Yeah I didn't even know and weathered that crap. I will say, why can't they offer a feed that has no announcing? Those first couple minutes on espn were greatI just switched to Bally…wish I had known earlier
I was wondering the same thing. I would have thought once they were in the playoffs, the blackouts would be over.NBA playoff game on NBA TV and they black it out for the local market? That makes zero sense.
Not offered on YouTube tvIt is on Bally
Agree. The Magic just don’t have enough scorers and don’t look ready for this. I’m sure they will make it hard on the Cavs in Orlando, though.Largely in comfortable control tonight all the way through.
Starting to think there's a good chance of getting a split on the road, and this series ending in game 5 in Cleveland. Cavs just more talented and experienced.
Haliburton went 12thIn terms of draft picks, Koby has been pretty solid IMO. Respective to draft position and draft class.
Okoro is the easiest to about, but if you go back and look at his draft nobody of any real impact went in the next handful of picks after him. Six picks later Vassell (sp. ?) went, and to this point he's just been a solid scorer for really bad Spurs teams.
Biggest missed opportunity was in 2018. Sexton was a solid pick at #8, but that draft was very deep. There were as many as four players in the next six picks that have probably been better than him to this point. An All-NBA player and MVP contender in Gilgeous-Alexander went three picks later. I'd much rather have SGA now than have Mitchell.
Mobley is solidI will go on record saying this was not JB’s call…this came from the front office/owner and he just played foot soldier. This from a front office that lives and dies with awful draft pics…Bennett, Waiters and the 5’7 dude from Oakland…TT, a serviceable player but not a lottery pick, Joe Harris? We kept him in the G league..in Brooklyn he was a knockdown 45% shooter, Sexton, Mobley…while other teams are drafting European players who are ready day 1…..we lived and died with LBJ..now we live and die with Mitchell…we are stuck…no draft capital…and Mitchell maybe walking…it isn’t all coaching..it is front office.
Okoro has increased his value with his improved outside shot.In terms of draft picks, Koby has been pretty solid IMO. Respective to draft position and draft class.

And this series has two 1 o'clock starts...Man..a 1 o’clock game on a Saturday is tough…hard to stay inside on a 65 degree beautiful day down here in Cincy. Still confused about what the league was thinking with the schedule? I will tune in but can’t watch for 2.5 hours straight…
Or it could be playoffs was the expectation for the Cavs, no one expected 17-6 from the Tribe.Here we are, a few hours away from the playoffs and there has been no real activity in this thread all week…which mirrors the lack of public enthusiasm in the Cleveland area this week. Could the tanking of the game last Sunday really have done that much damage, or does the public just not believe in this team? I feel like if the Cavs win Game 1 the series will take over the attention of the public in NEO. Right now I hear more buzz about the Guardians and they are only 20 games into a 162 game season.
38 rebounds in 2 games will go a long way to shedding the soft label. Speaking of rebounding Strus has been a force as well.The guys aren't in awe this time. Okoro is earning an extension. Allen is out to prove a point. And DM is the engine. Really want him to be here long term, hand him the keys, ask him who else he wants
Could be a gnat and would make same movesSo who will be the interim coach once Bickerstaff is fired before game 4?
