2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 3: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers at (5) Orlando Magic - Cavs up 2-0

[JF5]

Our rotations on defense were on point tonight. We made their 3pt looks difficult and rushed. And we rebounded. That was the key.

WCJ was HUGE tonight

He was able to battle in the paint and play with a lot of force. Really needed to set the tone and he did.

Suggs had a sneaky good statline: 24 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block. God damn.

And on only 11 shots!

We need one of those milk cartons with the missing person on the side with Pepe's face!

missed this one, but good to see WCJ able to start. I said after game 1, WCJ did not look healthy.

[BlueBalls]

Still buzzing from that game. Should be worth 2 wins.

Future MVP 21 year old Paolo gonna bring us a damned chip people

Come on out!

Who wants to tell us tonight how limited Suggs is and how much we need an upgrade?

Anyone? We know you're out there.

He needs to do this consistently. That's ALWAYS been his issue. He has yet to achieve consistency. Let's be real here. His first 2 games were utter trash.

Outside of Paolo and Franz, who was good (no one was great) on the road those first two games?

We are a very young team which unsurprisingly plays far better at home than on the road. With more experience and maturity, these kids will successfully take their talents on the road more and more often. That is a regular pattern in the growth process of most players / teams.

As for Suggs specifically, his improvement as a shooter this season is remarkable. Yes, we need more consistency in games. Well, where we do have consistency is in the improvements across across long stretches. The kid is an absolutely workhorse.

Anyone willing to jump off the train at this stage is going to regret it. Mark that down.

He needed to improve because he had the worst 2 seasons of any Magic lottery pick not counting Fran Vazquez.

It's awesome that he had the year he had. We wouldn't be here without his improvement. His defense is amazing. We need the offense to be more consistent. I'll change my mind when he gets there.

Our point differential is positive now in the series, it might as well be!!

to pepe's credit, he's been very realistic and optimistic (at least for pepe standard) for most of this season

[RichCollab]

Let’s run it back next year!!!! Yes!!!!

Well, maybe not.

I mean pepe almost always watches the game on playback in the (early) morning in Europe and then posts his observations, from what I can tell.

Yeah he was awesome. Good to see he's a quick healer.

Couldn’t have been better. Locked up Mitchell. Hit threes. Made plays on and off ball on defense. Made a statement along with Paolo.
