2023-24 Playoff Series #1 | Game #5 | Magic @ Cavs | April 30, 2024

Hoping for a win, expecting a loss.

JB is coaching for his career. Magic don't play well on the road.

 

[nolookpass]

If JA is out, I’d start Morris to be poor man’s Wade. JB will likely panic and start Niang or LeVert instead though

 

[southernflyer]

No one is giving a gut check to Morris and jogging down the other side of the court without a reminder.

 

[cavsfever]

It's odd to me that the Cavs are actually a 4.5 point favorite tonight. If I was a betting man, my money would be on the Magic.

I hope I'm wrong.

Vegas knows what they’re doing. This gives me hope

 

[Real Deal]

I'm a huge Cavs fan and hope for the best. But it's tough to stay positive after what we saw in Orlando.

Ain't time to switch up now you positive mfer

 

[jjvors]

Cavs first 'must win' game in the playoffs. If we win, we'll probably win the series. If we lose, we'll probably lose the series.

My prediction for game 5:

If 2-2, chance of victory 52%, Cavs 113-107

We'll see! I expect a Cavs bounce back game with better 3 point shooting, good enough to win.

 

[Benway]

We're winning tonight for sure, and it won't be close.

 

[Pierre Pan]

Might be getting some more playing time….

 

[bushwick_bill]

Oh boy…

 

[eChameleon]

I would sit him down. It's not worth risking his health. Or worth risking his shooting ability being weighed down by unfamiliar padding.

 

[Rich]

Biggest game in a long, long, long time for this franchise.

I'd say probably bigger than any of the FInals games that last LeBron year as that team had a 0.0% chance of winning that series and everyone knew it.

 

[Benway]

So who "elbowed" him?

Mo? Wendell?

Can we at least send a "message"?

Banchero has a cool name if you say it like the final "vincero" in Nessun Dorma.
