    The “NBA TV” series has been incredible.

  2. TheAerial

    I love my team so much man. We got a lot to learn and a lot of growth ahead of us but we don’t back down from anything man. This is the kind of squad I’ve been dreaming of for damn near 10 years.

    Game 7 baby!

  3. FrancoZemonda

    after the magic lost the first 2 games i declared them dead, have to give them so much credit for going 3-0 at home and 3-0 when down in the series

  4. lopea182

    My totally, super unbiased take:

    Donovan Mitchell can’t win with these cats.

  5. Kyler1313

    All Celtics fans appreciate you Magic for the extra Porzingis rest days.

  6. ProfessorBeast55

    The Cavs backcourt had nearly three quarters of the team’s total points. I don’t think that’s a recipe for success guys.…

  7. Mitchell just scored 52% of the Cavs’ points and still lost

  8. lil_layne

    This has to be the least talked about 7 game series of all time. I thought it was because a lot of the games were on NBA TV but a game 6 on ESPN only gets 2 highlights posted in this sub for the WHOLE game. The game thread didn’t even crack 5k comments (NY vs PHI game 6 had 18k comments for comparison). This game was great and had a player drop 50 points but most of this sub doesn’t care because it’s between two small market teams that have less popular players.

  9. KarchunToo

    Despite Donovan Mitchell’s best efforts, I don’t think you can win a basketball game with 4 decoys on the floor

  10. Donovan was on that LeBron 2007 pistons 4th quarter shit, but even LeBron needed a few points from boobie

  11. EutaxySpy

    Donovan Mitchell scored more points than all of his teammates combined lmao

  12. k_____dot

    Donovan Mitchell: 50 pts (22-36), 18 in the 4th

    Rest of Cavs: 46 pts (20-49) , 0 in the 4th

    Insane effort from Spida Mitchell but wtf Cavs. Orlando has a very fun team and has held the Cavs to under 100 pts 5/6 games. Excited for game 7 as a neutral

  13. The Orlando Magic force a Game 7 against the Cleveland Donovans!

  14. ProskXCX

    Garland’s careless 4th quarter turnovers kill me. Been a problem all year

  15. YourAsianBuddy

    Holy shit Donovan Mitchell with a 50 piece and they still lost. Utah days never left

  16. teddyjj399

    So funny how many people were certain this series was over after game 2. Hell even after game one you had mfs acting like Orlando was dead in their grave

  17. Beermen69

    Why does Bickerstaff still coaching the Cavs?

  18. Encaitar

    Darius Garland’s late-game turnovers cost them the game.

  19. Jack_M_Steel

    Mitchell did not want to lose

    Banchero looking like a beast

  20. DaviQS007

    Fourth quarter scoring:

    Magic: 27
    Donovan Mitchell: 18

    Rest of Cavs team: 0

    What an awful offensive performance

  21. kimoalmoa

    GAME 7 BABY!!

    No matter what happens next, so proud of this team!

  22. has been super entertaining series. game 7 is going to be awesome

  23. BruceBrownMVP

    Feel like I really deprived myself by not watching Orlando more this year.

    Had absolutely no idea Suggs was that good.

  24. CakeBossUltimate

    Held Cavs to under 100 points in all but one game in this series.

    We can pull this off

  25. iAgressivelyFistBro

    How do I order some of Frank’s gay services?

  26. fordangliacanfly

    Great game by a young Magic team. They had their back against it with Mitchell just going total hitman on them and yet somehow survived.

    Garland had some unfortunate miscues at the end. As great as Mitchell was there was no flow to their offense by the end and everyone else looked like they just wanted to get out of the way.

  27. IntentApparel

    Knicks and Magic good? Feel like I’m a kid again. Love seeing Orlando’s arena packed.

  28. koticgood

    If the Cavs go on to win game 7, this will be the most home court dominated series that I can ever remember watching.

    I like the Cavs, but I’ll be rooting for the Magic. Cavs aren’t old, but I like the youth movement of TWolves/Thunder/Magic.

  29. BlackSquirrelMed

    What JB Bickerstaff has done to Mobley’s offensive development needs studied by The Hague

  30. Yeastyboy104

    All 57 Magic flairs get in here! Game 7!

  31. justsomebro10

    The bad news is that if the Cavs lose the next game the season ends in tremendous disappointment. The other bad news is that if they win the next game I have to watch these bums for at least four more games.
