Suggs and Hart the two guys I wanted Brad to go after in the past. It's like having another Derrick White. Or a not-so-poor-man's version of White.

They just don’t have the firepower to hang. Hell, Tristan Thompson is playing meaningful minutes for the Cavs in 2024.

I've been waffling back and forth but at this point I'm rooting for the cavs to end it tonight and come to Boston on sunday

Well, I think both teams have enough size to give us some trouble inside, but since we have a lot of good scorers from mid and 3pt range, we can capitalize on that much more. I think that the Cavs is a much slower group and their backcourt is way too small. Orlando, on the other hand, gave us a lot of trouble during the regular season, but this is grown men talk now and they're a bunch of kids.

You guys want a Game 7 for these two teams?

He'll get the same rest if he's not playing 2nd round - games 3 & 4 are same dates regardless of when series starts

I’d rather have the break between games 2 and 3, for Al’s sake. So definitely rooting for the Cavs.

You guys are underestimating the Cavs. They will challenge the C’s

Hell no lol. Small guards, bad wings, and Mobley isn’t nearly enough of a threat offensively.
Only reason Celtics may not sweep is there will probably be a game where Mitchell and Garland hit all their pull-up threes, but we have White and Holiday to throw at them.
Celtics will demolish them.

This Cavaliers/Magic Game is going down to the wire.

Anyone else finding the “Frank gay service” ad in the background of every Magic free throw distracting? Lol

Mitchell will go off for sure for a game or 2. The cavs are tougher if allen plays. We should beat them in 5, but we do tend to **** up a game, so 6.

Real chance Cavs choke in game 7, team is ripe for implosion.

I want this series going 7 games. Not just the rest, but they get extra banged up. Mitchell already have nagging minor injury despite beasting.
