I was pulling for Orlando for precisely the main reason that the Cavs turned an 18pt deficit into second half domination—my fear of Donovan Mitchell. Obviously we have the stronger team, even without KP, but that man can ball.

It's truly a gift from the scheduling gods that we get alternating days of B's/C's through Monday of next week at least. Let's make quick work of the Calfs so we can check in on our families for a little bit before the next round.

Mitchell is great, but so ball dominant. If he's off at all, the Cavs are legit terrible (ie., games 3 and 4). When he's hot, they still only score 105 points or so. I just don't see how they keep up. Mobley and Allen (if he plays) are not scary as defenders, though I'd rather have KP playing to draw them out of the paint.

I think the Cs jump them early tonight. I'll be nervous about comebacks, because the Cleveland game still haunts me, but I watched a lot of that Magic series and the whole offense was just Mitchell being one of the top two or three finishers at the rim in the league. That's not going to win a game where the Cs shoot 35-40 threes and make a third of them.

I have a command performance engagement tonight and am debating between DVR viewing later tonight (way later) and watching as I can. I think I’m going to opt for the latter. Because I just can’t to see the Cs pummel these pretenders!

Win!!

No Mariah in the RnR HOF is a good reason to boo the Cavs, right? How the heck did Cleveland win that anyway?

Cadaver the Cavs.

I'm getting no announcers, just arena sound via the tnt feed online. This is great!

Who are the announcers?
