    Bright lights of ~~MSG~~ Kia Center too much for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

  3. EutaxySpy

    Turns out it was the Cavs with the putrid offense lmao. 4 games in a row where they’ve been unable to break 100 points. They’re the same team as last year getting bullied on the glass again and getting blown out by 20+ points even with Paolo Banchero dropping 9 points

  5. HokageEzio

    Still 2-2 and going back home, but that was two demoralizing losses by Cleveland. They looked awful.

  6. Bellerophonn

    Before the official garbage time, Cleveland main rotation scored only 18 points in the second half.

    Monumental collapse.

  7. IsaacDPOYFultzMIP

    Finally we gonna have a max contract player this offseason

    THE DEMISE OF THE ORLANDO MAGIC AFTER 2 GAMES WAS HEAVILY EXAGGERATED

  10. kaedak

    If the Magic can keep scoring close to an average NBA level, this series is over. The Cavs have been unable to navigate Orlando’s defense any of the four games, yet to score more than 97.

  12. itsnotyellowfever

    The Cavaliers scored 29 points in the *entire* second half. **EIGHTEEN** before both teams emptied their bench. Masterful defensive performance by Orlando but also an abysmal game for Cleveland

  14. AddMoreHops

    That 3rd quarter was the worst thing that’s happened in Orlando since that alligator ate that kid at Disney world

  16. PrimalCookie

    ORLANDO MAGIC

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  17. Clzark

    A lot of you owe an apology to both Rudy and to Jazz fans

  18. cool_coyote

    I mean I understand the rational: the home team did what they were suppose to do, it don’t mean much.

    But these back-to-back loses have been so disappointingly bad for the Cavs that I don’t know how you can have full faith in them going forward.

  19. Kait0yashio

    even with paolo playing like ass we pull out the dub, we go again magic in 6

  20. jakehightower

    I know Niang is still recovering from that brutal hit to the head but with modern medical technology and a commitment to rehab I think he can still live a full, happy life.

  21. SweetFranz

    Would not have predicted Cavs absolutely crumbling in both of these games

  22. EutaxySpy

    Karma from basketball gods for the Cavs tanking that last game like cowards

  23. _Egraam

    I’m sorry, but this Cavs team looks comically bad. I thought Magic’s offense is terrible but Cavs seem to be on another level of being awful. Still not a single game over 100 points by them.

  24. DeathsIntent96

    TWENTY non-garbage time points in the second half by the Cavs.

    Edit: Turns out it was actually EIGHTEEN. Yikes.

  25. Ice_Dragon3444

    Cavs are probably regretting tanking for this matchup now.

  27. Street-Common-4023

    I fully believe the magic can beat the Cavs in 6 games if they carry this momentum of how they played in the second half into game 5. Less turnovers, being competitive, hustling. Since game 1 franz has been amazing and especially in this game. Paolo got to play faster into his spots tho for sure.

    Cavs are soft as shit. All the magic have to do despite having one of the worst road records is win one in the Cavs arena to mentally destroy them. I’m glad I watched this game.

    LETS GOO MAGIC PLAY THE SONG

  28. moneyinthebank216

    Magic going on 20-2 run and JB is just standing there with that stupid look on his face refusing to call time out WHAT THE FUCK BRO

  29. AlonsoQ

    top 3 teams by point differential

    MIN 3-0, +54

    ORL 2-2, +37

    OKC 2-0, +34

  33. ExpandTheHorizons

    Seeing Franz and Wendell playing great basketball on this stage makes me big sad

  34. PlayInChampions

    Isaac is one of the, if not the best 1v1 defender in the league. When he makes his 3s, he is a real game-changer.

  35. Plants_R_Cool

    If the Magic, Wolves, and Thunder all win a playoff series I’ll be happy.

  36. 36Vigilantes

    Man, huge credit to our whole entire organization. Our fanbase was DYING for a trade, and Weltman and co decided to trust the baked in chemistry to carry us thru the development of two future Superstar Wings.

    That third quarter was the most menacing defense we’ve played all year and the offense caught up and came thru. We are in year three (3) of a rebuild and we Are so fucking far ahead of schedule it makes no sense.

    Adam Silver got to witness what this shit is about. Paolo and Franz will get the full treatment from the league next season ti amplify them, deservedly so.
