AwakenBeerus and his predictions are starting to annoy me. I don't care how accurate he is, I'm not here to make money off his guesses. Let's just enjoy the game for what it is.
I heard of AwakenBeerus when I was watching the NFL 2023-2024 Highlights! I see those funny moments every time! Why do you hate that so much?!
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
Lol no it's not, this has been the first good game of the series. The other 4 were all blowouts
Clippers/Mavs, Knicks/Sixers, Bucks/Pacers, Nuggets/Lakers are all more interesting than this series IMO
Man, I see a lot of potential for Banchero man. I just feel bad for Case, I hope he finds another team pretty soon.
Because nobody gives a flying F about these two teams
@@DuckettVickDunn Game 3 was a very good game
So Magic's offensive strategy is basically letting Banchero play hero ball?
yeah, so boring
When a guy is hot you give him the ball especially if he’s the best player on the team and banchero was going absolutely nuts … Tyrese maxey is a good example of this only thing is Philly didn’t lose.
If he would of shot the finale shot they would've won he was wide open at the 3 but the inexperienced pg took a layup on 3 ppl 😂
He was 14-24, 4-7 from three.
It's the foundation of all NBA teams, c'mon.
Mobley showed up in those clutch defensive plays. Need that same energy next game to close it out
Paolo had a good game, overall.
Need Allen on the bench they play too slow when he’s out there. Mobley is a better 5
@@neilsmith9066kindly compare his stats to mobley in this series
@@fritzgunthertuliao3203 he shot 30 some shots and missed some huge plays. Thats all I’m saying the player of the game was Mobley for the Cavs without him they are blown out
Magic will be scary for the coming 5 years
What a great playoff day with the Cavs and Magic, and the Knicks and 76ers
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.
Gotta love Gus Johnson's "jam with the left hand" Joe Tait shout out at 5:50. Although Tait would say "Wham! with the left hand."
I used my left hand lay up in 2011 Finals G2，now，why do you use your right hand，Wagner?😅
Because he is not good to use it😂
Wow legendary Dirk I'm huge fan names Ruben Ringo jr send me a jersey
He has a good left hand but he does tend to use the right hand in that situation. It surprises most defenders but Mobley was ready. I'll never forget that game winning lefty layup though. That play won the championship.
@@acmgchannel2334he can finish with both. He can easily finish a spin move/euro with both hands. I guess he was just naive or nervous
Gus Johnson deserves to commentate in the finals with Mike Breen & Ian Eagle 🔥 💯💯
Facts
5:55 Yes Sean Pebbles! The PA Announcer for the Cleveland Cavaliers! THATS HOW YOU HYPE UP THE CROWD! That got me FIRED UP!
Why do you put the result in the thumbnail?
Ruins it, I agree
its incredibly stupid
I mean the games already over so why not these are just highlights for the last couple of mins😂
What a game by Cavaliers.
When banchero gets a 3 watch out dudes fearless
Magic are just inexperienced
theyre putting up a great fight against this solid cavs team
Inexperienced yet they are doing well for their first play off experience with a whole new roster of players
@@FishTube069 they will not make playoffs next year . bulls , hawks and raptors will
usually the case of any young team
Both Orlando and okc have same issues neithe r. Are battle tested or have learned what killer instinct is
Trae Young would be a great addition to this Magic team. A true PG that can shoot and he’s surrounded by excellent defensive players.
Best game this series so intense this young teams
Spoiler Blocker
Best playoffs in years. All matchups are so unpredictable.
The match-ups have been unpredictable for the past 5 years.
Idk I think this is the most boring playoffs In years.
@@garrettwilson9664 just cause your warriors didn't make it past the play-in, doesn't mean everything is boring. watch the games bozo
@pool5863 I'm unfortunately a hornets fan. I've watched about every game so far. They've been mostly blowouts. Only good series was Lakers and Nuggets and it was over in 5 games. Both games yesterday were actually unwatchable. So boring.
@@garrettwilson9664 wow. that's actually even worse lol.
Can't believe Mobley blocked that shot! It looked like Wagner had a clear path for an easy layup.
It was a free layup. Franz choked and used his right hand instead of his left.
