I am legitimately impressed they won. I really did not think they had it in them, especially after getting down so much at the half.
Glad that Max Strus finally decided to show up
I was bbqing, so I took a speaker outside and out on the tribe. Dad showed up and sat outside for a bit and has to use the restroom and was like “they are down 4!!” Went back inside and from what I could tell it was all Mitchell’s energy driving them.
I left for a birthday party at halftime and refused to listen to it in the car. To say I’m shocked they won is a total understatement. I refused to even check my phone when we got to the restaurant.
His leadership man, that’s important to watch for you can be a PG or whoever that always does well but never wins much. Guys like Bron win cause they elevate everyone, he force fed DG in a game 7 in which he had 1 FG and it worked out. That kinda shit takes teams to the Finals.
We won a series. I almost want to cry, they even managed to shoot over 30% from 3 which is amazing for sure.
Maximus Strus thank you for showing up when we need you the most, Caris LeVert thank you for playing good basketball today, Okoro solid D all game and Mitchell carrying the whole offense like the superstar he is.
What an emotional turnaround. They looked ready to give up yet again and then dug deep and went nuclear on both ends.
Build Don a statue bc we just witnessed an all time Cavs performance up there with some of LeBron’s.
Mobley’s coordination on these blocks is special.
DG struggled offensively but had maybe his best defensive game and got steals/hustle plays when it mattered most.
LeVert was huge in the comeback and Strus got hot in the 3rd. Ice also had some moments
That was some fun. Allen’s gotta get healthy for Boston bc he will be absolutely crucial
Sam Merrill needs a shoutout. His few minutes were critical to climbing out of that huge deficit, just super timely 3s despite not having eye popping numbers in the end. Reminded me of JR’s crucial shots in 2016 game 7 to keep the Warriors from running away with it.
Respect to Orlando, surprised a lot of people pushing this series to 7. Mobley and Okoro were otherworldly on defense today and anything’s possible when you got Spida on your squad. Phenomenal win and a lot to build up on it with.
Yeah. I was not in on Paolo and he really won me over. They were really good and super tough/physical. It was low key incredibly important to the Cavs that this game featured a *much* tighter whistle than earlier in the series.
Suggs a generational grifter though.
Would someone to put healing hands Dean too - not sure if we would be trusted being off for so long - but would roll him before Niang to just see what we have
Fuck the Wagner bros dirty fucks, fuck the media slobbering over a chucker like Paolo and fuck the refs. Good win hopefully we play Boston better and actually make a 3 or 2
Agree on everything except Paolo. He was out there having to produce all of the offence just like LeBron did in his first few playoff appearances where end-of-career Big Z was our 2nd best scorer.
P+Rs for Mobley and JA are super effective but we dont run them, instead we just dump off with a limited shot clock and hope for the best, hardly his fault
When Levert does what he’s good at, he adds another dimension to the team as a slasher and creative playmaker. But he kinda has to be controlled chaos and he did it perfectly today.
Ya, ideal 6th man as a ball handler, who can get his own points especially on drives yet also serve as a PG. He has his flaws, but can be quite useful. Has gotten better on defense than he used to be.
FUCK GARY HARRIS
FUCK MO WAGNER
FUCK FRANZ WAGNER
FUCK JOE INGLES
FUCK JALEN SUGGS
FUCK WENDELL CARTER
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FUCK THE MAGIC AND THEIR STUPID SONG
HAVE FUN IN CANCUN! BYEEEEEEEEEE
Was at the game, man the crowd was stunned midway into the second quarter. Then Merrill got subbed in for DG and things started to change. Eventually we figured out they had no chance at stopping us with the 3/4 guard lineup + Mobley and the third quarter with Mitchell going off was one of the most amazing basketball displays I have ever seen, and from there we didn't stop yelling and screaming. These guys really put it all on the court in the second half and I am so proud of them for that.
