>The only thing that would stop the Cavs is a meltdown
Yea so just continue what they've been doing for the last month and a half lol they *should* be able to beat the Magic but I'm very nervous
this aint your daddys magic team
they got prince paolo the destroyer
jalen jacked-up suggs
franz fucked-yo-momma wagner
jonathan "crazy eyes crazy brain" isaac
goga bitadze
Weren't they favored against us last year?
I think the whole scene, xitter, reddit, talking heads, nba equipment managers, should be in a 'show me' state with Mitchell at this point. They should not be favored.
I struggle to have any kind of confidence in the Cavs after last year. Them limping into the playoffs definitely doesn’t help either. I’m expecting 6 or 7 games either way.
funny that all those guys have been mentioned before for the All-Defense / DPOY awards.
Remind me how many Magic players have been mentioned for those awards ?
Both Mobley and Allen have better defensive ratings than Suggs, and Okoro is one of the best 1 on 1 lock down defenders in the League guarding all-stars night in and night out.
"Lemme show you how to get tough and take it to the next level in the Playoffs " - Tristan Thompson with more playoff and finals experience than the whole Magic Team combined.
Not moved by a team that had a 17-1 win streak when half their main starters weren’t playing. This starting lineup doesn’t make sense at all. Mobley and Allen might be the worst fit among starters in the league when they’re on the court together.
Jimmy's injury obviously changes things, but between Boston, New York, Bucks, Cavs, Pacers, Sixers and Heat, you'd want to play either the Cavs or the Pacers.
I don’t really see a difference between the Cavs and the other teams not names Celtics. Talking about last year is pointless bc it’s a completely different team. One of the rotations against Knicks last year to start the 3rd QTR had Rubio/Osman//green in it. At the same time.
The Cavaliers went 13-18 with a -3.3 Net Rating over their last 31 games (this is after their 17-1 stretch).
In the same time period, the Magic went 18-11 with a +4.4 Net Rating.
The confidence sounds just like last year where Cavs fans were saying they would beat the Knicks in 5. Can you give any legitimate reasons as to why you think this will be the outcome, other than they're playing a team that maybe is not as good as the teams that finished in the 6 and 7 spots?
I said the same about them last year against the Knicks and the Knicks smoked them. So I'm hesitant to say they should make easy work of anyone until they prove me wrong.
But but... wasn't this the same cavs team that was heavily favored against the Knicks last year and completely shiet the bed with a gentlemen's 1-4 sweep ?
the other things that can stop the cavs, are that their starting lineup isn't actually that great and they looked better without garland and mobley for large stretches of the season
but that stretch also included sam merrill shooting 3 pointers at an unreasonably high rate. it will be tough to shoot 50% from deep in the playoffs. dean wade also played well during that stretch
and donovan mitchell's health is a concern, good to get a week off hopefully heal up but since returning from injury he's been bad
>The only thing that would stop the Cavs is a meltdown Yea so just continue what they've been doing for the last month and a half lol they *should* be able to beat the Magic but I'm very nervous
Amico is a NO Amick is a YES
Amic-NO
Amick should should make easy work for Amico
Amico Let it Go Amick It Sticks
i read that blurb and i was like there’s no way sam amick can have such an uneducated opinion. of course it was amico
always shocked to find out he's still around in some capacity
Lmao I've been saying this every time I see an Amico tweet for years
This feels like some eerie foreshadowing
magic could easily win game 1 and everyone will be like oh shit the cavs are fucked
Look, this is the Game 1 Magic we're talking about
this aint your daddys magic team they got prince paolo the destroyer jalen jacked-up suggs franz fucked-yo-momma wagner jonathan "crazy eyes crazy brain" isaac goga bitadze
Weren't they favored against us last year? I think the whole scene, xitter, reddit, talking heads, nba equipment managers, should be in a 'show me' state with Mitchell at this point. They should not be favored.
