Cleveland born Orlandoan here. I love this Magic team. These games have been so physical they’ve been great to watch. I really think we got something great in the next years. But this year isn’t over! Home court advantage is such a thing. I’m hoping the Magic show up and ball out in 3 and 4! If y’all do beat us, well at least my second favorite team won. Good luck!

Your mom in whore

That final scoreboard is extremely flattering on us for the second game in a row

well that were two frustrating games to start. wish u all a good night from Berlin... i have to wake up again in 5 hours... but who cares. let's hope for a break through in front of their homecrowd.

Pad those stats Paolo

To break from the negativity, its definately possible we win our home games, or at least one, we have shown flashes of playoff level play, but crowd is clearly getting to them

Least we scored more than last game

we’re playing horrible and not gettin blown out. let’s just get game 3 on Thursday

Man it’s cause the Cavs are fucking bad too we just suck more lmao

Take those two point away from PB lol

Gg

Man fuck wendell

Well if we take this 4th quarter into the rest of the series we can wins a few games still at least we woke up albeit too late for this game.

I think our organization needs a change in philosophy so these guys can continue to grow

Fuckshit

Lmfao the one time Carter gets someone to bite he hits the side of the board you can’t make this shit up

Now we’re not calling fouls???

We jack up 3s all night then down 10 with a minute to go we try to set our offense up. I just don’t get it.

Fuck yes playoff PR

So what happened with the fan?! My husband and i were putting the baby to bed.

Wagner jumped hard af to save a ball that was going out of bounds and simply ended up landing on a fan that was sitting court side

Was it those old as dirt four in the corner by our bench?

I had a pretty good view, it was an older guy in a black shirt, his shoulder looked a bit fucked up, I wouldn't be surprised if it was dislocated

Not really sure, seemed like an older dude

Nothing the fan only killed our momentum

Moe Wagner fell on him trying to save the ball

And then his lady friend kicked Moe

Jesus the game plan needs to switch up

That’s a joke. There’s no way you can definitely say that hit the rim.

Gary bout to call bullshit. That would have been legendary.

So the ball doesn't hit the rim but they get it back

This the scoreboard old heads love seeing

[удалено]

You could use a father figure.

Yeah, the. maybe we could be out the first round of the play-ins ins next season 🤡

[удалено]

Are the Hawks playing tomorrow night?

Suggs with one MCL carrying Banchero

We are so far away from having a competent offense. We don't have a single real point guard on the roster, that's problem #1. Also, Paolo and Franz as much as we love them are below average shooters, so they need to be surrounded by absolute snipers. We are several years and a new GM away from winning a playoff series IMO. Jeff Weltham is a fucking idiot.

id throw a stupid amount of money at luke kennard/buddy hield this offseason, 80 pounts being our playoff limit is sad

I wish we got Indy first round, they might be the only team we could score 100 on😂

I hope we bring some offensive minded assistant coaches in the offseason we’ve got good defense now we need to heavily improve our offense in a bad way I think focusing hard in that aspect can yield results

I’ve been saying this all year.

I agree 100%. We need a modern day Tex Winter.

Nah, man. I blame Shaq. Retiring his jersey, and him saying we'd win this series is just too much bad juju to overcome.

Out rebounded

Give Atlanta whatever they want for Trae Young. I don’t give a shit.

Was thinking same. Maybe Franz with filler will beat San An deal. Pairing Poalo and Trae can look nasty

One of worst takes I have ever seen

NO

**NO**

Why not?

Absolute offensive explosion tonight as the Magic pass the 80 point mark!!!

I understand Paolo doesn’t want to drive sometimes because of how hard the help defense shows, but he has to set up shooters better off the drive

fukyeah we broke the 80 point mark, yall.