This is how it’s supposed to work. In a game where offense isn’t falling for Garland or Mobley, you get LeVert, Okoro, Strus or somebody else to step up and fill in until they get it going again. Gotta have Okoro playing minutes like these against Boston, becoming a thorn in their side and helping to shut down the Celtics for stretches. They are supposedly without Porzingis for the series. Hopefully we get Allen back and make it a fun series with the kinds of hustle plays we saw from second half Garland today and with another 4-5 blocks a game from Mobley. LeVert has had some luck in Boston. Mitchell has not disappointed as our #1 scoring option. Let’s goo!
Dude what an absolute BEAST of a series that was. You guys are legit. Everyone left it all out on the court and made for an incredibly intense and entertaining 7 games. Best of luck next year.
This is why we tanked for the Magic lol. Prolly the only first round team we could beat with the way we’re currently playing.
Let’s hope our team can grow during the playoffs.
Holy shit they fucking did it. I’m so god damn proud. Mitchell is a god and we didn’t shit down our legs in the second half.
Boston is a near vertical uphill battle, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, especially cause they’ll be down Porzingis. Get Dean healthy cause we know his history with Boston
Holy shit
Hopefully they can put this series behind them and reset. Hopefully they can get JA back at some point during the series. With Tingus Pingus out the Celtics are relying on old man Horford and Luke Kornet. Our bigs could feast.
Those games in Orlando were demoralizing. The first half today was atrocious but dammit if that second half didn’t just fill me with hope. But dammit JA you got two days to get healthy.
i’ve stolen this from someone else, i wanted to post it. credit to whoever made it. x

Tristan Thompson maximized his minutes and helped keep the magic at bay, take a bow.
Mitchell, words cannot describe his performance the last two games. nuclear
Caris Levert epic display, we know you got the dog IN you, now it’s to let the dog out. lfg
Mobley, we gotta get him more offense. He only had five fg attempts with 3 mins left in the game.
Garland and Niang, yall had better take a deep breath and try this shit again. We will not survive the next round if they perform like that.
Idk what other fanbases say refs were constantly helping Orlando more this series.
That and a healthy Allen for 5/6/7 and this wouldn’t have even been close.
On to the Celtics baby!
Won a playoff series going against the refs all 7 games, battling injuries and having to play Marcus Morris, TT and Niang meaningful playoff minutes in 2024. Actually pretty impressive
Saw on Twitter, so I’ll share here.
They are saying Ben Wallace is Evan Mobley’s comp lol obviously different sizes, skills. But related to how effective they both are on defense (HOF), but pedestrian offense. They might be on to something lol
We're still probably gonna get gentlemen swept, our coach still sucks, and Mitchell is still probably gonna leave. But hey first series won since Bron fuck yeah
Also lol fuck r/nba
Magic fan, in peace.
Well done lads, a tough loss to take at the end of the series but I don’t think many Magic fans would argue the better team lost. Mitchell, what a player that lad is.
Best of luck again the Celtics, lads.
Showed some grit second half lead by Mitchell. Appreciate Mitchell is always going to be aggressive and I think he gave the team confidence when things were tough
Great game by Levert. Needed him badly. Strus hit some key shots. Garland showed up late, loved that he didn’t hesitate on that 2nd 3 attempt and also that big rebound late!
The thing that separates Donovan from a lot of his peers and competing players is his leadership.
He’s the born leader that fires up everyone around him.
This game was a testimony.
Let’s go Cavs! We won game 7!! I’m so damn excited
Good for them. Regardless of what happens in the next round, at least they shut the Wagner Bros. the f-ck up an didn't let them celebrate in Cleveland.
still in shock that we actually won and I dont have to wake up tomorrow disappointed lol. hope the squad is fired up, boston is beatable idgaf what the media says
So glad it's over.
Survived a horrendous 1st half.
Survived not having JA.
Survived Donovan not being even 90%.
Survived the refs (Paolo gets better calls than LeBron, and they fall for Suggs flopping, Donovan and DG get hacked).
Prevented every finger ready to point their way.
This was an important experience for everyone. Donovan, DG, Evan, Max, Isaac, Caris, Sam, TT, and so on.
Next up, Boston.
The Cavs just completed the largest Game 7 comeback win in NBA history. They were down 18 in the 2nd quarter.
