it's fine because I think his road to stardom is a bit slower and more linear than most stars. But it should would be nice to see in game 7.

Who knows, maybe Suggs will bring it too. He's a high confidence guy. Let's see if he starts out strong.

Suggs just has to hit his shots. This will be key

I hope Im wrong but this Game 7 to me is where CLE veteran PO experience shines through our youth and enthusiasm.

I’m thinking JI is the X Factor…even if doesn’t score a point. Triple Double - Rebs, Blocks, Steals

Final 108-87

They just talked about this in TNT postgame. Mobley or Garland? Wagner bros or Suggs?

I think we might see JI or Cole light it up again.

Game 7 is usually won when a role players suddenly explodes to have a big scoring night, aside from the usual suspects.

I’m expecting Suggs to play really well in Cleveland, guy loves the bright lights and is clutch.

We could use Harris in the starting lineup so Isaac can move to the bench where he's more effective.

Yeah, Suggs needs to have a big game. If he is hitting the magic are winning.

M-Wagner and Isaac combine for 30 would be my "step-up" prediction.

A huge Moe $Wagner game to shut that arena up would be hilarious.

Realistically idk, most of our role players have been bad (offensively) in Clevaland so far. Hoping for a change but I don't necessarily expect it.
