So we can all agree that Mobley is more Tyson Chandler than Kevin Garnett?

The Magic proved me wrong. I had the Cavs in 6.

I'm happy to be wrong tonight.

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


Reminds me a bit of Butler with the Sixers. I think Garland and Mobley will keep developing and lead some really good Cavs teams in the future, but Mitchell is just at a different stage of his career than the rest of these guys.

exactly; nobody on Cavs is matching Mitchell's intensity; deep down Mitchell must be thinking I deserve better

I'd fire that dude right now and leave him in Orlando. Anyone can come up with a better gameplan for game 7.

Could the Celtics show up drunk and high and beat either one of these teams in a series? It's arguable.

I’ll be in the minority not being a big fan of Mitchell. He really is an incredible individual player. Not sure you win big with him as your leader.

Just watched what, 7 straight possessions where he didn’t even consider passing to a teammate except for one of them where he was totally stuck in the air and turned it over.

Yes, he’s cooking, but when you shoot more than the rest of the starting lineup and freeze out the entire rest of your team…I just don’t see his style working on a serious winner. Unless you can pair him with Joker, or healthy Embiid/Giannis.

Props to Orlando, rare that a young team does this much damage, to even force a game 7 is really impressive.