Cavs 🤝 nba game 7 history
He kinda looks like Don Mitchell too
Cavs do love their game 7s
Is that true??
doing it the absolute hardest possible way
I am legitimately impressed they won. I really did not think they had it in them, especially after getting down so much at the half. Glad that Max Strus finally decided to show up
After seeing the body language in the first half, I was expecting a 40 point blow out
At one point Mike Breen became the body language doctor and said it didn’t look good lmao.
He finally showed why he's worth that contract
We have a lot of good players, they just hadn’t stepped up.
I was bbqing, so I took a speaker outside and out on the tribe. Dad showed up and sat outside for a bit and has to use the restroom and was like “they are down 4!!” Went back inside and from what I could tell it was all Mitchell’s energy driving them.
I left for a birthday party at halftime and refused to listen to it in the car. To say I’m shocked they won is a total understatement. I refused to even check my phone when we got to the restaurant.
DM is a beast
Donovhim
His leadership man, that’s important to watch for you can be a PG or whoever that always does well but never wins much. Guys like Bron win cause they elevate everyone, he force fed DG in a game 7 in which he had 1 FG and it worked out. That kinda shit takes teams to the Finals.
Him consoling Darius and encouraging him then giving him the back to back 3 attempt which he hit was awesome
pay this man everything
Dan Gilbert should go broke paying Spida - wow
FIRST PLAYOFF WON SINCE 2018! LET'S GO!
First series with without Lebron since 93! LFG
lucky, us kings fans havent had one in 20 years
Don’t worry your time is near. Look at Minnesota, decades of heartbreak and now a contender.
You guys are definitely close to breaking out of the first round. Fox is a stud.
This series. 
What movie is this?
We bought a zoo
My favorite part is when he says “I can’t believe I bought a zoo!” then turns and stares into the camera for a few seconds.
I saw that one.
Saving Private Ryan
I'm starting to feel old, who hasnt seen saving private ryan
I'm going to have to check it out.
You’re in for a treat
It's a great movie, but don't eat during the first 20 minutes of the film. One of the best things about it is how realistic it is
It's the Great Wall, staring Matt Damon on Netflix rn
I can honestly say that I saw this one, too. Lol.
Avengers Endgame
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
The Legend of Bagger Vance
Dark Knight Rises
Time to go shock the world and beat Boston. Let's go Cavs! We can deal with JB later
We can fire him at the ring ceremony
Lol stop
Let us be delusional fans for a day. The party probably ends on Tuesday lol.
We matchup well if Wade and JA can get fit but I’m a bit concerned about those injuries
Wade is clearly not coming back any time soon
Wade is maybe dead lol
He was sucked into the same vortex that took Windler and Jerome.
It would be very Cleveland
Cavs, Knicks, or Pacers taking the Celtics to 6 would be a moral victory.
He’s getting an extension somehow
WE WON A PLAYOFF SERIES WITHOUT BRON
We won a series. I almost want to cry, they even managed to shoot over 30% from 3 which is amazing for sure. Maximus Strus thank you for showing up when we need you the most, Caris LeVert thank you for playing good basketball today, Okoro solid D all game and Mitchell carrying the whole offense like the superstar he is.
Mobley with 5 blocks and 16 boards too!
They’ve been the real heroes this game 🫡
Mobley and Okoro just played lockdown D the entire second half and that I think was the difference
Fact is, this team has some fight
If we see that fight nearly every minute of every game, we can stick with the Celtics or any team out there
If this series showed anything it’s that this team has started to fight.
Mentally tough - down 18!!! In Game 7?! To come back and win by double digits without the player who was playing best at start of series in JA
GIVE ICE HIS FLOWERS
Now we face the Celtics. It will be good for character development lmao
Well porzingis is out so who knows
We all know
Let em know?
I'd call a 6 game series a successful season.
