2023-24 Playoff Series #1 | Game #6 | Cavs @ Magic | May 3, 2024

[Peacedog]

The Cavs got blasted by 23 and 38 the first two games here. Then in Cleveland they won by one point after winning the first two by 14 and 10. No way I'd bet on the Cavs tonight, especially if Allen is out and the Magic had two days to game plan instead of two hours.

The Cavs will lose by double digits. I'd say not as badly as Games 3 and 4 because Morris is in for Niang, but I don't see a Cavs' win or a three-point loss.

Garland and Strus continuing to play at the level they played on Tuesday will keep the score from being embarassing, IMO.

Gary Harris is questionable for tonight, but no biggie as he's shooting 25% and averaging 3.8 points in 26 minutes. Horrifying numbers for a starting 2 on a playoff team.

Be prepared to eat your words later tonight, Dr. Doom!

I did end up putting down the $100.

Hey, I hope we win. But it does seem like a weird line given how the series has gone so far and Allen's uncertain status.

Our X-factor last game was Morris. Hope JB has Allen because a trio of Mobley, Allen and Morris in the paint for 48 minutes will force the Magic to outside shots more often. And while some think Mo is irrelevant, he gives the Magic physicality and worse, hope + believe that the Magic can beat the Cavs. But Tristan gave Mo his 1st minus game of series in game 5 with a -4. JB should give TT 5-8 minutes just soften up the kids on the other side

Woah woah woah watch your mouth Dr Doom Jr, it was me who had to talk your goddamn head straight.

No surprise, things really went south game 4 when Allen went down and Niang came in. Niang and Garland are oil in water.

Let's hope Donovan is just as hot when he steps on the court tonight!

So is Allen playing? I saw he was added back in FanDuel props but couldn’t find anything on x.com

Don’t think we know yet. This is the last update so far…

Given his performance and probable injury I am very concerned about regression to the mean. If the Cavs manage to pull off this win I will be incredibly impressed. I think they can do it but they need to execute a strong game plan and then make the right changes at the half

Need to run and gun. Pace, 3s and rebounding. Saw some thing that says the refs tonight are good for away teams, hopefully that holds true. We’ll need all the help we can get!
