Get Ingles out the game. He can't guard nobody.

A wrap? irs 1 game...

Go support another team

Yes it’s a wrap. You’ve been delusional for years thinking the Magic are better than they really are. Until we get better guard play you can expect the same results every time. Also don’t be a condescending p r i c k and tell me who I need to cheer for.

What a crap call there on Ingles.

The only downside to this very poor offensive showing is that should it continue, and we go on to get swept or lose in five then that won't be much of a selling point to future free agents. As it is now most of them would rather join a team with playoff experience and established high tier players. That may lead us to have to go to the bottom of the barrel unfortunately. What would really be disheartening is if we bring in more players with length for defensive purposes who can't shoot. It's true that a defensive mind set is nice. But eventually you have to be able to put the ball in the basket.

Any time the Magic make a bit of a run and get the game close, the Cavs just answer right back and push it back to double digits.

A lot to overcome in this one, but there’s some good stuff to build on too. Best of 7 not best of 1. Get the jitters out and keep playing hard

Feels like Cleveland has gotten every bounce and every 50/50 ball tonight. That’s not gonna happen all series 

[All Eyes On Me 1,212]

Gotta love when the refs change how they’re calling the game in the 4th quarter. Cavs have gotten some soft whistles all of a sudden..

[All Eyes On Me 1,212]

The guards have killed us tonight. Combined 3-29. Harris, Fultz, Cole combined 0-16. We can’t win like that.

Only 11 turnovers, Paolo has freakin 8 of em lol

Hence the need for a solid point guard for next season. And some knock down shooters.

We can at least take solace in the fact that the crappy Cavs are gonna get swept by Boston in the next round if they get there.

Let's finish strong here and if nothing else build some momentum leading into game 2. The defense is fine. Just have to knock some shots!