Wagner driving to the basket with mobley at his heels bachero is free on 3 point area , was the nail at the coffin when he got blocked , he should have pass the ball
No, he should have layed it up with his left hand and would have either scored or gotten fouled.
Nope Mobley would have still recovered not his first block to win a game
Spida my Boi!!! But damn Banchero underrated beast!
We haven't seen the Spida in three years.
@@penkima4923 All G. He here now brada
What a game!!!!!
Props to AwakenBeerus for being the ultimate predictor! Seriously impressive stuff 👏
Let's go CAVS!!!
Huge game by Mobley!
Hate that Donovan hero ball iso crap. Cavs had a great team without him
That block was clutch
Was it a glitch or the clock just stopped for a second at 23.4 seconds?
Good catch
I saw that live wasn’t sure if I was tripping
Cavs need to finish the series next game. They need to win on the road.
This series is underrated. Best 1st round series (2024) so far.
While ending for the best series in the playoffs..
The Magic are young guns and are a future NBA problem in that east fosho😊
What a defns by mobley
I actually forgot about this series 😂😂😂
Good series…got the Cavs winning next game and finishing it off
idk. as a Cavs fan, orlando has really held their ground at home
U on drugs
AwakenBeerus with the 20/20 prediction! How does he do it?! 😮
9:40 keeping his hands down was smart
Cavs Beat magic without Jarrett Allen. if banchero didn't have a great game this game will be a 25 point blowout. 😅
Both teams well balanced against each other
This series still hasn’t started…
I love my Cavs winning this game but am slowly realizing that if they can't dominate a lowly team like the Magic, it doesn't bode well for us going forward...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lowly team? The cavs only won 1 more game than the magic this year. Wtf are you talking about lmao
@@garrettwilson9664 The Magic just plain suck man...they have no one capable of matching up with Mitchell, Garland or Mobley. Jarrett Allen is even FAR better than anyone Orlando has...so kepp laughing fool when the Cavs finally put them away...
@@thomasmoody8708 The cavs only won one more game than the Magic. They're just as bad then.
Evan mobley save the day
I think this has to be the least talked about series of all time
80% of the players on both teams have less then 3 years experience. Prob be the most talked about series in 3 years
Bancarol or however u spell it ... he is dangerous asf 🔥 reminds me of Chris Bosh
Bancarol is better
1st pick for a reason
Big fan of Paolo Bankruptcy personally
@jessearroyo93 I don't know about at this point in his career but his upside is definitely bigger
Magic can do this let’s goooo
Franz had Paolo at the top of the key if he had any court awareness (instead of taking a contested layup which got blocked)
Franz should have taken that layup. He was just dumb and used his right hand instead of his left. He uses his left hand and he either scores or draws a foul.
@garrettwilson9664 or he still gets blocked
@terrancesmith4002 No way Mobley gets a clean block if Franz uses his left. He would have to foul him. Mobley would be reaching over his entire body.
@@garrettwilson9664You obviously haven’t watched enough Mobley
It’s crazy how as a NBA fan Donavan Mitchel is the only player i know in the court as.
It’s because all of these players have been drafted in the last 3 years on both teams
AwakenBeerus totally called it! Is he secretly doing black magic or what? Mind blown! 😱
Franz is like low budget Luka without passing skill 😅 all he can do is drive drive drive no outside shooting, Banchero is wide open man pass the ball you are not the main character.
Franz is among the best two-way players, so he's nothing like Luka. Franz has been better on offense than Paolo in the playoffs.
@@penkima4923 No Franz is not better than Banchero on offense this series, Franz is way too passive this playoffs if he is not scoring he is unusable while Paolo can still set plays and shoot important baskets when he's off.
@@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. Paolo gained Franz on offense in game 5, but Paolo still turns the ball over too much to be their best player in this series.
My point exactly instead he decide to be hero and use his right hand.
