I've seen Mitchell being more unselfish today than I have his entire career lol

Like Jarrett Allen’s energy, but he needs to be a bit more physical

To be fair... Celtics are getting away with a lot of 2 hand pushes on him. They won't even let him set a screen.

How is Allen not getting foul calls on these shots? That one especially was egregious. Watching little guys allowed to get away with murder when defending bigs posting up is one of the most annoying things about the current NBA.

Agreed Cavs need help at the 3 but Wade and Cedi are playable rotation guys who can soak up wing minutes

Someone like OG as a 5th starter would be amazing obviously but those guys don’t tend to be available. Main thing we need is an unselfish guy who can pass / shoot / defend reasonably well and Wade does that. Every team has a 5th best guy on the court at all times.

I don't really get the idea behind Marcus Smart's offensive role. He's their 3rd best offensive guard (behind White and Brogdon) in terms of shooting and decision-making. But he's the one who gets the ball in his hands and seems to have the most offensive freedom.

I get that when Brogdon comes in and gets to run that second unit, and therefore has the higher usage (while Smart plays a tertiary role behind the Jays).

I'd want a whole lot more Brogdon and White in terms of ball handling. Smart seems to get some sort of seniority advantage.

Tatum got whacked twice as well.

How about that G.Will foul on Garland there on the 3? Didn’t even touch him

Garland will be the best PG in the NBA. He has the complete bag.

Like I said as great as Mitchell is, Garland is the engine of the offense. The ball moves so well with him out there.

Kevin Love went from bad contract to extension worthy, and he looks happy.
