[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...wtf happened to the Cavs today??
They looked more like the old Cadavs from back in the day.

Home court is a thing for real

Magic have been like night and day different home and road this year.

Will Orlando take a lead in any game this series?

uh....yes.

 

[dtgold88]

well that was a rough one but truth be told would rather lose like this than a heartbreaker. Lose game 4 like this though and that's a major issue.

You can't lose to a young team like by 40 in a playoff game, plain and simple. Luckily I couldn't watch this game bc I was at a draft party. Just embarrassing, they haven't shot well all series. This could be a game that ruins their series or just one game but it can't happen. Even if the Cavs move on in the playoffs, this one could haunt Bickerstaff. This kind of loss just truly shows how many weaknesses this team really does have

I'm not sure why you even say this but no I don't agree. You lose a close game, it sucks but you fought hard and played well. This was just an embarrassing loss and it shows there are more than just minor issues. Teams going forward can look at this film and exploit the Cavs. You can't really do that in a close game. Good or great teams don't get blown out by inexperienced team like this in the playoffs.

This is so embarrassing

I believe the Warriors lost by like 40 in a playoff game during their 2022 title run. NBA is like baseball that way, sometimes one team just has it and the other doesn’t. Every game is its own story

True...in game 1 of the 1985 finals the Celtics beat the Lakers 148-114...the Lakers went on to win the series 4-2.

Can't happen but it does.....I don't get worked up over margin and a loss all that matters to me. I think good chance JB gone if we lose the series and stays if we win. One game wont decide it.

I don't say this to rip the Cs but I'd say losing to a depleted Miami team at home worse than losing on road to full strength Orlando. Lose game 4? OK, might be a different story.

Good or great teams get blown out all the time in the playoffs. Didn't we lose then win by 30+ in consecutive Final's games with GS?

If you are exploiting the Cavs by telling their team to stop missing shots and hoping we miss them again I guess they could try that.

Oh...reason I prefer this type of loss is I accept defeat early. I lose sleep after heartbreakers in big games.

Didn't they beat us by 30-40 then lose to us the next game in the 2016 Finals?