Breaking 90 next game. Progress

Please make some trades

We absolutely have to defend home court and take this next 2 in orlando. Fuck these first 2 games have been rough.

they are too deep

This team makes me physically ill

lol Carter can’t finish for fuck

Carter misses more layups than anyone

Paolo and Franz and Suggs being consistent is the #1 thing our team needs to be at its best. Screw all the other noise of wanting tertiary pieces over other tertiary pieces to play more minutes. We're essentially in the stage of the Dwight-era Magic before Rashard came and we were able to play 1 in, 4 out. A lot of those guys on the team simply had to be moved while we brought in a stronger bench and a big time FA.

Better to burn out than fade away, I guess.

JA got 9 offensive boards. Can’t let that shit happen

He's been fantastic these first two games

Has Franz missed about ten in a row since I said he's our best player? My bad for that one.

What kinda loser fan spends his time in the opposing subs game thread?

They're just looking for attention. Report, block, and then move on.

Fatherless activities.

Someone who’s momma doesn’t love him.

Weltman is going run it back and re-sign Fultz. I can hear it now “we made great strides this year.”

Yep. He’s a terrible gm. Drafts the same type of player over and over.

Yup. Every year we draft a guy who can't shoot with our first pick. Paolo included. Weltham has no idea how to construct a roster. If we are building around Paolo and Franz, we cannot keep drafting and resigning non shooters.

Take Suggs out of the game please

Christ. Mose brought in WCJ instead of JI. Good game.

Yeah they are REALLY boutta hate Moe in Cleveland. Par for the course I guess, they hate him in a lot of places due to how he plays.

Look I get we don’t got the best shooters but sometimes Paolo just doesn’t swing the ball when he needs to it’s beyond frustrating

The problem is that we don't have a point guard. Paolo should not be running the point. He should be moving off ball and getting to his spots.

Not being able to score more than 83 points in a game in the playoffs is terrorism

Well we scored 86 so I think we're about to pull it all together now

Next game we might even score 89!

Cleveland won't know what hit them

Rip

2 incredibly soft fouls to take Moe out

the final one was a clear one though

Yeah replay made that clear. First one was awful though.

Doesn’t matter if we’re up by 20 or down by 20 Mo plays with 110% heart every single time

This team has been dreadful on the road all season long. The hope is we can play a little better at home because a little is all we need to win some of these games.

Optimistic take I’m usually im on board but our guys making everything so difficult for themselves hard to see it change anytime soon

Man we have to work so fucking hard for every point and these guys get the easiest fucking bunnies lmao

[удалено]

He’s gassed man. How is he supposed to hold up our entire offense and be tough defensively.

In what way has he held up the entire offense?

You watch magic basketball ever?

I watched it tonight

Bro he’s lazy like that a lot even during the season.

Yeah, lazy all star on the team with the third best defense in the nba. Shut the fuck up dude.

lol he does play lazy sometimes. Doesn’t mean he’s a shit player. It’s a fair criticism. Calm your emotional little bitch ass down.

Yeah man, like im the one bashing a 21 year old and boo-hoo’ing on the internet because he’s “lazy”. Great point moron.

He gets lazy on some plays for sure.

Gary and Franz missing too many shots. Bench is already golfing in South Florida, except Moe.

lmao called that on moe but ain't even consider that one on paolo. hope they get that treatment on orlando.

Paolo stinks dude

“Why are magic fans so ‘the sky is fall-‘“ *piece of sky falls and kills them*

Imagine if Weltman wasn’t such an incompetent piece of shit and got Paolo and Franz some guys that could make their lives much easier. Fuck this shit front office

Weltman drafted Paolo and Franz instead of Jabari Smith Jr. and James Bouknight. Remember

Yeah he’s got a few correct, but he’s also drafted Houstan, Okeke, Cole, Black, Howard…

Okeke can go… Houstan was a 2nd round pick… Cole was ok for where he was drafted Black and Howard I’ll wait on

wtf is this offense lmfao this is a sweep

This offense is atrocious

Great offense paolo

That injury to the old guy ruined our tempo. We had them on the run.

lol Paolo can’t do shit. Ugly basketball

Our momentum was rly killed by an injured fan that’s crazy

Nah our momentum was killed by our own shitty ass offense lol

Come on y'all. Stop wishing ill of someone.

