No one has any patience for these young guys anymore (not saying you). Dude is still only 22 years old. Dude's actually a combo guard you would want.

Isaac with a dagger. Damn.

Cavs trying to take back the lead with one shot, but they didn't build their first half lead on hero shots. Magic are cooking.

that's not how it works


I’m stunned that wasn’t reversed. You guy lunged to get partially in front of Mitchell and didn’t have any position

Magic not wilting under the pressure is impressive. Young, first time teams don't do well with adversity.

Two teams that can't win on the road.

Imagine you are Mitchell.

Suggs is defending you and the Isaac switches onto you. :lol:

The Cavs are standing around and letting everything happen and panicking and the coach refuses to call a timeout. JB Bickerstaff is an abomination

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I have come to the conclusion that Darius Garland needs to get in the weight room after two years of seeing him in the playoffs. He's too small otherwise. I'm not saying he needs to get as strong as Lowry or VanVleet, but he might have to if you try to rely on him come playoff time.

Cavs can't win if Michell isn't on the court. That's a problem when you have Mobley and Garland.

Right? If they lose this series, that’s far worse than losing to the Knicks last year and it’s not close.
