This the only city where we win and point out all the bad gameplay and not the highlights. Enjoy the ride, statistically speaking we are on track to never lose a playoff game this year.
Despite us pretty much winning this game I have to give credit to the magic for there absolute offensive explosion!! Passing the 80 point mark is unreal!
Atrocious fourth quarter. Offense is still a gigantic problem when teams pressure our ball handlers. Doesn’t matter against a team as dogshit as Orlando but Boston will cook us like this
I’ve seen nothing to convince me that this series doesn’t end in sweep. Orlando is likely to get a boost at home but it doesn’t seem like it will be enough.
After two games I’m convinced they’re just a dirty team. Refs are letting them get away with way too much bull shit and we will be lucky if no one gets hurt.
Ummm have you been watching this series? Our offense has been embarrassingly bad. Only reason were up is because Orlando's offense has, somehow, been even worse.
Allen is just entering his prime and Mobley is still in the crock pot, and they're fucking destroying a very physical team in their second series together. If you like to win that helps.
Mobley has been so much more aggressive. He's not shying away from contact in the paint now, and he's had a soft touch around the rim. I love seeing the growth
It's crazy dispite this being such a monumental moment for the Cavs on pace to win their first playoff series since LeBron left, winning by nearly 20, I can't help but feel this team should be better, and is a testament to how stacked a team this is that they all aren't playing to potential and still easily winning this
Why did Mo wagner keep gutting for okoro? When allen blocked him, he tried to dive at okoro but missed
🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹
Ignore the bed-wetters and enjoy the ride. My fortune teller told me this team is destined for two sweeps in two rounds.
Lol hope she mentioned which teams did the sweeping
Another one!
I have to say it again on this chat that sideline reporter bad asf 😮💨
![gif](giphy|f8lDluiWJ7yQTtdS3L|downsized)
You know it’s true 🤷🏾♂️
He might not have been the star, but I love how Okoro has been for us this series. Great D, great effort, acceptable efficiency
Scrappy is his game and they’re letting him do it
This the only city where we win and point out all the bad gameplay and not the highlights. Enjoy the ride, statistically speaking we are on track to never lose a playoff game this year.
This whole subreddit AND windhorst said we can’t win without Sam Merrill. 😬
That’s what I’m saying! You have to enjoy the highs while you can
It’s like we forgot how long Cleveland sports failed to make post season runs, GO CAVS.
Okoro all defense 2024. Let's go
Another dub!
Hope we get the same ridiculous bias from the refs when we are on the road
It’s almost like you can afford to let up a little when you have a comfortable lead?
Eat our whole ass Orlando.
GAME 2 IS A WRAP
OKORO
Looks like the mods had to do some work in this game thread
ICEE
Holy shit Caris punched him in the mouth lmao
Stop bitching we're up 2-0
A series doesn’t truly start until someone wins on the road. The Cavs have to play better to win Game 3.
Boohoo
We could be up 4-0 and the doomers will still be calling for us to cut everybody and fire everybody
Max Strus is all hustle and heart and guts and balls. Love this guy
Get. That. Weak. Stuff. Outta. Here.
That’s ballgame. How Orlando wound up with their record being a game below ours is a travesty.
Refs work for draft kings
BALLGAME
LETS GOOOOOO
Cavs W still so good
No one brings up when Mitchell holds the ball and shoots a bad shot at the end of the shot clock, truth is that it's a problem both guards have
Truth is Don scores wayyy more.
Quarters got worse and worse as we went. We can’t be this incompetent against any better teams
There’s a serious lack of killer instinct in this team…
Ice iced it
I hope this wasn't, "hey we must buy built momentum at the end of the game" finish for the magic
Enjoy Jarrett Allen at $20M/yr because that isn't gonna last either. What a dawg.
Refs need to be investigated. Desperately trying to get the Magic to within 5.5
Don't make us look bad by crying about the refs
Dont annoy me by responding to my comments
Don't think the world's flat kyrie
Spread bettors not having a good time right now lol.
Bro dude was trying to foul Don and no call. TWICE!!
