Magic shooting 32% from the floor, 13% from 3 at halftime

[Sudanese Sensation]

I told Artman a million times their lack of shooting ability would limit their ceiling.

He claimed the Magic were an elite offense.

This year was custom-made for them to get to the second round of the playoffs. If they don't even do that it's arguably the biggest failure in NBA history.

How many games do think this series goes and who do you think will emerge the victors?

Joking aside, I picked Cavs in 7 both here and on ESPN.

It would be pretty funny if I lost either of those contests because I was too generous to the Magic.

ESPN has a board?

[Bush4Ever.]

The ESPN prediction contest they run for the playoffs.

I actually think there are a lot of good series this year within the first round, more so than most years.

The only series I think are squash matches are the Celtics and Thunder and potentially Denver.

Everything else could be interesting

[Havlicekstealsit]

I'll give the Magic credit at least they didn't get straight emasculated like the Suns are to the Wolves rn. "Big 3", lol

[Wishbone]

Frank Wagner isn't going to cut it. This was bad basketball. I feel ripped off.

[Da Stars.]

Probably the refs fault though.

There actually is some very clear home cooking

33% from the field. Missed 11 free throws. Got outrebounded by 14.

Like English football, they should be regulated

Game 1....
Relax rookies.
The defense was good. Offense will be better.
It's literally nothing the cavs did. Magic hurt themselves.

It's not like the Magic have 2 or 3 hall of famers on the roster and get blown out like certain teams did. It's their first playoff game. Grow up

Obsessed losers

Imagine being so dumb to think 1 game determine the series.
Magic won game 1 vs raptors and bucks when those teams won the finals. Were you also counting those teams out based on game 1 performances too?

A week off makes players and teams rusty and shots don't go in.

So many fairweather nba fans here and some who claim they don't watch or follow but all of a sudden they act like they have a clue..they don't

Lakers owned

[elartman1973]

Magic shot badly due to rust and butterflies and it still was anybodies game until the last two minutes..
The guards wont go 0-17 again and they wont shoot that bad from free throw line again.
Cavs are in trouble. They better win tomorrow or they will likely be coming home down 1-3.. they have likely played their best game of the series and the magic their worst


Seems like some of you have never watched basketball or the playoffs before.


Nuggets were toying with the lakers

[Alex_Murphy]

Panic posting = triggered fat bitch

Hold this L puto

[elartman1973]

Leoss thinks his lakers won...Holy shit.
It's not even credible as a moral victory

[Bush4Ever.]

Imagine being so dumb to think 1 game determine the series.

I don't think that, but let's be very clear:

If the Magic lose in the first round, it's the biggest failure in NBA history.

It will signify they haven't advanced in five years

Which players do you think need to step up for the Magic to reverse their fortunes?

[Bush4Ever.]

Which players do you think need to step up for the Magic to reverse their fortunes?

They simply need to be more offensively efficient.

Paolo and Franz suck up 33 shots with below-average efficiency.

That simply puts a hard cap on your ceiling.

If Paolo and Franz upgrade a tier on the superstar list, they could do some interesting things.

They have some good sides...now they just need the big juicy steak.

Limit Turnovers
Nake free throws
More ball movement
Make shots they normally make

Cavs got hot early then the game was even.
That cushion was the difference.
Was still winnable with a couple minutes remaing
Haters jerking off over nothing

The game was never even. Cavs jumped out to a 6-0 lead and never trailed/tied.
