yeah our crowd was weaker than Game 3 & 4 also

It was a nervous crowd except 4th quarter

I definitely could feel the nervousness in the air

Ironically I think that nervousness hurt the team

Paolo, with 7 points in the last 4 or 5 minutes, was huge

Even though we didnt score on the next possession, that 8 second call was huge

Wow!
Did not think we would pull it out - excellent win!
If we had just one additional scorer close to Mitchell or Garland we would be almost unstoppable!

The stress! So proud. No matter what happens on Sunday I will try not to get down on the team. Win or lose, I'll accept it and know that this was a great season. The best since 2010.

man i am sooo proud of this team.

anyway time to eat my crow. ive hated on fultz all season. in the playoffs he has been a positive contributor. still want AB to take his minutes tho.

lastly, my opinion that some people may not want to hear. paolo has impressed me considering its his 1st playoffs, but the offense feels so much better with franz as the initiator. more decisive, gets into actions quicker, doesnt let the defense settle in

When Donovan missed those two free throws it was extremely loud. I was in a different section and might have been around louder people. The building was nearly silent when the Cavs built the lead in the 3rd.

I don’t know if I saw correctly but Mitchell scored all of Cleveland's 4th quarter points? Surely that had to be our game plan?? Mosley did switch Suggs onto Donovan in the 3rd I think and despite him still scoring I think it cut off the passes to the role players that were killing us before that, solid coaching move.

Yes, Mitchell scored all of the Cavs points in the 4th.

Gutsy performance and I’m giving props to Cole and Fultz. Cole and coach spent a lot of time talking when he left him in late in the game and Cole did what he needed to do.

Really? Crowd noise seemed a bit low in the broadcast to me, but it could just be how they tuned the mics.

It’s the mics they use

Yes.

And this is for me why the Cavs lost. Mitchell effectively took the ball out of Garland's hands. Coupled to Mobley clear limitations, the Cavs had poor execution late because of Heroball. I'm good with that!

(( that long-three by Mitchell with Isaac in his face was tough; how'd does one make that shot ??? ))

Can someone explain why Isaac doesn't scale?

Box score thoughts.

Orlando lost the FG% differential battle (and eFG%) yet won the game. How?

1) Free throws. The made-FT difference in this game was plus-17. Oof.

2) Threeball defense was also critical. Defending to 7-28 (25%) was outstanding.

3) Rebounding differential. It was plus-10, with a plus-8 on the offensive glass.

What is almost comedic is that in the pre-game shoot-around presser, Coach Mosley highlighted these three areas as the key to the win. Well: he';s pretty smart!