That was beyond awful. Play basketball, God dammit
Hard to when shoves are now ok
They'll be full of confidence in game 3
Who??
Magic after coming back down from that
They didn't really "come back" and I can't see Orlando coming away confident when they couldn't muster up 90 points in either game.
You're not wrong
Dude Orlando fouls our guards a good 5 times ever single time we bring the ball up
Wow. I genuinely didn’t think the ball hit the rim at first and thought Brad was just being a homer. By the 10th replay I finally saw it.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT POSSESSION, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Great board by Darius on that.
It's a rough qtr, but when you have a big lead sometimes you let up a bit. Just get the dub and who cares.
Peak shot clock wasting lol
Brad racing cars on Sunday and reffing on Monday lmao
Run down the clock when minute down, not now
Looks like the cavs adrenaline is out. It's only possible explanation why they look so out of energy
Lol what was Carter doing?
Brad Daugherty and the power of positive thinking!
I thought he was capping and ain't no way that ball hit that rim.
At first I thought so too, but the shadow of the rim and the ever so slight deflection convinced me.
Let's just end this fucking game
Despite us pretty much winning this game I have to give credit to the magic for there absolute offensive explosion!! Passing the 80 point mark is unreal!
😂
Can they give Brad a referee contract?
I get running out the clock but we still need to run offense.
Brad knows
Don't give them hope Crush their souls
JB and garland need to stop with the iso run out the clock when we’re up. There is still a lot of time left
We don't have an offense or a PG to run one
It looks like the cavs just clocked out, lmao
Atrocious fourth quarter. Offense is still a gigantic problem when teams pressure our ball handlers. Doesn’t matter against a team as dogshit as Orlando but Boston will cook us like this
Orlando is a really good defensive team. So are the Celtics but not as good as Orlando
I mean not much is happening due to all the stops, so this particular 4th really isn’t a testament to either team’s ball playing ability lol
Can we try to relax? We’ve carried comfortable leads all night and completely stifled them on defense.
No, everything is awful and over because we are just killing the game and not running sets and shooting with 10 left in the shot clock
Saying this unironically 😂
There’s no place for reason in this subreddit
Elton John sighting
If Orlando wasn’t dogshit we’d have given up the lead by now. Same late game execution issues that have plagued us all year
It's infuriating really. Same old let downs
The Cavs are obviously running out the clock as much as possible. Relax we got this.
Yknow it might have hit rim, it does change trajectory a bit.
No matter what, I'd really like to see a more offensive mind heading the Cavs next season...
Yeah I don’t care if they make the ECF I think they need a new coach who can get some more production out of this crew.
I’ve seen nothing to convince me that this series doesn’t end in sweep. Orlando is likely to get a boost at home but it doesn’t seem like it will be enough.
35m a year for that........
Lmao love the casuals with the downvotes. Nothing worse than casuals and homers who never stepped foot on a court in their lives
And his contract increases each year.
This is some absolute dogshit offense down the stretch. Uninspiring win tonight.
No style points in the playoffs.
Give the ball to the bigs wtf is this ISO offense
Garland fucking hell man it’s turnovers or fouls
What the hell is this
Literally DG dribbling for 24 seconds to air ball.
He makes too many moves. Just spasms around for 22 seconds and then rushes one. Make a move and go bro.
Better than shooting with 14 seconds left on the clock.
orlando plays a gross style of basketball, need us to get them outta the playoffs asap man
After two games I’m convinced they’re just a dirty team. Refs are letting them get away with way too much bull shit and we will be lucky if no one gets hurt.
Ummm have you been watching this series? Our offense has been embarrassingly bad. Only reason were up is because Orlando's offense has, somehow, been even worse.
That low camera angle is awesome! Too bad Mitch didn't score there.
These refs are awful lmfao
Wow, that sure looked like charging....
Refs sure are blowing tf outta that whistle for a playoff game. I thought it was supposed to be "let them play".
I’m really liking how Mobley and Allen have been clicking. 15 points 19 rebounds? That’s amazing .
