Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Diatike should have taken a bus on that last possession.

18 threes on 51% doesn’t get a mention by the commentators ?

That's to be expected by our 2nd and 3rd team.

I will note that the Magic's defense has been non-existent. This is basically 3 point practice for the guys.

Neto still looks like he can play, and Green has looked good. Cedi looks good as long as he doesn't try to create, which he is attempting with these scrubs.

Diatike's hands aren't good, which is a problem for a hustle big.

Brobley looks a tad clumsy/slow to me but I’m going to give both Diakite and him a pass because I’m sure they’re both pressing a little given the magnitude of the situation ; like I mentioned earlier, even given those “liabilities”, they both seem ready and able to contribute more than the present version of Dean Wade, although he does have the edge in experience which come playoffs is a valuable commodity
 
I've never questioned Brobley on offense... It's his lack of processing and quickness on the defensive side that limits him.
 
Still tied in losses with Memphis.

If Cavs take care of Charlotte for the regular season finale and Memphis loses to either Milwaukee or the Thunder, Cavs have home court on every team in the West besides Denver.

All solid predictions; I’m feeling Diakite could make the leader board (assuming he plays) and Neto has more assists than Rubio

Diakite leading the team with 8 or 9 rebounds (they still hadn’t credited him with a 9th at time of post) and a solid 13 points … and Neto leading the team with 8 assists. Wish I had made some prop bets

I can't see a single reason to play Wade ahead of Green.
 
Wonder if JBB would give JYD to the team instead but I would give it to Green especially he had to recover his injury this whole season and then had covid and got his best game including a nice block.
 
I've never been so glad to be 180 degrees wrong. We win by 24.

Our bench looked good on offense and defense. The offense, I'm sure, is abbetted by zero Orlando defense.

We outshot them and outdefended them. That's enough

Magic turning the tank on strong to finish the season

I often have the Magic home games on in the background. The thing is even in their losses the past couple of months the Magic have been competitive for the most part. Milwaukee blew them out and they had a bad loss in San Antonio a couple of weeks ago, but beat the Heat, Clippers and Knicks in March.

The Magic are shooting below 35% on 3 pointers, but move the ball effectively and drive well. Some of those drives dishing off lead to bad passes and more turnovers. Especially on nights the 3s aren't falling and the team presses.

I was planning on using MAGICWIN 50% discount code at Papa John's tomorrow I'll have to wait a few more days. Thanks Cavs!

Speaking of tank commanders, how about those Pistons 1-22 in their past 23? Hue would be proud.
