Cavs just ran out of gas down the stretch, and suddenly it goes from a methodical grind to an open game for the magic.

Yeah it does seem like he's the only one that's not afraid of the moment. The other 4 cavs are like deer in headlights

Garland won't sleep tonight. I expect him to have a huge game 7.

Yet still a far cry from Wade.

I dont think the gap is seismic tbh. Wade is obviously clearly better but i feel like Mitchell is one of the more disrespected stars in the league. Like hes no worse than Brunson who's everyone's flavor of the month atm

Mitchell's shotmaking is going to waste but its probably his best playoff game since the bubble.

Cleveland is offensively challenged even with Mitchell. They play an ugly brand of basketball. I see Mitchell wanting out because this isn't a winning formula.

People need to appreciate this game he is having.

He has absolutely decimated one of the best defenses in the NBA.

I'm so bummed by how he's regressed. I'm still a huge fan of his skillset, but playing 2nd fiddle to Mitchell isn't the right role for him. Have him switch teams with Franz and I think he could just explode as Banchero's robin, but the Cavs can't move him until they get Spida to commit. So Garland is just sorta stuck as an insurance policy atm.

Mitchell is so good at initiating contact then changing gears to get some separation on his drives

Clippers should court the heck out of him. He’s almost certainly going to decline his team option in 2 summers.

You mean besides the generic chants? The Spurs have been doing that for years
