Great win tonight, going home clearly helped. Now only if the Lightning decided to show up for game 3 as well. Oh well.

The score bruh

Ah yeah, we would've won by 40 if Merrill didn't hit that three on the last possession

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

So happy his season wasn't ended from that injury. Can't imagine how this game goes without his energy.

So… I wasn’t watching the game with an analytic eye… did Suggs guard Mitchell for most of the game like I think he did? I know his primary assignment was Garland the first 2 games.

Damm we gave Cleveland their worst playoff loss in their franchise history

Yeah he was switched to him for most of this game compared to Garland the first two. The result was 1-6 from 3 and 6-16

I don't care what Suggs ends up being, but dude needs to retire a Magic.

Yeah, I thought so. Not sure why Mosley didn’t put the league’s best guard defender on Mitchell from the start of the series but I like the adjustment.

I was envisioning 20-27 point magic win tonight. Not this amazingness!

Really???….

Of course. I believe in this team.... especially against the cavs. Playing at home and after two very disappointing games..... I felt like they weren't gonna roll over. Get the playoff jitters out.... and move forward!

But this was a whole new level of a bounce back. Loved it!

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

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.

Yup... i mean we all have different work and sleep schedules. Not to mention time differences lol.

Pepe does post usually after the game

Either for your celebration or watching us get truckked.

A bottle of wine and a magic win later. Yahoo....

I wont be able to post for the next few days and might not catch Saturdays game. But this was nice. Please Orlando win another one for my birthday (April 26th) I got a sad story's in reserve in case they need motivation for the gipper.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, and that includes you ORL.

My lord what an answer tonight. I'll be watching this tonight when I get home. Very impressive win, biggest blow out so far in the playoffs. I still believe if we hit open shoots in the 2 games in Cleveland we would be up 3-0 in this series.

The Real test now comes in game 4. Do we get a game similar like this( maybe not a blow out but flow of the game) or do we get something like games 1&2.

But this is awesome to see, go magic.

Tonight he matched his peak cockiness/showmanship to his game…and it was one hell of a beautiful alignment.
