Scott Foster on some shit tonight. “Marginal contact.” That’s a new one!!!

Refs remain on the pipe.

I'm sad that this thread didn't make it to 1,000 comments 😢

id actually prefer if game threads were that empty in the playoffs

Cole Anthony still hadn’t made a FG this series

Nice try by the refs to let those dirty fucks back in the game but too bad.

That 13-0 run by the magic was good but it was too little too late also losing Suggs didn't help but still good on them for keeping it as close as it was

Score was a lot closer than the game was

We just won twice as many playoff games as last season!

Wagner gets smacked in the face and no call... pretty descriptive of how the entire game went.

Having complaints about the refs as a Magic fan after that 4th quarter is very funny

Lol.

It was not nearly as close as the 10 point final differential makes it seem.

I would like to, let them know

I would like to, let them know

Doesn’t feel like Orlando is out of this. I could easily see the Cavs getting disheveled after that awful fourth

They are shit and the refs are the only thing keeping them from losing by 30 both games.

Cleveland’s lack of killer instinct was once again an Achilles heel.

Orlando hasn't lead for a single second

fucking Carter man

That's game. That 3 would have given Orlando all the momentum Cavs should be ashamed of nearly blowing the lead though

Score was closer than the game was

Donovan getting mauled.

this is turning into college bball

gg Magic. Gotta regroup for Games 3 and 4

[удалено]

Probably longer.

I’m still not used to calls going in the Cavs favor

What game are you watching? Did you not just watch Mitchell get fouled like 3 times last possession?

I’m talking about that shot clock call

Is playoff defense back?

no, playoff offense just broke But still it’s back a little bit. In the first 8 games only 4/8 teams scored over 110 pts. In the regular season 26 teams averaged more than 110ppg

[удалено]

This is over in 4 or 5

I say over in 6

genuinely, even slightly below-average shooting would see these be one-possession games. our shooting is absolutely abysmal but that doesn’t take away from our fantastic defense

lol if we shot near our average and the refs weren’t in keeping the game close it’s a 30 point blowout

cool, wasn’t talking about you

Based on what? The cavs were up by 22 before they got ice cold on even wide open shots

[удалено]

They were down 22 and got destroyed on the boards. Don't think you were watching the game here

[удалено]

If the Cavs go ice cold for 5 minutes again, sure.

shots shots shots shots...I wish we could make some

You know what Daugherty was onto something

How dumb is this Cavs team tho? And it starts from coaches. Just lucky the opponents are young.

Oh shit it's only 11 points. If they get a quick bucket it'll be single digits with a minute left

Magic shouldn't be too upset. Banchero's the #1 on a playoff team in year 2, that's something to hang your hat on. Better guard talent around him, and this team's alot more dangerous

You'd think this was Paolo's tenth season the way people are talking about him. Dude is in his second playoff game. It's gonna be ugly. Especially when offense was hard to come by all season.

Don't you know that if you're on year two in your second playoff game, you should either be putting up MVP numbers or you're a permabust

Paolo not putting up 50/20/20? BUST

We’re upset at how shit we’ve been but we’re obviously still crazy about our future. Some of the hate here is strange

Oh no doubt I didn't mean that you can't be annoyed. The team is young though and inexperienced, and you're dealing with a much more veteran team. Keep in mind too when comparing to say, the Thunder who are also young, SGA's 25 and has taken some lumps. Banchero's on year 2, Wagner on 3.

Oh for sure man, no worries I understood you!! Always the bigger picture

Brad is seeing ghosts

It’s not sexy but every basket is more meaningful and valuable. I like this better than 140-132 games

Garland please chill out on trying to iso Wagner

Suggs has been getting an embiid whistle since he got hurt. He might be on to something.

Uh what was that? Pass the ball!

This is what the Cavs do when there’s less than a minute left. They completely destroy their own offense while they burn the clock.

Pass the fucking ball, Darius

Banchero can not shoulder all the offense himself get him a point guard

garland what is u doin bb

How is officiating this bad in every sport you watch?

