The Orlando Magic lost Game 2 in Cleveland 96-86. Cavs hold a 2-0 series lead. Both losses had similar problems: bad first quarter starts, bad 3-point shooting, not enough guard scoring contributions, some shaky coaching player rotation choices, our guards leaving our bigs hanging out to dry defending the paint, and not being able to score enough in the paint or rebound. And yet both games Orlando still could’ve won. Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen have been outstanding. On top of all of this, there are Cavs fans on social media and also inside RocketMortgage Fieldhouse calling the Wagner brothers Nazis. 

In no world is that OK or acceptable. One Cleveland fan got kicked out for spewing insults in Franz Wagner’s face, but it’s more than just one person doing the same. Basketball karma is going to come for Cleveland, it may or may not be the Magic that delivers it, but it’s going to hit something fierce. 

We’re back home in Orlando with 2 full days off to prepare for a massive Game 3 Thursday night. The series starts now with taking care of our home floor. Our team is going to need loud and energetic support. Discussing what happened in Game 2, and what adjustments should and need to be made moving forward. Jamahl Mosley is officially a finalist for NBA 2023-2024 Coach of the Year. The entertainment complex might finally be happening.

All of that and more!
