2023-24 Playoff Series #1 | Game #5 | Magic @ Cavs | April 30, 2024

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Whatever happens the rest of the way, I love this team and this season. I still think Orlando is the better team, but if Gary Harris' hammy keeps him out the rest of the series and Allen can go in Game 7, we have a chance, especially with Morris in for Niang. Morris is nothing special, but at least we're playing 5-on-5 when he's in.

The Cavs need to figure out some way to deal with Banchero's mid-range shot, however. He's deadly in that 15-18 foot range and you can't stop him from getting there and he's too tall for Okoro, LeVert, Strus, or Morris to effectively contest it. They may have to try and have a another player steal the ball when he's backing his man into the paint, but that opens up a 3-pointer so it's risky.

The Cavs made him work hard to get those shots and I think he got tired after scoring 39 points and missed a couple.

If he gets that hot again, he's going to be tough. But chances are he'll miss more than he did last night.
