Playoff Live Thread (Game 2): Cavs vs Magic 2024-04-22 Off By Nate Smith In the words of Arch, LFG! Playoff Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic Playoff Live Thread (Game 3): Cavs at Magic
Garland is dead tired wtf JB
It’s maddening how long he leaves guys in.
JFC stop playing like idiots.
WTF are they doing?
Caris please
Not great Bob.
Mo Wagner is a cartoon villain.
Who I’d love on my team.
We get so sloppy its crazy
Garland has got to challenge the shot there with Strus getting screened.
Oof.
It’s been awhile since we’ve scored.
Mitchell gotta stop deferring.
What a pass Allen! Okoro gets a foul!
7 and a half clock minutes of DM on bench and 16 pt lead extends to 18. Winning
I didn’t get a good look. It’s a foul on Strus but we are challenging. Did Franz flop?
No foul but magic had possession
Cavs are cold again
Time to get Mitchell out there to steady the ship
Niang the only player in the Cavs rotation with 0 points…
And only +2
He’s got to start squaring his shoulders before he shoots.
DG!!! Where is the apology form? Sign me up
This is the DG we’ve been waiting for.
Hanz and Franz and Mo Larry and Curly – the Magic starting 5
Darius wearing em like a cape!
Big bucket! Love dg looking for his shot!
Yes Garland!!!!
I like the physicality by Garland on that foul.
Strus shoulda got an and1
MO Wagner is a goon
A goony goon
Yes
Merrill gets one shot (which he doesn’t make because he is fouled) and never sees the floor again. Niang can shoot forever without making and stay on the floor
Curious about a minute for Morris.
This orlando team is so bad when the game slows down. We are winning on pace basically. Shades of Mike Brown teams.
Anyone know anything about Dean Wade’s injury or return timeline?
🤷♂️
Niang. Jfc. Get him out
Georges Niang is like tits on a tomcat this game: useless.
If he isn’t hitting shots he is completely worthless. And he isn’t hitting open shots
Why is Niang playing?
Woof
That d.
Darius. OK.
Yes Garland!
There you go, Darius.
There we go DG!
This is a death line up. Just death. JB is a complete moron
Classic no offense no defense lineup
How is Suggs able to just jump on top of dudes?
He’s hardnosed. Gritty. Tough as nails. Blue collar.
Niang is worthless. Put in Merrill.
Niang is hapless against banchero
Let’s go DG. Finish the game with more points than turnovers!
Garland bailed out on that call
At least Garland flopped to get to the line.
And he can’t even make a FT
Can the survive the no Allen no Mitchell minutes.
I’m not sure about this lineup.
F these refs!
Bad call. Flop on Suggs.
Not enough to challenge though
Allen my. MVP so far
I’ve got him behind Mitchell but I agree
Why morris doesn’t play is beyond me
JB’s discussion about “adjustments” at the beginning of the game was telling. He basically said it’s a buzzword and players just need to play better 😂
Garland just stinks
Get Garland out of there!
Garland.
Garland dribbling away the shot clock on three straight possessions. Good to.
Put Sam in JB, you bum!
Ugh Garland
and almost turned it over on the prior possession before JA got it.
Nice start to the 3rd.
Nice pass DG
Appreciate the paint toughness of JA and EM
Didn’t expect to see Suggs back.
Pls pls a bit of Sam + DM to see what happens. I want to get Sam cooking we’re gonna need some offensive firepower and gravity
I just get a better feeling when it’s a lineup without Garland out there. More size, better rebounding and defense. If two of Okoro/Strus/Lavert are hitting their shots, we’re just a better team with Garland on the bench.
Does Sam get a minute next to DM in second half? (…On the court)
Sam didn’t perform during the huge sample size of 4 mins in the last game, so…….(smh)
😂😂😂
Still generated some good shots with his gravity.
How did this orlando team get the 5 seed?
Solid half, keep it up. And keep Garland on the bench.
Mitchell got that point on an idiotic goal tend by Jonathan Isaac!
Totally idiotic.
I didn’t see that goaltending. But I’ll take it.
Sloppy
Watching LeBron rebound was beautiful, but I am really loving watching Strus rebound too (not quite as athletically powerful, but from a guard he rebounds strong)
Heh. Mitchell got away with a travel there.
Yeah a normal NBA stutter step sideways travel, they always let that go
Garland has sat for 9 minutes. Hopefully he gets the message
Foul trouble but agreed. He stinks rn