His 3 point shot is basically off the whole season, wasn't that bad before. I am wondering whether him playing for the natinal team (with the shorter international line) every summer for the last two years might be part of the problem!
the magic's offense is so sad. step 1: give ball to banchero step 2: pray he plays hero ball
Banchero’s spin moves are weird and surely makes you dizzy that’s why he cannot shoot after spinning 😂
AwakenBeerus and his predictions are becoming a buzzkill for me. I just wanna watch the game without feeling like I'm missing out on some secret betting scheme. Can we dial it back a bit?
orlando strategy is wack. why they only pass it to banchero when he cant shoot or its just banchero dont want to pass the ball
He had the hot hand all night long.
what year is this?
1967
SOLID LAKERS NATION MAMBA MENTALITY💪🏆🙏🌟
What?
lakers? 😂
No left. Easy swat
AwakenBeerus needs to step back from predicting and let us enjoy the game without interference. I just want to watch and discover what happens without someone spoiling it for me.
Why ya put the final score as thumbnail
Ye it's dumb
watch the clock at 24sec mark..
Please don't put the final score on the thumbnail, some people haven't watched the game. It ruins the experience.
We want more of Gus Johnson!
No magic bigger line up but they didn't not backsout
Can anyone explain to me why it is not a half-court violation? Minute 7:57 - It doesn't seem to happen any deflection.
When inbounding you can pass over the line and come back over.
P5 is him.
open sa side your shooter hindi pa pinasa hay nako HUWAGNER 😅 .
magic's freethrows and carter jr's mediocre defense are the main reasons why magic lost
I'm over the whole AwakenBeerus hype. Can we just focus on the game and leave the predicting to the experts? I don't need someone telling me what's gonna happen…I’m here to be surprised!
Wagner should dunk that or use his left hand (it could be +1).
Can we please stop giving AwakenBeerus so much attention? I'm tired of hearing about his predictions every time I check my feed. Let's talk about the game instead of some guy who thinks he's Nostradamus.
Orlando will win this series. .
This game on nba tv 😂😂😂
They should’ve let garland dictate the game instead of Mitchell
Game7..
Why didn’t Banchero have ball with 10 seconds to go?
If JB had a brain he would have put morris in the rotation a lot sooner and move Mobley to the 5 he hasn't made any adjustments
Who is Wagner ??? Banchero is a Main Man in Magic. . Why wagner Doing This. . Crazy
AwakenBeerus scammed me out of my life savings
What a freaking game.
Mobley s defense
This wasn’t that wild. No need to replay the final four minutes or so. Good game though.
Wait Marcus Morris plays for cleveland?
we signed him midseason
there a foul in 3s of bachero. it should be OT. wagner should pass it banchero give to your star. he wants to be hero of the team..
No he shouldn't have passed it. The layup was free. He just used his right hand instead of his left.
@@garrettwilson9664 but widely open bachero in the top. pass it your star. he just want it to be hero and then shouting like crazy like every body hahha
@herbertbelen8423 It's a wide open layup. Much higher % shot. He used the wrong hand.
@@garrettwilson9664 already blocked even if use left or right. guve it to ur star at the last second.
@@garrettwilson9664 either right or left. give it to star for play. what if he past or not.
Better wagner have the ball instead of Bachero
no.
Wtf are these bots comments about AWAKENBEERUS. Stop it !!
Play off mode
AwakenBeerus must be working with someone on inside. Always on point with these predictions! Man I do not know how he does it but god bless him. What a time to be alive 🔥🔥🔥
If Franz Wagner Took More shots they would have won! Banchero just way to selfish
Mitchell ball iq is crazy low
Yo, how does AwakenBeerus always get it right? We are so lucky to have him telling us the outcomes. HE IS THE GOAT!!!
No freaking way! AwakenBeerus predicted it again. I'm seriously shook right now 🤯🤯
neither team is elite thats why they close games aint no body can take over game like the king james
They all have less than 3 years of experience besides Mitchell….
😂😂😂😂#rocketsNation #yaoMing sucks 2 be in Orlando traffic this weekend 🧌
Enough with AwakenBeerus already! I'm tired of hearing about his predictions like they're some kind of gospel truth. I'd rather make my own guesses and enjoy the game without all this psychic chatter.
boring ahh series
Both of these teams will lose against the Celtics 😂
MOBLYE is wagner brothers daddy....
No left hand at this level is diabolical 🫨
AwakenBeerus with the 20/20 prediction! How does he do it?! 😮