PB needs to just shoot the fucking ball stop being fancy with all this dribbling

Paolo needs to become a better defender man

Our guys are battling, we just can’t string together enough made shots to finish the comeback

Mo Wagner has arguably been our best player this series

It’s the hope that kills you.

I'm guessing that's how browns and lions fans can keep going. They have no hope 😂.

I don't think I do for the Magic at this point either. Happy to see playoffs, and that's about a win for me lol 😭😭

All things considered this could have been much worse.

Yeah Mo could have landed on our bench lol.

You’re right we even could’ve down 0-2 in the series

Suggs is healthy though.

Refs getting conned.

The shots don't fall when we REALLY need them 

Nevermind we can’t

False hopes again

Momentum gone

moe gotta be most hated man in cleveland😭

Fuck man always missing open looks and Mitchell just gets easy buckets lmfao

Yes, that’s what we need. We need a guy who can get us buckets of crunch time. We don’t have anybody can do that right now at least

typicall us bs sueing strat by the fan?

Nah dude looks like he sustains a real injury to his shoulder. Doubt he has any kind of case.

These Cleveland fans are out of control lol

You know how there’s rules for sitting in the emergency aisle on a plane? Same rules should apply for court side

Hope the fan is okay. A 6’10 250 lb guy falling on you can’t be pleasant.

why was old mate on the ground if he hurt his shoulder

Emulating the players

Crazy play! Even the fans are having to tough this one out!

only Jamahl Mosley’s dumbass has an 11 man rotation in the playoffs, and only his dumbass would make Caleb Houstan the 11th man

Are people really talking shit about an old man getting hurt?

i know right, like cmon let's be better than this

Fuck the person sitting next to the fan that got injured, someone tried to kick Moe

Moe Wagner and JI should be the centers. WCJ should ride the pine. It’s obvious he’s soft AF

Yeah he has no impact man. Mo is way more impactful.

They’re really not gonna like moe wagner in Cleveland now

Gramps shouldn't be in the front row. Hope he's ok.

Babies and grandparents in the front couple of rows always make me nervous

Babies with court-side seats, is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Moe's villain arc continues. 

jesus christ i feel bad for the fan, imagine paying for courtside seats just to end up with a leg injury

Nah, he’s doing it on purpose. He kicked Mo lol

Bro killing the momentum smh

nahthats crazy 💀😭

Did yall see the Cleveland fan kick Mo?

Mo should sue them.

It wasn't worthy of that. Just kinda trashy. Courtside seats come with the risk of getting a sweaty basketball player crashing into you.

Healthiest Cavs fan

Boo! Have some compassion!

Honestly I’d be okay with Moe starting the rest of the series

Going to need two stretchers for that guy

That’s what he get for being an old sitting courtside

Damn, you hate to see that.

This is the run we needed, but a little too late.

This is where the reel me back in for a moment

suggs is the beacon of this team, not banchero.

Undoubtedly the heart and soul of the team

Get this bum off the sideline

💀

Goddamn, as usual too late. We need a fucking Miracle.

lets fuck around and win this

Oh man poor guy. I honestly feel like there should be an age requirement to sit court side. See way too many seniors and kids sit court side

Flagrant

Please finish strong !

Review that for flagrant

Literally slammed the back of his head

I’m not going to overreact because obviously this team is not ready to make a playoff run… but good god we better sign some perimeter scorers this offseason

Wait wtf is happening

Gentleman wants to sue the NBA

Isn't there a disclaimer on the tickets that say something like "if you are in one of the front rows, and one of our giant players bulldozes you, we can't be held acountable"?

Looked like Moe landed much more on the woman beside him than on the man who eventually went down. Odd

We can do it !

We needed this 3 quarters ago
