Don’t think I could stand a series with Orlando having to watch these Wagner tools

Geeze, looking likely that there’s no Dame or Giannis for Game 4. I think if there’s any question then you sit both of them and hope they can return for Game 5.

I'd hold them both out for the foreseeable future. An Achilles tear for either of them would be devastating - Dame because of his age and Giannis because so much of his game relies on his athleticism. It sucks because of the time of year, but they have too much money tied up in these players to roll them out there when they're at risk for a more significant injury.

Mitchell and Garland seem to be really struggling with Orlando’s size/length.

What a collapse by Cavs wow

What a collapse by Cavs wow

Yeah, only 18 points since the second half for them, and only 4 min left in the game.
what the heck happened?

and 'fire JB' is now trending on x

Really bad showing by Donovan Mitchell in the playoffs so far. Got to question his value as a legit #1 and his desire to stay in Cleveland.

If last years Celtics continue to show up don’t worry you won’t have to

Exactly. If these guys keep p---ing their pants every time they see the Heat we will be talking about the NBA draft and free agency pretty soon instead of the playoffs.

We’ll learn something tonight. Probably nothing definitive, but a win means they have some fight in them, and a loss means, well, probably something more definitive.

He’s too small to be a legitimate #1 option. Measured 6’1” at the NBA draft combine. Orlando is putting bigger players on Mitchell and it really seems to be bothering him.

This Cavs-Magic series just highlights how inconsistent both teams are. Pretty much every game has been a blowout (the final scores in Game 1 and 2 are a bit misleading, garbage time points and such).

The Magic and Pacers both seemed nervous in Game 1 but have gained momentum since. That said, Cleveland-Orlando might just come down to HCA because both teams are simply inconsistent.

The Celtics really have no excuses. I mean the path is there for them with Giannis AND Lillard likely out now and the next round being CLE-ORL. But of course... it's up to them if they want to show up. Ironically I kind of think MIA might be the toughest team we face in the first two rounds even without Jimmy. CLE and ORL have their strengths but they also have notable flaws and ORL in particular aren't as experienced.

[Who]

SGA does have some legit Jordan vibes.

[Phantom255x]

Nuggets, Wolves up 3-0 and OKC are well on their way to starting 3-0. 3 of the 4 teams who qualified for the Phil Jackson infamous "40/20 rule". The other team is Boston.

[Who]

Is Hayward playing center?

F: SGA
F: Jalen Williams
C: G Hayward

Hayward is in terrible shape. He looks like G Niang. Fat.