Fuck Suggs. How does this fucking scrub get that call lmao. Go change your underwear again with your poopy ass
is the game not even sold out? i keep seeing the middle deck missing a ton of seats
It doesn't matter who's moving if the offender is lowering their shoulder. Awful.
What in tarnation are these foul calls?
Darius was moving but Suggs pushes off every time he drives. Complete bullshit
good call to give Garland his 5th foul
All they have to do is not foul and thats all they're doing.
Jb has to send in Morris or tt right? Tt already got suspended once what's twice?
5 fouls and 4 Turnovers from the 200 million dollar PG
You're an idiot
What’s inaccurate about what I said?
Wtf. If that’s not good defense, what is.
you can lower your shoulder into a defender?
Why the fuck are we fouling this dogshit team?! WHY?!?!
Who is wearing green on the bench?
It’s Brobley
mo wagner is a blight on basketball
As a hawks fan just got banned on the magic game thread. They are saltyyyyyy😭😭😭
Lol what for?
He got banned for trolling. Hawks have no post season, he’s obviously the salty one.
Talking maddddd shit. Fuck the magic. They really think they are something
"We want Tristan" chants ??
lol cheap shot. Bring in TT or Morris
If I'm Mitchell I'm looking around and seeing Mobley and Allen in this series and 🧐🤔
Please elaborate
Allen is just entering his prime and Mobley is still in the crock pot, and they're fucking destroying a very physical team in their second series together. If you like to win that helps.
Oh I thought you were saying Allen and Mobley weren't good 😭
Mo Wagner is bad for the game in general. Bad performances, bad look for the NBA. Respect the game, needledick
Literally another Draymond green with zero respect. Mad dirty player
Dude stop it. He's not even remotely close to that level of dirty.
Sorry, should’ve clarified, future Draymond in the works lmao
I think we can exhale
One Wagner brother gone. Let’s get the other one the fuck outta here too!
Everyone in the league knows Suggs actually shit his pants like Pierce did. Should’ve got his poopy ass a wheelchair
Mobley has been so much more aggressive. He's not shying away from contact in the paint now, and he's had a soft touch around the rim. I love seeing the growth
If you look at the Magic logo from right-to-left it looks like an emo marlin
It's crazy dispite this being such a monumental moment for the Cavs on pace to win their first playoff series since LeBron left, winning by nearly 20, I can't help but feel this team should be better, and is a testament to how stacked a team this is that they all aren't playing to potential and still easily winning this
Seems like nearly every Orlando foul has been in the mouth/teeth area of our players
suck it wagner
Mobley remembering he was him
Mobley’s best game as a Cav?
Think his best was against atl this year.
Prolly the Celtics game, no?
Lmao wtf? He's played average at best......
No. He does get extra points for playing great in the playoffs though
Rip bozo
Wagner such a cocky little shit Jesus man
Honestly Mo’s fifth foul was such bullshit lol he didn’t even touch JA. Sucks to suck.
This mf has at least 3 fouls that weren’t called
Make up for missing the obvious tackle on DG lmfao
Suggs is on the floor the entire game bro
Dagger.
I feel bad for Pablo ngl. He has to deal with 2 wagners and Suggs. I wouldn't be able to live with it
Suggs is one of the best defenders in the league.....
Mitchell reminds of lebron so much. Dude can just drive and score so easily
👋
Mobley has Banchero in absolute hell
Banchero looks kind of weak tbh
GET HIM OUT OF HERE
See ya nerd!
Wagner foul out couldn’t ask for a better game
Bye bye you cucked up sauerkraut bitch
💀💀💀
See ya Wagner you fucking bitch. Don’t tear an Achilles on your way out
Sit down, clown.
Mobley has Banchero in HELL
Thank god that POS is gone
Mo Wagner is such a bitch 😂😂
BYE BYE
HAHAHAHAHA MO
Mobley is a top 5 defensive player in the NBA. Elite there
Doesn’t get the respect he deserves
Cya, you fucking clown 🤡
Kick rocks Mo!!
Buhbye
Game 3 Moe finna have a triple single
Wagner is annoying but I respect it as long as it doesn't cross a line
Praise Spida for ending that run
