Good series Cavs fans. Impressed with the fight they gave these last two games without Mitchell and Allen.

How has the Horford'/Prozingis rotation worked for them though?

Yeah valiant Cavs effort but they're just far too undermanned to make this tougher.

CS were conserving energy before stepping on the gas.

Beautifull ball movement.

It's wonderful seeing Derrick all assertive as well.

Congratulations to the Cs.

On to the next one.

Cavs fans, big summer ahead.

Good luck to both.

I am not going to discount the Celtics because they have not crushed depleted teams. They’ll have a decent chance in the finals if they are fully healthy. But I really don’t enjoy how they play at all.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

He can't be your most important player but he is one of the best 1st options in the league outside the true superstars. That's not that easy to replace.

It's tough as a fan but it's kinda like Kawhi to the Raptors. If they don't want to be there they won't any longer than they have to.

I've never really had that problem as a Mavs fan because our two biggest stars have been foreigners that at least with Dirk wanted to be there. Luka TBD. Kyrie could have left but it seemed like nobody really signed him then he re-signed with Dallas.

I'm super proud of how they fought and I'm excited for what the future has in store for us. If Mitchell stays, we have a formula that clearly works and we can build off of it with key trades. If he doesn't, his play this postseason has definitely increased his stock and we will get us some great trade pieces.

Good season Cavs. Glad you proved to everyone that you weren't a first round exit.


BS Cavs is a disgrace, Orlando should’ve advanced , at least they wouldn’t rest players in contract situations in crucial game 5


I don't think the Cavs wanted Allen, Mitchell and Levert to sit this game out. Those dudes just didn't seem willing to gut it out. Allen hasn't played the entire series, but I definitely side-eye Mitchell and Levert.


It’s huge FU towards the fans , yet they seem happy and grateful, so all good

GG Cavs fans! Showed incredible fight. Hopefully Spida decides to stay and you guys can make a leap next season! Mobley might have worked something out.

I’m done with Garland. But I’m holding onto my Mobley stock. He just needs more size, the right coaching, and to play center full time.
