I agree 110%, JJZFL. I have posted the same assessment of AB as a starting point guard from day 1 last season. I just don't see what some of our posters/fans see in AB. It's his passing the ball to Paolo and then running to the corner that has been my issue with him. Yes, he is not bad defensively. He is allegedly 6'7", one inch shorter than Magic Johnson. AB will never develop the same IQ and basketball ability like Magic Johnson and some of the point guards playing in the league today. Some of you brought up some stats from last season claiming AB shot lights out. Well, I either missed or fell asleep during those games. Someone posted a clip highlighting and claiming what a great basketball player AB was in college. I know these were highlights, but all I saw was AB dishing/passing the ball. I kept watching for him to shoot the ball. Not once did he do that. It was all passes.

Mitchell is trying to pull off an Isaiah Thomas (former Piston) where Zeke played through a playoffs badly limping. But Mitchell's training staff might inject him with something that will have him flying like superman in game 7.

We are already on the map. Talking heads are talking about the Magic. I suppose this team can be called the cinderfella team of the nba. Get it? (Cinderfella instead of Cinderella)

My Theme Song for the Magic “LET’S GIVE ‘EM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT!” Song by: Darius Rucker - Country Western Singer I can’t get that song out of my head since the Magic made the playoffs.

Yeah. The Cavs were probably letting Mobley rest so as to play others on their roster to see who can step up if needed in Round 2. /Wink, Wink. ;)

I sho did, T2GS, in case anyone else scrolled past my post and didn’t read it. ;)

I know Mobley is hurt. Is Mitchell hurt too?

And please keep Cole on the bench.

Mitchell is too quick for JI to be guarding him.

CrazyHorse, you and fanfor2long are so funny! You 2 keep me laughing. :D

The Magic stopped running the way they did at the start of the first quarter. The Magic had the Cavs on their heals.

That’s okay. Let Mitchell get his 40 pts. Stop the other Cavs from scoring.

Haha! I’m using a tablet to watch the game. I kept tapping the screen because I had not seen any posts/reactions in a while. :D

What happened to Cole’s shot?

RUN, Magic, RUN!!!

Dennis Scott has drained the most career threes for the Magic, with 981 three-pointers. NAME 3PM GP Dennis Scott 981 446 Nick Anderson 900 692 Evan Fournier 895 435 Jameer Nelson 874 651

And have Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson suit up. The Magic's best 3 pt. Shooters of all time.

Nice post, Time2GetSerious. Very good points. I would have given you the 'heart' vote symbol (for love your post), but my tablet won't allow me to insert it.

No matter what the situation is or reason to have JI guard mitchell or Garland, its's too risky. Luke_FfS just now mentioned the risk, and I alluded to it in a previous series. Mitchell and Garland are just too quick. JI could injure his knee due to their ability to quickly change direction at the drop of a dime. Also, l still don't understand why coach won't give Goga significant minutes at the center position for rim protection and muscle. Let him use his minutes to bang whatever center the Cavs use. Even if Goga fouls out. :D

Thanks for sharing, MagicMan.

Thanks, Jamesdin. So the shot I tried to describe that is attempted by Paolo, you mentioned that it is called the "fade away". Awesome! I was hoping someone else had noticed that failed shot by Paolo that needs to be fixed. I'm giving you a plus (+). I wanted to give you an up vote but my cell phone want let me post it. You are a perfect example, Jamesdin, that if you are knowledgeable or aware of something a fellow Magic fan is trying to describe, say something. :D

Hello, my fellow Magic fans. This evening I arrived at my vacation home in Maryland. I watched the game back in Florida Tues. Night. So, while everyone else is piling up on Paolo, I thought I would post my observations (2 cents) as well. :D As most have pointed out, his stats show that Paolo accomplished a lot for only his second year in the nba. But one of the shots he attempts that's not successful is when he pulls up, does a one-leg jump shot while falling backwards . (He jumps on one leg, falling backwards while shooting the ball.) Didn't Aaron Gordon use to do that? It took me all night to type this on my cell phone. I boxed my 12-inch tablet and my portable hand-held mobile hotspot device and had them shipped to me here in Maryland to watch the games. Verizon charges too much to use the Internet for the one month I'm here. So, I'm what you would call a ''real fan'. Right, Jay? :D Another observation is when Paolo gets sloppy with his dribbling. Sometimes he extends his arm out--while dribbling-- just enough for the ball to get stripped out of his hand. In the sport of football, it's like when a running back holds the football like a loaf of bread and the football gets stripped. GO MAGIC!!!

The look on Donovan's face was priceless after experiencing the Magic's smothering defense in the 3rd quarter through the end of the 4th. The look on his face was like:

If the Cavs wanted the Magic in the 1st Round of the playoffs, they obviously didn't get the memo:

Specifically, the Kelle naysayers!!!!
