First Half: 0 Blocks, 0 Steals Second Half: 5 Steals, 8 Blocks Cade had 1 block and 4 steals. Ausar had 4 blocks and 1 steal. Reed had 3 blocks. That's the game right there. I also want to give some kudos to Tobias in this series so far. No, he can't hit a three, but he's doing everything else he can trying to be the second scorer on this team because nobody else can/will. Without him this is already over.

Just like Banchero's shot near the end of Game 3(?). This time it was good luck for us. Cleveland will win at home, but at least they aren't sitting around waiting in case we actually make it to the second round.

The end of this Cleveland/Toronto game is nuts right now.

They just posted a stat on the Houston game that they’re +33 with Amen on the court and -28 with him off. Unlike JB who forgets about Ausar, Udoka has only sat Amen 25 minutes in the whole series.

Did Lavert get hurt?

My mind is still blown. What a game. What a comeback. Cade and Ausar are the future of this team.

Ausar needs to play 48 minutes on Sunday.

This game is costing me years of my life.

How did Stew lose his spot? Reed should have been playing for Duren.

So many chances with a 4 pt lead but we can’t close the gap.

I love Reed. But he should never dribble.

Good third quarter. Now do it again. Ausar doesn’t get to sit down.

What a pass by Reed. Can’t believe he blew that.

That was the last punch. Orlando survived it.

Why Jenkins?!? You see what got you back in this. It’s defense. Get Javonte or Holland or Stew in there. Moron!

Forced 5 turnovers already in the 3rd. You need this level of defense for the rest of the game and maybe, maybe, you have a small chance.

Maddening that they could have been playing this hard all game.

At least it looks like they’re trying this quarter. But they’re not good enough on offense to come back from this.

Ausar has 1 steal and 1 block. He just got both of them. Thats the total number of steals and blocks we have. We got ZERO in the first half. The only way this teams wins is by wining the possession battle. That’s been true all year. That hasn’t been happening. The players aren’t doing it and the coach hasn’t helped with his lineups.

So you expect him to average 45 points in this series? He has 2 pts less than Paulo and he has no help at all. Oh, and just came off a collapsed lung playing 40+ minutes in this series. I’d be tired too.

How many times does Orlando pickpocket from behind before we realize they’re going to do that?

They’re showing bodies to prevent him from doing anything easy.

Same way Drummond always got shut down by basic Centers. Secret weapon: simple box out.

Have they missed this quarter?

Silver lining. Duren has shown what he is. A role player. Make sure you don’t pay him more than that.
