Magic starting to separate themselves.
Let's see if Cavs have a good run in them.

Might be hard to win when you're shooting 23% from the field and 0% from 3.

You kiddinh?! it’s literally one game man. This group overreacts a bit. Denver went from this well oiled undefeated juggernaut to possibly being eliminated after game 2 lol

Yeah. Let's see how it plays out.
Celtics also lost one at Home. Yet, we prevailed in the Series.

I think Killah called this one, meltdown for Cleveland starting to happen. It's early though, plenty of time to get back in it.

“The lights are too bright” Cavs are gonna dip out in round 1 again. They should keep Mobley and blow the rest of it up

When everyone on earth knows a player is leaving, it always ends with a game like this.

Cavs could make it a game, but I doubt it lol.

The Magic are shooting great from 3 but they are WIDE open. Cleveland really kind of **** the bed.

Cavs performance thus far is why I'd rather face them...

And why we likely won't

Couple that with Mitchell not showing up today (and Allen injured)...

Mitchell isn't exactly a career winner in the playoffs in a pretty large sample size as well, he's a great volume scorer but I don't think he is much of a leader.

They're both going 10-Deep. What gives?
Is this the New Game-7 Strategy?

If I were the Cavs, I wouldn't even keep Mobley. Just trade him to Brad Stevens as a reclamation project.
