2023-24 Season | Playoff series #1 | Cavaliers vs. Magic |

Wasn't able to watch last night but saw some highlights. Just now looking at the box score, Mobley had 3 points on 1-5? Dude just made the second best defensive play in franchise history to help win a crucial playoff game then follows it up with this? I was so ready for him to be our guy too . . .

He went down like midway second I my memory is correct and I was worried he might not return in the second half...

Yeah, Allen isn't going to play. I will be surprised if he plays against Boston if we win tomorrow.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Me too, phew...

Damn. I mean, I expected CPJ and Wade to be out, but I was really kind of hoping for Ty Jerome.

Lets remember this next year when people say "home court doesn't matter". For this young team. It sure the hell does.

Home court is our only hope of winning this thing.

I’ll go out in a limb and say that Donovan is going to get doubled in Game 7. Will the other players and coaching staff step up?

 

[Ohioplayer00]

I disagree about JA. He has a real man's post game complete with footwork and polished post moves. Put him in the right surrounding cast and he'd dominate the paint.

Not really! Allen gets pushed off the box easily just like Mobley and his boxing out technique is terrible

 

[Ohioplayer00]

What’s stopping players from moving on offense. Yes, Mitchell is dumbly doing iso, but can the other guys not move? Yes, they might get in Mitchell’s way but a guy like Strus should always be moving. Everyone actually

The ISO stuff and no player movement is all on the coach. He’s the one who puts together the offensive system…..and the one who has to make the appropriate adjustments and get on players’ asses.

JB is 2 minutes to midnight.....

Cavs make history​

The Cavs have made history today they have overcome the largest game 7 deficit in the history of the postseason down 18 pts.

At the half this is what the news cycle was

Bad news for the Cavs?​

Teams are 4-41 (.089) over last 70 postseasons when trailing by 10+ at halftime in a Game 7. The Cavs are down at the break 53-43.

Only one of the last 27 teams down by 10+ at halftime of Game 7 has come back to win (Golden State in 2018 against the Rockets).

1st time since 1993 without Lebron

The Cavs have not won a playoff series without James on their roster since 1993. That was Lenny Wilkens' final season as Cleveland's head coach.

Before the series I heard all about how Isaac is a game changer, wasn’t impressed. He’s just a bigger okoro with slightly better shooting, and less impact on defense.
