This playoff series is probably the best in the series after clippers vs Mavs and yet it’s probably the most underrated one out of every matchup we’ve seen so far

[@urbaindelva7869]

The Magic are not allowing their inexperience to throw them off in this series. Banchero was on fire all night, but the Magic went to the well too many times with Banchero hero ball. Wagner needs to shoot better. It felt like whenever he couldn't drive into the lane, he couldn't really score. Also, Garland should be facilitating the offense instead of Mitchell in crunch time. He is the actual POINT guard, Mitchell is the SHOOTING guard. Mobley came up clutch in the absence of Allen. Neither team has won a road game yet. We'll see if that continues in Game 5.

Paolo is so special man, and the NBA basically ignores him.

@@3stepsgaming188 Franz leads the Magic in assists and rebounds, and turns the ball over 1.6 times per game. Paolo commits 5 turnovers per game. And Franz is 3rd in scoring out of both teams in the series. If he's passive off the ball, then the others just need to step up. Franz is an elite defender.
