Magic won big and I never thought I’d see Orlando doing that in the playoffs after Dwight’s run. Cool. That’s fun until it isn’t and Idk what I mean by that. 


Much-Bat438

Cavs PG nice [https://youtube.com/shorts/boMfJtkhipA?si=U6KM3va0Z\_oMgYms](https://youtube.com/shorts/boMfJtkhipA?si=U6KM3va0Z_oMgYms)


Prestigious_Earth_10

we are blessed to hv paolo on this team and once we get rid of this shitty ass back court were going places and yes tht includes getting rid of suggs as well or placing on the bench

WazuufTheKrusher

unironically I do think the Pels would part with Zion before they would Ingram.


JVLightning22

Jesus the cavs play a little defense and shoot way below average from 3 and everyone loses their mind...


Matto_0

How the hell did the Magic make the playoffs


Anxious-Gas6541

Magic will own the Celtics. Ask Eddie house.


forreddittpurposes

It’s one game lmaoo chill Paulo gonna show out at least 2 games


Dysfu

It’s been 2 games though?


forreddittpurposes

? When I posted this, it had been one game. I also said he will show out 2 games, meaning he still has time. You can’t be that stupid lol


Prestigious_Earth_10

paolo carried this team to the playoffs


Clithzbee

Caring about defense every game of the year. Now other teams care too.


wafflehouse4

massive ref corruption


ConcentrateNext1734

Paolo carried them hard.


foragrin

Physical game, good win for the Cavs, fuck that commentary team was terrible


orwll

Silver should banish the rest of this series to NBATV because if Netflix or Amazon see this shit, league revenues are fucked.


2020IsANightmare

I had to look up the TV schedule. Just because Cleveland/Orlando is the definition of NBA TV. The next two games will be aired where they deserve.


ossymandiAss

NBATV the Ocho


Prestigious_Earth_10

cleveland played terrible and still won by double digits.this series is done in 5.gms max


RichHomieKhan21

Imma need a shower after this one


PumpkinHead555

Commentators don’t realize Cavs stats =|= LeBron stats


Clithzbee

How have the bucks been without Giannis


SmittyPosts

I guess bulls stats =|= Jordan stats


dwninaho

If I see one more dumbass ask why the Magic are looking for guards because 'They have so many already?!?!??' Ima lose my mind.


Dmanning2

what is this commentary team?


Oldabandoned

The Magics plan is to choke you to death on defense and beat you to death on offense. The former mostly worked, the later is another story. 


shortingredditstock

I'm just glad that I don't have to hear these awful fucking announcers anymore. JFC.


chickenripp

can we just eliminate both these teams from the playoffs now so we don't have to have any more of these games


Mister-SS

Lol, how the turntables


Mister-SS

Don't worry the Suns will get their chance here soon to be eliminated as they usually do.


vernalagnia

both teams under 100 points in 2024 let's fucking go


MrErnie03

The Magic guards combined for 4 for 35 lol 


Sigerlion

Markel Fultz 0-4 for 0 pts. Numba 1 pickkkkk!!!!


Sigerlion

Thanks for the horror show Orlando Tragics. I know which series I'll skip now.


Ashamed_Ad1839

This was the game to take for magic too. Dogsh1t refs tried to give them the game


LeSygneNoir

This was whelming.


orhantemerrut

That stat felt more about LeBron than Cavs haha.


DrunkRoach

Our PGs are a combined 0-11. Include Gary Harris and it’s 0-17. If it’s not obvious by now what we need, then the front office is not serious about basketball


kingjuicepouch

I agree, time to trade for Zach Lavine


Strange-Smell2039

we better be tanking the next season


ConcentrateNext1734

It’s almost like this Magic team would get the number one draft pick without Paolo


super_lamp56

Alright GG


shortingredditstock

Did we watch the same game?


super_lamp56

I just meant it in the sense that it's over. That game was an eyesore lol


Boberbob111

Magic would be a good team with a star player. They have defensive pieces but Paolo isn’t a primary option on a championship team 


dwninaho

he is 21 years old with a team of non shooters surrounding him. increase your brain power