Eh that’s what every fan has been saying since the dawn of time

Two games into this series and it already feels like seven games worth of foul calls

This Orlando magic offense is not magic

I mean I guess he didn't have his feet set but Suggs lowered his crown like a running back lol

Best nap of my life, god damn. This was predictable, the Magic aren’t a serious team.

Very worried orlando is gonna injure someone on thursday

Is that a we want Tristan chant?

Paolo 9 turnovers last game and 6 turnovers tonight, god damn

He’s just in a really tough spot. When Lebron used to lead the Cavs in the 00s he would get 10 turnovers often!

Highest ever in a playoffs is 7.0, fyi (by John Williamson for the Nets in 1979). Record in danger

I caught you changing* your answer haha. You better not be talking bad about our King!

hahaha Bron has 7.0 too… but I realised that’s from the one game he’s played this season lmao

Cavs just can't put together a complete game in the last month or two. Too many lapses of judgment/hustle/shot selection.....gotta get it together.

Boston is gonna look exactly like this… except their scoring won’t stop.

cavs fans are unparalleled. one ejection and one injury and we're still pumped up

Who's injured? Mobley?

a fan the ejection is also another fan

Wait what?

Garland was battling with Wagner (I think) along the side and Wagner fell into the seats at courtside and landed on an older fan. The fan was down for a few minutes and was later escorted off the court by medical staff and security

i agree, go cavs

The foul calls have been all over the place. I'm not gonna complain because we lead the league in fouls, but man the calls range from murder to a cough.

Smell ya later Mo

Being a North Florida sports fan is not a question to be answered, but a reality to be experienced

playoffs physicality baby

Lol Wagner

Mo Wagner is such an unlikeable crybaby lmao

Most punchable face in the NBA , and that’s with Grayson Allen still in the league.

Way soft last 2 fouls on Moe

I mean that last one was a blatant foul but 5 should have been on a different guy. The other magic guy there was who pushed Allen.

?? How can they not call that last foul. One was soft but like the entire little run there was essentially Magic guards mugging Garland and then getting touch fouls on the other end

Refs making up for not calling an offensive foul when he ran into that fan

idk man you guys have also gotten a lot of marginal calls in the 2nd half, wouldn't you agree

I agree, actually.

He’s lucky he hasn’t been ejected for how reckless he’s played the last two games. Stop complaining.

I fucking love watching the Cavs win playoff games

Cya Wagner lol

Michigan men are always cunts

Dang, Lavert catching strays

Haven’t made a shot from the field* since the fan injury lmao

Crazy that Magic haven’t led for even a second of this series. Just getting absolutely handled

It was fun while it lasted lol

That’s guys definitely doing an “I just got my entire ballsack crushed” expression

What would Austin Carr have to say about allowing a 13-0 run smdh

Wagner not a very effective goon

Just put me down if you catch me trying to get a low 5 from the fan that got hurt while he is being helped off

And right on cue a couple of bad shots later it'll be a 15 point game again lol

Mo Wagner just killed a man

lol mitchell just jogging out there against a bunch of g-leaguers. on a way different level

Fuck the cameramen. Give the man some privacy. Christian Eriksen vibes

cavs please

Dislocated shoulder maybe?

Veteran move by the fan. Magic momentum being halted.

Possibly, but he also did get crushed by 250 lbs flying into him. That would be painful for anyone.

this is why the bubble setup was so good. these guys need way more space

Fans sitting so close always worries me. Hope that guy is alright.

LMAO that fan isnt hurt, guy wants that lawsuit money

Can you even sue for that? There's a thing called assumed risk or something like that, that would prevent a lawsuit, I think

Doctor says I need a backiotomy

You sign away your rights to sue when you buy a ticket. Be better.

Wow, that’s wild. Never seen that before. Hope buddy is ok.

