A little befuddled as to why Isaac didn't get the start.

Minutes restrictions again? Injury? Magic/Cavs series has been put in bad time slots, with this being their first prime slot, so I'm not up to speed here.

WCJ just matches up better with Allen. JI also played effectively with the bench group all year so Mosley just went back to that.

We were much better with Wendell starting in our last game, Isaac wasn't great at center. He makes the bench a lot better

George Niang make a shot from literally anywhere on the court challenge.

Magic have a serious case of young team jitters for sure.

Slow it down, run your sets.

Refs being confusing again this game. First they were letting them play then they started calling ticky tac fouls. Pick one...

How's Mobley been doing? I kept hearing he was the second coming.

Alright George you're now 2-the entire series. Let's see if we can make it 3.

If Mobley had Wagner intensity he'd be a hell of a player.