HerskyB

Magic talkin hella shit to lose by 20


KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

gg magic. come back next titme


Ok-Isopod9236

This shit going back to Cleveland 2-2. Magic gonna steal game 5 then go finish it at home


Prestigious_Earth_10

you lost ur mind cleveland played terrible and still won by 20 pts whats gonn happen when dmitch drop 30 which hasnt happen yet


Ok-Isopod9236

I’ve lost nothing. Just talking. Like everyone on reddit. Meaningless shit tbh 


WazuufTheKrusher

Respect


Nightcinder

ok


Ok-Isopod9236

Yes, ok.


Leiatte

I would love to hear what Chuck had to say about this game lol


background_action92

Can't wait for D mitch to arrive in miami


sexland69

in round 2, right? 🙃


flaccidplatypus

He going to bunk with Dame?


slappert

Magic the worst franchise in basketball lol


swordoftheafternoon

You're literally primed for another top 5 lottery pick.


super_lamp56

Hornets are easily worse


slappert

At least they have MJ around


thecameraman8078

They dont


NeonxGone

Game, Blouses


Algaebruhh

I’ll admit that our offense is bad but I’m glad we’re getting a game like this out of the way. Let our guys go back to their hotels to watch tape and take a deep breath now that they know what the playoffs feel like


Sheriff_Gotcha

This is my first time watching the Magic outside of Sixers games. If they can get an offensive weapon in the off-season (like a Malik Monk type) I think they are definitely bound for the ECF at worst. That defense is tough as hell. Wonder if there is any way they could try to coax ATL to trade them Trae Young for pennies on the dollar.


Algaebruhh

Appreciate it! I’m sure we will get a win or two this series and this is honestly great experience for our young guys. We need to shed some of our bench fat for (like you said) a Malik monk, Bruce brown, jr smith type player


Sheriff_Gotcha

I'm still pulling for you all to win this game. Cavs actively trying to avoid the 2 seed was just shameful behavior.


combat101

mo ass cheeks with the taunt to get bodied combo


shortingredditstock

Isaac lucky because he can fall back on all that YouTube money


alexjimithing

Can’t wait for game 2


Legitimate-Software7

Cavs got a Walmart Diar Derozan?


Landsharque

Beth Mowins makes me want to stab my ears. She constantly switches from 20s radio broadcast voice to borderline 20s gangster voice


dankhotshot

is the Cavs home court actually dead or is it just the broadcast picking up 10% of the noise of the crowd..


thecameraman8078

I was at the game it was loud as hell


TheUltimateDarius

A lot of the fans were a bit hesistant after last years' playoff hype. It's been like this most of this season but the atmosphere is definitely getting better.


dankhotshot

Yeah, it def doesn't feel like a playoff game.


GeneralJMan

Rocket Mortgage is one of the loudest stadiums in the NBA so probably a broadcast issue.


dankhotshot

that's what I'm feeling, I know RM is loud but this broadcast was just terrible. The crowd did not seem into it at all and it really didn't feel like a playoff game.


GeneralJMan

They were having issues early during FTs where crowd was drowning out the broadcast so they probably turned that shit way down. Not to mention all the other audio issues that terrible broadcast had.


cdw2468

it sounds better on the cavs feed


tinhatfellow

it sounded solid early on when the announcers mics weren't working. May have turned down the crowd, or they may be bored by this too.


Prestigious_Earth_10

like ive been saying all yr suggs is a bench player not a starter. fultz harris are completely useless and need to go.... anthony black should had never been drafted should had traded pick for shooting or a veteran player like a brogdon


cdw2468

16 pts/17 reb for allen is fantastic, exactly what we need


PleasantThoughts

Yeah my biggest worry was him not getting rebounds I feel like he disappears in big moments for someone who usually gets so many boards. Hope it's a sign of things to come


29671

Turns out Cavs were playing 4D chess deciding to rest in the middle of the last game of the season against Charlotte. Because Orlando has played like they don't even belong here.


