2023-24 Playoff Series #1 | Game #3 | Cavs @ Magic | April 25, 2024

[Rich]

I will be absolutely stunned if this team wins game 4.

I feel like I have really good feel for what this starting unit is at this point, and they're a team that's gonna get handled on Saturday.

This is why I hated trying to pick your opponents. It just showed how weak minded this team was. Win every ducking game. It’s how you build a culture and a mindset, like the Knicks. They showed they were soft and looking to make the game easier, that’s not how this works.

I think we’ll respond and win. Not sure why, but I feel like we showed grit in the first two games and we’ll be embarrassed and find that again.

At least we’re unlikely to lose by 40 again.

I honestly would bench Garland for the rest of the series. You have to send messages to those type of players. Unfortunately JBB is too soft to put his foot down

Yeah I'm sure benching our best 3 point shooter in the series is the answer we're looking for.

Also what is those types of players?

It'll be like this sometimes. He's a 1B player.

But my young, all-star PG needs to fill a void sometimes.

DG is out shooting Don in this series. Also Don doesn't get a pass for being a 1B player. He's not a 1B player for us the way that people are fawning over him. Can't have it both ways. Can't be giving him a pass saying he's a 1B player and then try and use his status to put other players down. He's either a dogg or not.

I just don't think they've got an offense that can score points. And if the Magic can just score 105 points, it's a wrap. They win.

And they'll do that at home.

DG was ass tonight more than anyone.

I would be to. It looks like they are in "finding out phase" of the series. Can easily see this going 7 which would be a toss up

 

[Jake]

We barely beat these fkrs at home and now they embarrass us there all the while we're planning for Boston. Who's kidding who?

DG is mentally weak and too passive. He doesn't take nearly enough threes and makes bone headed decisions when the game is on the line. I mean, what good is pointing out him shooting a higher percentage if he's barely taking those shots?...

 

[Phil Mixtape]

Giving the “junkyard dog” chain out after games is so hilariously ironic on this team . . .

 

[Los216]

DG was ass tonight more than anyone.

Ok and our All NBA Star player started 1-7 with no defense and was pouting the entire first half. The team goes as the star player goes. He sucked.

 

[Pierre Pan]

Funny how every single analyst, coach (JBB and Mosely) and player interviewed mentioned the offensive rebounding by the Magic in the first quarter as being the catalyst for Orlando; yet, when I stated that it was a problem 2 posters tried to minimalize said impact by excusing it due to poor Orlando shooting

DG has been our best screen setter this series. This is the most physical he's played since his jaw injury by far. Your complaint at his volume of 3's should be directed at the person running the offense. We run an offense with two Centers and an undersized SF who has only hit 1 3 pointer in the entire series btw.

Saying he's mentally weak and too passive when his shot making in game 2 is what ultimately put the game away sounds a little haterish but I digress.

 

[eChameleon]

I don't wanna hear it because that team had a competent coach. JBB is a bore.
Now, the players could very well come out fired up on Saturday. But it won't be because JBB fired them up, that's for sure.