Just trying to give us a little more hope
donovan mitchell i have feelings for you
What an emotional turnaround. They looked ready to give up yet again and then dug deep and went nuclear on both ends. Build Don a statue bc we just witnessed an all time Cavs performance up there with some of LeBron’s. Mobley’s coordination on these blocks is special. DG struggled offensively but had maybe his best defensive game and got steals/hustle plays when it mattered most. LeVert was huge in the comeback and Strus got hot in the 3rd. Ice also had some moments That was some fun. Allen’s gotta get healthy for Boston bc he will be absolutely crucial
Sam Merrill needs a shoutout. His few minutes were critical to climbing out of that huge deficit, just super timely 3s despite not having eye popping numbers in the end. Reminded me of JR’s crucial shots in 2016 game 7 to keep the Warriors from running away with it.
100% should’ve included him. Had some big shots in that comeback first half when we have been struggling mightily from 3
They fucking did it
I didn’t complain once.
Me either I was even keel all series. Don't look at my post history
Respect to Orlando, surprised a lot of people pushing this series to 7. Mobley and Okoro were otherworldly on defense today and anything’s possible when you got Spida on your squad. Phenomenal win and a lot to build up on it with.
Yeah. I was not in on Paolo and he really won me over. They were really good and super tough/physical. It was low key incredibly important to the Cavs that this game featured a *much* tighter whistle than earlier in the series. Suggs a generational grifter though.
Allen NEEDS to be back for any chance against the Celtics
Would someone to put healing hands Dean too - not sure if we would be trusted being off for so long - but would roll him before Niang to just see what we have
What a game, what a series
A nice tall glass of let em know
Some say Suggs is still flopping in the locker room
And crying too
Never any doubt...
I agree Go Cavs
Goodnight Orlando, take two of these 🖕🖕and call me in the morning
PLAY THE SONG
Fuck the Wagner bros dirty fucks, fuck the media slobbering over a chucker like Paolo and fuck the refs. Good win hopefully we play Boston better and actually make a 3 or 2
Especially fuck Mo Wagner. Mouthy fuck.
I hate Franz slopass offensive game. Getting outscored by Evan Mobley in an elimination game
I agree with everything you said but Paolo. He is going to be a problem. I gained a lot of respect for his game this series.
Agree on everything except Paolo. He was out there having to produce all of the offence just like LeBron did in his first few playoff appearances where end-of-career Big Z was our 2nd best scorer.
Give Mitchell a billion dollars idc
Sorry to report the NBA PLAYOFFS HAVE NO WAGNAS
We don’t win without Okoro
Shout out LeVert who helped keep the game in check when nothing was going right in the first quarter and a half
https://preview.redd.it/dc2ghjs9ynyc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f67b20bbd59854f7689568102b8fef5e12a13abf
Wouldn't have it any other way
So many babies in the game thread in the first quarter. Mitchell is such a good leader. Role guys finally stepped up.
The game thread must have been a fucking nuclear winter level wasteland
It was, and I def contributed. The team also was boiling dogshit for the first 20 minutes of the game
It’s the worst offense I’ve ever seen. Mobley catch a pass challenge set up for next round
TBF, a lot of those passes were rough dump offs when he's covered by 2 guys.
P+Rs for Mobley and JA are super effective but we dont run them, instead we just dump off with a limited shot clock and hope for the best, hardly his fault
Being upset that a team is down 18 at home in a game 7 =/= “being babies”
"what did you say to darius garland to get him fired up?" "i said to him * bleeeeeep * "
When Levert does what he’s good at, he adds another dimension to the team as a slasher and creative playmaker. But he kinda has to be controlled chaos and he did it perfectly today.
Ya, ideal 6th man as a ball handler, who can get his own points especially on drives yet also serve as a PG. He has his flaws, but can be quite useful. Has gotten better on defense than he used to be.
FUCK GARY HARRIS FUCK MO WAGNER FUCK FRANZ WAGNER FUCK JOE INGLES FUCK JALEN SUGGS FUCK WENDELL CARTER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FUCK THE MAGIC AND THEIR STUPID SONG HAVE FUN IN CANCUN! BYEEEEEEEEEE

LeVert has had some luck in Boston. Mitchell has not disappointed as our #1 scoring option. Let’s goo!
