Orlando should have won they must be sick 😫
Ugh missed the game today so watching highlights and in a 9:30 minute video there’s 10 minutes of ads!!
The cavs barely got any with this game. Donovan Mitchell had a great game. The other guys like Durius Garland, Issac Okuro, and a little bit more of Mobley will have to benefit the whole team by stepping it up against the Celtics. Mobley just needs to be more aggressive on the boards and garland just needs to get to the line maybe move around to get open for his shots or be a facilitator
Fultz is now a serviceable bench player. He is good in his role. But you still have to label him a bust because he was a #1. Just like Lonzo Bust is also a bust.
this was like the series nobody cared about
Suggs was the weakest link
the series was just a battle of home court advantage 😭
Arriba Cavaliers , los amos.
There's a bright future ahead of this Orlando team. Give Paolo Banchero and the magic team credit for having a blast.
I want and think CAVS should trade Mobley and Garland for Embiid.
Cavs Going braz🪁
Up 20 then down 10, that's a 30 point swing when they crumbled. Gotta kick yourself the whole summer, that was their game to win.
I was at this game. Best game of my life, everyone was as loud as they should be. 10/10
Why eid they give the crowd white towels? Lol
Experience triumphed in the end! Good game Orlando! You guys have a bright future ahead.
Damnnn
Word in Cleveland , LeBron will be in attendance for the next round ! 👑
Am i the only one that heard the announcer say "Karl" Anthony at 2:55?!?! Got me doing research and ish 🤣😂🤣😂 smh
C'mon up to Boston baby. We are ready for you.
Banchero might be the best player in the league in a few years. Magic are gonna be tough if they can keep the core around.
Good games
HOW CAN ANYONE BE SAD? I cant be more proud of this MAGIC team for coming out of nowhere to give Cleveland and the NBA a 7 game series! This team is going nowhere but up! and the delusional Cleveland trolls are just staying where they are! lmaoo! they will never win the championship but Orlando? This is just their floor! See you all next year WE HAVE A REVENGE SERIES against the CAVS just waiting ! peace
If Mitchell thinks he is gonna score at will in the next series he is wrong.be a good time to reconnect with his teammates for the quarter finals..good luck Cleveland but it don t look good.
I guess you guys wont be playing that song lol😅😅😅😅😅
If the Cavaliers had a top-tier coach this series would have went five games. Such a shame this talented Cavaliers team has been dragged down the last two seasons, and you could count the play-in game 3 years ago, by such a crappy coach, Bickerstaff is downright awful.
