    Ugly Game 7 Start For Cavaliers Has NBA Fans In Agreement

    The Cavaliers got off to a horrid start to Game 7 of their first-round series against the Magic.

    Cleveland only made four of its first 17 shot attempts (23.5 percent) while turning the ball over five times in the first 10 minutes of game action while falling into a 20-12 deficit.

    The Cavs are in danger of a second consecutive first-round playoff exit. Last season, they lost in five games to the Knicks.

    They rallied to pull within six at the end of the first quarter, 24-18, but they still have only managed a paltry 36 points in their last two quarters against the Magic.

    In Game 6, guard Donovan Mitchell scored all 18 of the team's fourth-quarter points in a 103-96 loss.

    On social media, fans were quick to lambast Cleveland for their slow start in a must-win environment.

    " #Cavaliers look slow and not ready to play. At least when they go home today they won't have to go far," wrote one commenter.

    "12 points with 1:30 leg in the first quarter for the cavaliers. And they want to play Boston next lol," critiqued another follower.

    Others attacked the team's lack of a strong offensive game plan.

    "The most discombobulated offens I have ever seen," and "Cavaliers offense is terrible. Jesus," responded two more fans.