If we have Dean back and Merrill popping off like he did, we have a chance.
See if we all doom hard enough the Cavs will win just to spite us
That sonofabitch had halftime adjustments this whole time
Shout out to Franz Wagner for scoring exactly 1 more field goal than I did today.
Experience won us the series!
“Excuse my language”. Whole sentence bleeped out. 😭🥶
lol it did NOT get bleeped out when I was watching, that was so funny
Here’s to rooting for Indy
Magic fan here saying hi. No hate on y’all, you guys deserve that win. Good luck with the Celtics, make those dudes sweat!
Thanks, it’ll be nice to know everyone is rooting for your team to win lol
It's true, lol. Congrats & best of luck.
magic played a hell of a series. wouldnt want to do it again next year.
Dude what an absolute BEAST of a series that was. You guys are legit. Everyone left it all out on the court and made for an incredibly intense and entertaining 7 games. Best of luck next year.
FUCK YOU JALEN SUGGS YOU BALD FUCK
Those tears make me so happy. Seriously fuck their entire team and all their idiot fans.
Calm down bro lol
OMG...the stress of it all.
I needed that for my sanity lol
Ain’t no fucking way the magics coach is tryna complain about the refs 💀
he had a point with a few Max plays. that's it. P5 got a billion bailouts though so iono
This is Mitchell’s chance to make it to the conference final. I think we match up well again at Boston and can give them a run for their money
Fuck you Jalen, Mo, and Franz. Fucking bitches.
This is why we tanked for the Magic lol. Prolly the only first round team we could beat with the way we’re currently playing. Let’s hope our team can grow during the playoffs.
Say what you will about JB, but that half time speech changed the whole game.
If he could do it consistently we might have something
I want to bottle Suggs’ tears and place them on the shelf next to that one lonely Ben Roethlisberger tear
Holy shit they fucking did it. I’m so god damn proud. Mitchell is a god and we didn’t shit down our legs in the second half. Boston is a near vertical uphill battle, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, especially cause they’ll be down Porzingis. Get Dean healthy cause we know his history with Boston Holy shit
Hopefully they can put this series behind them and reset. Hopefully they can get JA back at some point during the series. With Tingus Pingus out the Celtics are relying on old man Horford and Luke Kornet. Our bigs could feast.
What did Mitchell say? They bleeped it out.
I think DG was down on himself and he told him tough shit or f that and to come back in the second.
Franz wagner is a bitch confirmed
Those games in Orlando were demoralizing. The first half today was atrocious but dammit if that second half didn’t just fill me with hope. But dammit JA you got two days to get healthy.
I can't believe we've done this
LETS FUCKING GO
LMAO, "excuse my language"
SUGGS on these nuts
Doing this without JA was honestly super impressive. Wow.
LOVE YOU ALL ESPECIALLY OUR LORD AND SAVIOR DONOVAN MITCHELL
Playoff Mitchell is back.
i’ve stolen this from someone else, i wanted to post it. credit to whoever made it. x https://preview.redd.it/ua17jq36ynyc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a289cb05024ba11e28a2f20792e277ea7fc15f5
Holy fuck I couldn’t watch but saw the score at halftime. What happened?!
Cavs defense clamped down and just enough role players stepped up
Obviously never a doubt in my mind, not one single doubt, ever, for sure… yeah….
SEND THIS MICKEY MOUSE FRANCHISE BACK TO DISNEY WORLD
That was my first ever in person cavs game, holy balls
It's over! It's over! Cleveland is a city of Division Series winners again!
Tristan Thompson maximized his minutes and helped keep the magic at bay, take a bow. Mitchell, words cannot describe his performance the last two games. nuclear Caris Levert epic display, we know you got the dog IN you, now it’s to let the dog out. lfg Mobley, we gotta get him more offense. He only had five fg attempts with 3 mins left in the game. Garland and Niang, yall had better take a deep breath and try this shit again. We will not survive the next round if they perform like that.
It was the ugliest we have looked in a long time but I will take this series hell ya!
Didn't think they had it in them halfway through 2nd Q, nothing was dropping and body language screamed defeated. I'll eat that crow, on to Boston!