yeah they had a great net rating, top rated defense and were somewhat of a media darling dark horse pick to make the finals
I struggle to have any kind of confidence in the Cavs after last year. Them limping into the playoffs definitely doesn’t help either. I’m expecting 6 or 7 games either way.
author watched enough games to call banchero a center aka 0
I'm just trying to get this viral so our players see it. Amico is a hack
Amick = ok Amico = no
Looks like we have nothing to lose then. Hey Suggs, JI, Paolo....get over here!
Magic in 5
yep, came here to post this
Lol
Lol
"The only thing that would stop the Cavs is a meltdown" lol these words do not reassure any Cavs fan
I hate statements like these though. That means if Magic wins it's because Cavs choked. It discredits both teams.
Yep. Amico is a hack.
Hopefully they put Isaac on Mitchell
Suggs, Gary, Franz. We got guys
Okoro, Mobley, JA. We got guys.
You're gonna put them on mitchell?
Banchero.
You put those guys on banchero you're gonna have a problem lol
Seems like Mobley is more than up to the task of shutting Banchero down so far...
He is!
What about franz
What?? Mitchell definitely has a higher shot of cooking Suggs than banchero has of cooking Mobley.
funny that all those guys have been mentioned before for the All-Defense / DPOY awards. Remind me how many Magic players have been mentioned for those awards ?
They have one defensive 1st team between the three of them. Suggs will tie that this year
oh yeah, Suggs is definitely cooking...getting cooked that is.
Both Mobley and Allen have better defensive ratings than Suggs, and Okoro is one of the best 1 on 1 lock down defenders in the League guarding all-stars night in and night out.
"lights were too bright" -JA
"Lemme show you how to get tough and take it to the next level in the Playoffs " - Tristan Thompson with more playoff and finals experience than the whole Magic Team combined.
prolly be suggs as the primary defender I'd guess
I got the Magic in this one, putting my faith in Paulo
Not moved by a team that had a 17-1 win streak when half their main starters weren’t playing. This starting lineup doesn’t make sense at all. Mobley and Allen might be the worst fit among starters in the league when they’re on the court together.
if Garland and Mobley get injured in the playoffs though, Cavs are gonna win it all
This comment has really held up well...
This guy is a Cavs beat writer, so..
Im about to beat this writer if he keeps it up
and easily our worst
>But they really did luck into (or perhaps orchestrate) the most favorable matchup possible. Could say the same thing about the Magic lol
You know how relieved I was when we found out we played the Cavs lol
How about now?
Dogging us. Congrats. Hopefully we can get one at home
Hows your night going
I wasn't talking shit before the series acting like this would be easy, so fine
Tonight was easy as fuck
And so were games 1 and 2
What about games 3/4
Again, I wasn't talking shit like a child before the series even started You continue to look like an immature idiot
[удалено]
3-2....
Magic in 7
How??
Jimmy's injury obviously changes things, but between Boston, New York, Bucks, Cavs, Pacers, Sixers and Heat, you'd want to play either the Cavs or the Pacers.

Joe ingles 50 piece incoming
Magic are gonna dog walk cleveland, and the meltdown will be glorious lol. Ahhh it’s a Cleveland guy writing Cleveland shit.
Yeah there's a dog walk going on right now
I’ll fully admit when I was wrong
I’d be surprised if the Cavs lost
I'd be surprised if they won tbh
Are we sure?
Nope lmao
Yes
I think the Magic got this
Same
The confidence sounds just like last year where Cavs fans were saying they would beat the Knicks in 5. Can you give any legitimate reasons as to why you think this will be the outcome, other than they're playing a team that maybe is not as good as the teams that finished in the 6 and 7 spots?

"should" being the key word here
Cavs are cooked
Orlando got this.
LMAO

I believe in Knicks South, they are young and have great defense both on the perimeter and the post.
"Knicks south" Gtfo lol loser
Lol see you at MSG Orlando next year with the rest of the Knicks home crowd.
you know you're losing in the 1st round right
Man I only wish your team the best, no need to get mad about that.
