100%. Cleveland can shut down the paint pretty well and you can't hide Duncan with both Mitchell and Harden out there. Nightmare matchup for us. We really got the worst matchups with Orlando, then Cleveland, then Boston (if we get that far).

Pretty sure we're all doubtful about Joel Embiid at this point.

Great response in the third to put it away early. Ausar showed why you need to play him as many minutes as he can handle. Even the 28 he played tonight wasn't enough and hopefully he gets 30+ next game if he can stay out of foul trouble. He changes the game and was a +24 on the court. Next game you have to cut down the turnovers (22). Cade had 7 alone. Without that this would have been an absolute pummeling. They also shot 58% from the free throw line and 23% from three which is terrible. There's a lot of room for improvement on the offensive end in a game they won by 15 because of their defense which held Orlando to a season low 83.

He has Bell’s Palsy.

Why leave Jenkins in if you’re bringing Cade back?

Stew! What’s block. Definitely challenge that. He really has outplayed Duren in this series.

Jenkins has been bad. There’s no other way to say it. I’d actually just let Lavert or Huerter play backup PG at this point. Scratch that, just let Ausar do it.

Green and Stew as the first two subs in the 3rd. Thank you JB.

I’ll take it but that’s not a flagrant.

Beautiful. Defense to offense.

Couldn’t ask for a better way to start the half. Ausar everywhere on defense. Harris smart enough to dribble into the shots he can actually make. Cade getting to the lane and not settling.

Great start to the third.

21 to 8 free throws. Mostly flops.

5 games at most for Cleveland to beat either of these teams.

It really doesn’t.