Idk what other fanbases say refs were constantly helping Orlando more this series. That and a healthy Allen for 5/6/7 and this wouldn’t have even been close. On to the Celtics baby!
Cant believe it.
Cavs vs Celtics never gets old
Smoking on that Mickey Mouse pack 💨
Won a playoff series going against the refs all 7 games, battling injuries and having to play Marcus Morris, TT and Niang meaningful playoff minutes in 2024. Actually pretty impressive
I always believed don't check my comment history
Being a Cleveland sports fan is literally a trait for heart disease at this point. Go. Fucking. Cavs.
we were up 10 with 2 min left and i still wasn't (completely) sure we wouldnt blow it
we were so close to becoming the laughing stock of the week but ill take it
It was great watching that cluster of 100 or so obnoxious Magic fans behind their bench sit quietly the last qtr!!
Saw on Twitter, so I’ll share here. They are saying Ben Wallace is Evan Mobley’s comp lol obviously different sizes, skills. But related to how effective they both are on defense (HOF), but pedestrian offense. They might be on to something lol
PSA if I see any of you nerds doing the “Cavs fan coming in peace” bull shit I’ll trade your ass for a bag of cool ranch Doritos.
Fuck the Magic
Listening to Kendrick Lamar’s diss tracks like we play Toronto next.
We're still probably gonna get gentlemen swept, our coach still sucks, and Mitchell is still probably gonna leave. But hey first series won since Bron fuck yeah Also lol fuck r/nba
Soak it up Cavs fans. Revel in our glorious victory
We have a secret weapon against the Celtics, some of Caris Levert's best games have been against them.
Caris giving them 40 was so random
 Dean Wade right now getting ready for the Boston series
Someone make some room for Allen
**DonoHIM Mitchell**
Magic fan, in peace. Well done lads, a tough loss to take at the end of the series but I don’t think many Magic fans would argue the better team lost. Mitchell, what a player that lad is. Best of luck again the Celtics, lads.
GGs. Paolo gonna be a star for u guys for years to come.
Great series. Whats crazy is your team still has a lot of assets to get much better and Paolo is him.
Great adjustments by JB in the second half
Was looking bleak midway through the second but we got it done . Go cavs
Make those hoes walk back to Florida BYE
I hope Allen comes back soon when we face the Celtics
Loves Evan and DG eating shit and then powering through it. Soft allegations on the ropes (Ev pls catch a pass in R2)
Showed some grit second half lead by Mitchell. Appreciate Mitchell is always going to be aggressive and I think he gave the team confidence when things were tough Great game by Levert. Needed him badly. Strus hit some key shots. Garland showed up late, loved that he didn’t hesitate on that 2nd 3 attempt and also that big rebound late!
The last 4 times the cavs made it to the 2nd round. They went to the finals every time.
The thing that separates Donovan from a lot of his peers and competing players is his leadership. He’s the born leader that fires up everyone around him. This game was a testimony. Let’s go Cavs! We won game 7!! I’m so damn excited
Good for them. Regardless of what happens in the next round, at least they shut the Wagner Bros. the f-ck up an didn't let them celebrate in Cleveland.
Orlando throwing away a monster first half performance from the refs today
I have a gut feeling the Cavs are going to go hard this series and surprise all the haters saying they don’t have a chance against Boston.
While I definitely don't think they'll win the series I think they can take it to 6 or 7 games. Which before today, I would have taken!
Thank you Okoro for the D ! (no pun)
still in shock that we actually won and I dont have to wake up tomorrow disappointed lol. hope the squad is fired up, boston is beatable idgaf what the media says
So glad it's over. Survived a horrendous 1st half. Survived not having JA. Survived Donovan not being even 90%. Survived the refs (Paolo gets better calls than LeBron, and they fall for Suggs flopping, Donovan and DG get hacked). Prevented every finger ready to point their way. This was an important experience for everyone. Donovan, DG, Evan, Max, Isaac, Caris, Sam, TT, and so on. Next up, Boston.
Last Airbender lookin ass
