Mitchell is out with the knee injury maintenance so we'll see how this goes.

At least Kawhi is out on the other side and Harden is questionable.

They should shut Mitchell down for the rest of the season come what may. If he's not right for the the playoffs, the matchup isn't all that important.

Awesome first half, zero complaints from me, been fun to watch.

Good LeVert showed up.

The Strus is loose.

How about Garland with 4 steals.

Season high for 1st half points, hung 80 on em. Still a lot of basketball to play though.

LeVert 18, Sturs 18, Mobley 16, and Garland 15.

I have no words. Just adds to the fuel to fire Jb.

That brutal loss has now made the Cavs slide to the 5th seed.

I hate that players like PG can go to the free throw line at will to end games which inevitably forces you to double and leave a shooter unguarded.

Garland has no trust in any of his teammates other than Allen when Mitchell is out to close out games.

We stopped pushing pace in the 4th quarter, but if you can't slow it down and execute in the half court to protect a large lead, there's a problem. Also, you can't get out rebounded by 12 by the Clippers. Just can't happen.

40 pts in the 1st quarter, 40 pts in the 2nd quarter... 38 points in the entire 2nd half.

Oof just saw a clip of Westbrook clowning the Cavs after the win at mid court.
