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


That’s very possible. I would prefer the magic of course.

Mitchell is going off tonight and they’re still fighting for the life against Orlando. 5 games max.

I don’t think people realize the gap between the Celtics/Wolves/Nuggets, and everyone else.

Cavs and Magic are the two worst teams left in the playoffs.

If the Cavs win game 7 they'll have to put Mitchell on a mobility scooter. I don't know how he's scoring the way he is moving that poorly.

I’d rather play the Cavs for whatever reason the Magic give us a ton of problems.

So it goes to a Game 7.
Looks like we're playing on Tuesday.

Don't really wanna deal with Mitchell's BS. Our guards do worse against shifty, smaller guards. And we tend to use drop against them. These guys could go off.

On the other hand, Magic length is more annoying to score on.

Not really.

KP is out until the east finals.

The semis will still end on May 19.

So no extra days really.

They gave us some problems in that tournament and last year. But didn’t we smoke them out the last two games in Boston? One of them we started Lamar Stevens at C and wiped the floor with them lol

Magic is too tall for my taste, and KP is out. I’ll be rooting for the Cavs in game 7. Cavs are a slow, soft team. We can sweep them.

Celtics are not going to have any issues with the Cavs or the Magic. Celtics in 5.

I’ve been thinking we’d sweep Orlando, and beat Cleveland in 5. But the 4 games against Orlando would probably be more physical than 5 against the Cavs. I think we’d be able to score fine on them though, I don’t think they’re ready to be defending Tatum and company in the playoffs lol.

Cavs would probably have Mook Morris on Tatum. Talk about unfair :lol:

It feels like the Clippers are letting Russell Westbrook play in their face. I like Russell off the court but he is killing them. I haven't watched every bit of all the games but my God anytime I see him it's terrible.

Magic, on the other hand, will give that task to Jonathan Isaac. I don’t think JT will like it. Let’s go Cavs!