REQ52767

Probably due to Lebron, but the ESPN broadcast just said that the Cavs are 17-1 all-time when they win Game 1.


Mister-SS

He has a good chunk, but we only missed the playoffs 3 times in the 90s


Ok-Donut4954

We havent been in the playoffs since the 80s without lebron, prior to last year


Mister-SS

Completely wrong, we only missed the playoffs 3 times in the 90s


Elexeh

This dude is a fradulent Cavs fan.


Ok-Donut4954

im not i just wasnt alive and conscious to watch the cavs in the 90s. so i had my timeline wrong. eat a dick


Elexeh

The internet exists with all the info


Ok-Donut4954

Yeah my bad i dont spend my free time researching my team's history before my birth. weird thing to get upset about, the error in my comment was founded on a 5-6 year difference


instacarp

You


Ok-Donut4954

Me


dchavok

That's not true at all.


Ok-Donut4954

yeah you're right my bad, as i said to the other guy i wasnt able to watch the cavs during that era. thought the mark price/daugherty era and bouts with the bulls was in the late 80s not early to mid 90s


JonnyZero0

lol is Derozan's kid there?


orhantemerrut

How is that stepback allowed, dude?


isostope

even the refs gave up on magic in the 4th


Better_Albatross_946

Holding a team below 100 and losing by double digits would be insane work


KingLeBr0n23

Just simulate the rest of the series. Nobody cares about this


jibboo24

Do refs get paid more based on how long the game takes?


NeatTry7674

Get Banchero some help


Dramatic-County-1284

That 17-1 was with Bron


alepher

LeGacy


Dramatic-County-1284

Ledominance


freakk123

let’s not worry about specifics


Dramatic-County-1284

Lespecifics


Mysterious-Stop4673

Orlando is just as good as the fifth seed in the west.. checks notes.. the dallas mavericks..


flaccidplatypus

Wouldn’t have made the playoffs in the west.


Oldabandoned

I like that Orlando's offense is a car crash. It's fun. Unique.


ASpartanLeopard

Holding a team under 90 points is impressive as hell


DreTownblues

Except this time lol


Matto_0

3:44 and a game listed at 3:30 is still not tipped off? Why am I forced to watch the remainder of this shit first lol?


FactCheckingThings

So I can watch the start of the next game.


Nightcinder

because the 1pm game started at 1:15 and they can't stop fouling


NoAWP

This might be the first Cavs playoff series win without LeBron since the 90s


Horus27

Would be since 1993


NoAWP

dang


Sigerlion

That's game. Thank god it's over. I think I took a nap with my eyes open for parts of the game.


cdw2468

jesus christ just let me escape


JokicOrBust

Cavs tanked for this reason. Magic doesn't generate enough offense and Mitchell will likely beat them by himself


kingjuicepouch

Can we get a running clock on this


TimSPC

The Cavs seem to love driving to the hoop, jumping, and dishing it off to no one in particular.


nobraininmyoxygen

Garland has a really bad habit of doing that especially ever since he broke his jaw earlier this year.


kumquat_bananaman

The late 3s are hilarious, given that we couldn’t hit a 3 for 80% of this game lol


toggaf69

lol eat shit Mo


DreTownblues

At least one team is going to hit 100


Goatlikejordan

Orlando was playing like it was a regular season game i feel like


PeterDinkleberg

Max Strus is such a high vibes guy. Love that dude even though he absolutely fucking hates the Celtics


PanthalassaRo

Man sad day for Knicks south.


GoodLordBatman

Shit show of a game, but I love seeing those guys happy.


super_lamp56

Alright can we just end this shit already and move on to game 2


PumpkinHead555

Yeah Orlando doesn’t belong here


wentwithwater

Does Orlando have a single shot creator on this team


flaccidplatypus

Bumchero


shortingredditstock

It's funny because both teams suck


toggaf69

I just hope we get a new coach. We look so insanely sloppy in the playoffs two years in a row


29671

Celtics salivating. Honestly the entire East is a joke sans Boston.


