2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

Cleveland super-small. Merrill is an undersized SG playing SF now alongside Garland and D Mitchell in the backcourt.

They have a small SF in Okoro at PF playing Banchero. With Mobley as their sole player with size. And he is a skinny finesse based center.

[blink]

what the heck is happening to the Cavs?

[Who]

D Mitchell 2-10 FGA 8-8 FTA.

[celticinorlando]

Cavs look like they are about out of gas

[Who]

Cleveland 9-33 FGA

[celticinorlando]

Man. Anyone else feel the cavs would be is in serious trouble vs Boston?

They legit would not have anything left Tuesday and Thursday

[Who]

Orlando's scoring is interesting.

Banchero has 20pts.
Wendell has 8pts.

Nobody else has more than 4pts but they got 6 guys with 2 to 4pts combining for 19pts.

Orlando could go cold if Cleveland could slow down Banchero. He is basically half their offense so far. Two assists for 3s. 26 of 48 Magic points.

If Jarrett Allen isn't back, they cannot compete with BOS. 

[Who]

Banchero reminds me of George McGinnis.

An under control version of George McGinnis.

[celticinorlando]

Neither of these teams can score with the Celtics

[celticinorlando]

Make Orlando shoot jumpers and it’s over. They are super sloppy

[Who]

Magic 10 deep. 9 have scored now.

Ingles the only scoreless player.

[celticinorlando]

Orlando showed their youth the last half of that quarter

[Phantom255x]

Big 12-2 run to end the half for Cleveland.

Yeah as others have mentioned, take away the easy shots for Banchero and the Magic offense gets cold fast. They showed it the last 3 minutes, Cleveland tightened up on defense

[Who]

Interesting closing lineup by CLE

G: D Mitchell
G: S Merrill
F: LeVert
F: Okoro
C: Mobley

No Garland. Better size in the backcourt. Merrill gets to play in his proper position. Mitchell is a big PG. LeVert giving them a secondary ball-handler at SF and is delivering. Okoro a 3+D. Mobley.

LeVert has 10pts. Merrill 8pts. They are the 2nd and 3rd leading scorers for the Cavs. Garland and Mobley have gone missing on offense. Garland has 2pts 1ast. Mobley 4pts 0ast.

Cleveland might have found something that works.