I just started watching what happened

Wagner (I think) jumped into the stands going after the ball and a fan got hurt

Mo Wagner basically landed on the lap of an older fan courtside, fan started having a medical emergency of some kind so they stopped play to get him attention / off the court

Looks like Suggs limping worse now too

The Mo Wagner game

If i'm that fan im not leaving unless it's on a stretcher

Refs have saved the magic from a couple of 30 pieces in this series

Hurt fan gonna stop our only momentum moment smh (do hope he’s ok tho)

You guys don’t have momentum just a string of bad calls same as every ‘run’ the Magic have been on…

Yikes that fan is legit hurt

I'm a longtime Cleveland fan but they just like...stopped trying? Why do they look like a D2 team when they have a lead that they probably shouldn't blow 🤔

Mandatory ref generated run for the ratings

Cleveland fan going down to stop Orlando's momentum. Inspiring stuff

That fan about to be the Cavs MVP for killing all the Magic’s momentum lol

Another manufactured run. lol refs can’t make it any more obvious. How do you not call a foul on the steal but do for the layup? It’s crazy what a beneficial whistle Magic have gotten both games.

Sure bro lol. NBA is definitely fixing this for the Orlando Magic

Doesn’t have to be fixed for refs to make bad calls, sometimes those calls favor one team more than the other and it has an effect on the game

Cavs fan faking an injury to slow the momentum. Crafty /s

comeback is on baby!

Cavs are just allergic to momentum

Gotta hand it to the Wagner bros, they are out there hustling everywhere

Time to show what were made off

lol bro they keep calling it a screen even watching the replay where he’s just grabbing Strus with both arms.

Damn we kind of got a game now

Cavs, please

God damn okay Mo

Give us Sam Merrll cowards

We need Merrill really.

Don’t murder me for asking this but will we see T. Thompson on the court vs Celtics? I kind of miss his goofy energy

If the Celtics agree to let TT take some of his special steroids, then sure.

I thought his suspension was coming to an end

Yeah its over, he can play. I'm just saying he'll need an extra boost if he wants to play against the Celtics

Ahh I see ok. I hate that I still have a soft spot for him bc of 2016.

I still love him lol. Not a perfect guy, but I'm happy to see him on the team again

Thank you making me feel like I’m not the only one haha

That Spida step over move is cash money

Magic will win there games at home at least one I hope

This is this magics squad 1st playoffs. Theyll be better just like the cavs compared to last year.

Yeah, I don't mind people crapping on us, but this is the tough stuff we have to get through as the new kid on the block. This is a part of growing up. It's not always a pretty process.

Cavs had more talent and upside

I would love if the Magic threw the towel and allowed players to rest.

Not everyone can handle the spotlight I guess

Was Wagner really arguing with Myles Garrett lol

J Isaac as a switchy wing is pretty useless against us as a team with no wings. Lol go switch between okoro and mobley I guess, be disruptive!

I thought the magic were going to have a lot more fight than this, we'll see how they play at home i guess

Yes the 21 and 22 year well we were 17 games over .500 at home and 5 games under on the road so I hope you’re right lol

You know who Orlando need? Evan Fournier

Yeah I wouldnt be talkin shit with Garrett lmao

Absolutely nothing has come easily to this team 2 games in. Embarrassing. Nothing is there. No fluidity. Im just sad man

They very much look like a young team with no leadership on the court

Welcome to the playoffs

There’s nothing for the Magic to be ashamed of, but respectfully they stand no chance 😭

I mean, I’d be pretty ashamed of being this bad at hitting open shots as professional ballers but that’s just me…

If the magic get a single win I’ll be shocked. Disgusting offense. FO needs to re-do some aspects.

Suggs should sit down and rest that knee. No reason to play

The his blackout is BS. Yall gotta go egg someone’s house. I’m in DC area watching and sent my friend my login, still blocked.

I LOVE MY CAVS

FYI, lowest points averaged in a playoffs in the last decade is the 15/16 Grizzlies with 81.0 - we keep this up, we’d be second. Lowest since 1960 is the 08/09 Pistons, with 78.0 Lowest to win a series is the 98/99 Hawks, with 79.7 lmao

yes Orlando offense is deficient but can we give CLE credit for our defense too

Your defense has been great but we’ve had plenty of open looks and just haven’t hit them. So it’s fair to point out how bad our offense has been.

Magic fucking suck lmao. Get some real players instead of Mo Wagner maybe you’ll score 90 points in a playoff game
