Tons of credit to Mitchell. He is really battling tonight.

As bad of a shooter as Gary Harris is, he's a very good on-ball defender. They missed him in the 2nd half in game 5 and are getting abused in game 6 by Mitchell and Garland.

First game I've really thought the cavs are getting squeezed out of a lot of calls.They've been super aggressive going to the rim and lots of bumps and scrape and very little calls but it's home cooking I guess

It’s the GB i have every right to post here. I also have a right to my opinion in that I think Mobley is under utilized on offense.

Those shots at the rim are higher percentage than their free throw shooting :lol:

This isn't what you were saying before. You said Mobley is the same player since he first came in the league. That's utter nonsense and you know it.

Mo Wagner really just flopped on purpose to give Orlando time to challenge the play. There's no way that should be allowed...

I don’t know what these officials are doing. You are standing right there and it was an obvious Orlando shove.
