I was just about to say that he looks slower than I'm used to seeing him. Still has great balance, but his quickness is down a notch.
2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando Magic
- Thread starter InstaFace
- Start date
Between Strus, Ingles, Wagner, and Bang Bang Niang this is a real battle of the gym rats. Lunch pail guys. First guys in, last guys to leave.
Love the offensive foul call on the Orlando 3 point shooter. He threw his leg out there in a very unnatural motion.
Honestly.... I want CLE to win just so there is no chance I need to see a minimum of 4 games of this ORL team against BOS... they're just a horrendous watch even when you have no rooting interest.
6 is actually better for the Celtics rest days, and I think that is more important than any extra miles on a team the Celtics have more talent than.
I understand the whole travel-tired-Game 1 thing, but I want Orlando to win. I want no part of Mitchell. At the very least, grind him down another game.
I’m the other way and want no part of Orlando. Lots of long guys who can get into Tatum and force the other players to win matchups while Tatum tries and fails to get going off the dribble
Celtics would sweep the Magic, Tatum can get to the rim against any of them guys. Magic may be really big, but even tonight, the Cavs are destroying them in the paint.
Orlando would struggle to score 100 in any game of the series.
Totally understand that. Watching the Orlando offense, though, and I don’t see them breaking 100 against us. Their best players are still very very raw.
Neither of these teams can shoot it to hang with the Cs. Spida layups and Banchero mid-rangers are Bam turnarounds.
Mitchell has 50 and they can’t crack 100.
Mitchell has 50 and they can’t crack 100.
"Imagine the Heat without Jimmy, but also literally no one can shoot from outside"
Last Cavs points by anyone but Spida was a dunk by Tristan Thompson ... with 2:37 left in the 3rd. Woof!
I like Orlando, are a talented and hard playing team. But they aren’t ready to be defending Tatum and company in the playoffs lol. Isaac will be unplayable on the other end, and they’d foul him out anyways.
I had preferred the Cavs, but the Magic’s lack of shooting would be a nightmare against the Celtics.
Richard Jefferson, right? Stated with confidence that Suggs, Wagner, and Banchero were on "the same trajectory" as Westbrook, Harden, and KD.
I’m selfishly hoping ORL wins Sunday so I can get tickets to game 3 or 4. I’ve attended exactly one playoff game in my life: game 3 in ATL in ‘08. So it’s only logical that if I attend a game this year, BOS will win another championship.
I had the same thought so I researched it...

Very very true. G2 is going to be the grind game regardless but we could/should sweep either team and their painful to watch offenses.thanks for the heads up, but then we have to prepare for a G2 letdown
He has made such a leap this year now that he’s healthy. Kid is going to be a really really good 2-way player.
Paolo is also going to enter the chat for the best young players in the NBA. We are just waking up to him too...
