I’m not sure Cleveland can last physically with Boston in a series

I’m not sure Cleveland can last physically with Boston in a series

Even without KP, we have a good size advantage against the Cavs.

[celticinorlando]

It Thompson and Morris get rotation minutes vs Boston…good luck

Cavs bench is….yeesh

[Who]

If I was Cleveland, I'd have Mobley out there in the 2nd unit. They did such an excellent job of hunting mismatches for Mobley against Cole Anthony in the first two games. Got him going with post-ups and short hook shots.

They need to get Mobley involved in the offense.

Cavs can’t score with Mitchell off the floor

[Phantom255x]

9-0 Magic run. Cavs could be done if they can't claw back soon.

[Who]

Strong lineup by ORL. Going for the kill.

G: C Anthony
G: Suggs
F: F Wagner
F: Banchero
F: J Isaac
C: Mo Wagner

This is against CLE's 2nd unit.

Edit: Sorry, wrong Wagner.

Cleveland bringing their main guys back. Mitchell and Mobley back in to matchup.

[Phantom255x]

The Magic look really good but overall I'm not worried about either team. Cleveland looks slow, tired and are banged up (including Allen who might be dealing with something more serious). Magic are young and remind me of those "bridgey Celtics" between 2015-2018, but they'll get overwhelmed by a more talented team and they don't have that *killer* on the team just yet.

[celticinorlando]

Cavs might be the easier team to beat. They just do not score unless Mitchell goes big

But Boston should not have any issues with either

[Who]

Mobley invisible on offense. He has got to be their 3rd scorer today. Needs to step up. Be more aggressive. Use that speed to catch and drive off of movement.

And target C Anthony on switches. He is on the floor. Exploit him.

[Who]

Cleveland are more like a .500 team without J Allen.

That guy is worth 10 wins by himself.

[celticinorlando]

Cavs have zero offense past Mitchell and garland.

[Phantom255x]

Banchero coming alive the past few games and so far today too. But I think if the C's can hound him defensively, they should be fine. Orlando doesn't have *firepower* on offense to keep up. Like @Who mentioned, some of the matchups Cleveland is giving him is not working and they aren't really adjusting.

[Who]

Hey, Sam Merrill!

I have missed him in this series. He has barely played. A shorter version of Sam Hauser. Only 6-4. Matchups have been difficult to get him on the floor. Benefit of a 6-8 Hauser who you can get on the floor against anyone.

[Who]

Mobley reminds me so much of Anthony Randolph.
