    Cavs matched up very well against the Celtics throughout the regular season, this is gonna be a fun series

  3. Kyler1313

    Celtics exorcized their Caleb Martin demons. Now it’s time to exorcise their Max Strus demons.

  4. Number333

    Cavs win their 1st playoff series since ***1993*** without LeBron James.

  7. Morezingis

    21 free throws in last 5 minutes of the game. Nasty work. 

  8. Aspery-

    One of the nastiest disasterclasses of all time committed by franz today

  9. Hold_my_Dirk

    Donovan was incredible but the Cavs don’t win without Okoro and Levert. Two of the guys that have gotten the most grief from the fan base the past few years. Love to see it.

  13. RonnocFjord

    I never wanna hear another Ringer employee say Franz is better than Paolo again

  16. Quality_Cucumber

    Donovan probably so relieved he got help in the second half lol

  17. Lacabloodclot9

    Magic need shooting bad this offseason

    No not Klay Thompson, he is not the answer

  19. PumpkinHead555

    Front office needs to surround Paolo, Suggs and Franz with shooters

  20. DrunkRoach

    Disappointed, but the experience was well needed. Hopefully we can pull a superstar in the off season to counteract our inexperience

  22. boozinf

    i think Mobley had like two blocks and a strip steal on that last possession i will take no more Mobley slander he went full Myles Garrett just because

  23. Boobygirls

    Okoro and Mobley should be complimented for their defense. Okoro might have been the second most important Cav today.

  24. attapulgus

    It’s sometimes said that a series doesn’t really start until a road team wins. So was this all a figment of our imaginations?

  25. LakerDuck

    Did Franz Wagner just have the worst game 7 performance this century? I know 94 John Starks is always the go-to choice but I’m struggling to think of anybody no showing a game 7 to this degree since 2000

  27. Zavalasdeadkid

    Don’t mind what happens with Boston, just happy the Cavs finally won a playoff series.

  28. Thegoodlife93

    Banchero really validating those young LeBron comparisons putting up 38 while his teammates put up bricks. Real talk though he’s a great young player.

  29. guyoncrack

    Suggs but especially Franz let Orlando down big time. They won’t sleep well.

  31. Acrobatic-Dog7044

    Spida is gonna have to play the series of his life to some how be competitive against the Celtics.

  32. Beanfactor

    If I’m not mistaken, the east runs through Cleveland.

  33. thatdani

    Magic fans, blame the Cavs comeback on u/lil_layne after this comment from the 2nd quarter

    > This is the least interesting game 7 I have ever watched. Cavs please go on a run so I don’t have to cope with the fact that I am wasting my Sunday afternoon watching this game.