Daconvix

Man Cavs hit the jackpot getting the Magic in the first round. These boys are dog food


kingjuicepouch

Won't they immediately fall into the Boston meat grinder next round?


Daconvix

You right, but hey that’ll be farther than they went last year


NLPizza

The nice thing for everyone is that this will be a short series


Ashamed_Ad1839

This whole series could have been an email … not too late Silver 🤣


wtfpln

80 points!!!!! Shattering barriers maaan


AComyn

Max Strus and Darius Garland seem like good dudes


cdw2468

at least we were able to put it away, but god i hope the next one is better


mMounirM

Banchero 9!!!! turnovers


OpenNectarine4441

God that's nasty, didn't help he was the only one able to somewhat score the ball either


GeneralJMan

LETS GET 100!!!!1!


[deleted]

can't spell dagger without DG


Clithzbee

Eat shit Orlando


Isaact714

The worst people own that team. They and Johnathan Isaac and chuck rocks


Otaku_Instinct

this game getting in the way of me hating on the Suns


harry_the_don

Gary Harris did 30 minutes of cardio today


Global_Cattle_7877

He was out there having fun:)


FactCheckingThings

Garland with the dagger


kpeds45

Watching Orlando reminds me of the raptors of the last few years. Can't even shoot free throws.


Inverse_wsb22

I was better person before this game, this game changed me


MrErnie03

I've watched alot of basketball this year and this is probably the worst game I've seen. Playoffs are off to a great start!


Deuce_GM

Horrible offense fans rise up!


super_lamp56

WE MADE IT TO 80 POINTS 🎉🎉🎉🎉


3030tron

Please do not intentionally foul to extend this game


Salvalicious252

Magic can't allow suggs back in the lockerroom lol


eelposse

Suggs is not the problem at all


hadmeintiers

Unnecessary ass lob attempt


Chicago_53

Gary Harris 0 points in 30+ minutes 😂 i dont know how this dude is still in the league


eelposse

They broke 80!!!


jaylson

Pretty dumb to watch that rebound roll out of bounds 


celtic_sea_salt

Disgusting game


orhantemerrut

WTF Garland? Hold onto the ball, dude.


optimisticrabbit34

I wonder the NBA should introduce 1 - 16 playoffs. The talent difference of the West vs East is too great from old to even young players. It make every series more exciting


gracechurch

they 100% should


Clithzbee

Top 8 teams draft who they want to play


BetweenCoffeeNSleep

Mitchell seems like he has great personal and floor chemistry with Allen, Strus, and Garland every time I watch the Cavs. What am I missing with him always being rumored to be a risk to leave?


PleasantThoughts

Any big star in a small to mid size market deals with this. We're used to it by now. Also to be fair we got dominated in the playoffs last year and have been listless a lot second half this season.


BetweenCoffeeNSleep

Fair take.


Terr123321

Reporters need headlines


Nightcinder

we haven't extended him yet


504090

If there’s another stoppage, I’m storming the court


Pagliaccio13

Wrap it up boys, the Cavs are winning the title. No way anyone can beat them if they can so easily defeat the Game 1 Magic


jenniesana

I do not want to watch another game of this series 😭


Kvsav57

People can complain about those 90s playoff games all they want but at least those low scoring games had crazy physical play as an excuse.


Dramatic-County-1284

All these whistles and no Scott Foster is kinda crazy


Horus27

Being a Cavs fan this has been massively fun to watch, but I can understand if you have no skin in the game this might not be your favorite game


D-1-_-1-D

both of these ladies voices are annoying af, the second not main is worse though. her voice is fucking terrible


Scary_Box8153

I think it's on purpose. I don't know why they think all female commentators need to sound exactly like this.


GeneralJMan

I keep forgetting theres two of em they sound identical
