The NBA fan in me is rooting for the Magic because I like that team more.

The Celtic fan in me is rooting for the Cavs because I'd rather the Celts play the Cavs in round 2.

Both Orlando and Cleveland struggle mightily on the road….particularly the cavs who have been very very marginal away from home.

Just blasted twice in this series in Orlando.

Will need the Cavs to win tonight to drag this series out longer.

Will need Celtics to close out tomorrow's game and get as much rest as possible.

If Porzingis is missing several games anyways (presumably most if not all the 2nd round) does it really matter when the CLE-ORL series ends? I mean, the ECF is projected to start at a certain date range anyways.

If we play Game 1 Sunday, they will probably do that thing where at one point they give the teams a 3-day off stretch between two games, maybe another gap where it's 2 days off. It'll be somewhat spread out. I think it'd matter more if Porzingis was only projected to be out one week but it sounds like it'll be at least 2 weeks.

Cam Payne has one of the ugliest shots in the league.  Shoots like a crab.

Orlando Cleveland just has 7 games written all over it

Wagners will be public enemy number one if they come to Boston. They are handsy and cheap.

The more I watch this game, I want to officially apologize to Embiid.

He gets tired and chokes in the 4th because he's literally carrying that team on one leg and even if he sits a few mins, that team folds quickly. He almost has to play the whole game for them to win. I may have overrated Nick Nurse and Philly's depth, because it's been nonexistent much of this series.

Not sure who I want to win - Sixers or Knicks. I’d prefer if the Sixers won and prolonged the series to increase fatigue and injury risk for both teams, but I also want the Knicks to advance this round.

Looks spent and hobbled.

Sneaky big 8-0 run by ORL before halftime. Gives them a chance to keep it close and steal it

The Sixers are so sloppy on offense. They are beating themselves tonight out there

Wow, that is a small 76ers lineup. No P Reed.

G: Maxey
G: Lowry
F: Oubre
F: Batum
C: T Harris

Tobias Harris is playing center.

Wait, the Knicks went just as small as well.

G: McBride
G: Brunson
F: DiVincenzo
F: J Hart
C: Anunoby

An OG vs Tobias matchup at center.
