Much better pass that time from RJ.

These are the kind of games that make me want to believe in RJ...especially with how hard he works in the offseason.

...and he isn't even getting to the line today; he's averaged 5-6 FTA since working on his handle/footwork.

Something tells me the Cavs didn't pay Donovan Mitchell all that money so that they could lose to the Knicks in the first round.

Cavs just ain't winning this.

Garland is just a fake all star

Garland had one lucky game, back to earth for him.

Mobley gets a pass from me as he's a sophomore experiencing the true playoffs for the first time and scoring isn't his thing yet.

Garland needs to be much, much better than this. I don't know what you can draw from this game.

Mitchell is proving his value.

The playoffs have a habit of exposing your players biggest weakness. Last year it was Barnes couldn't shoot beyond 10 feet.

I still say the Cavs upside ultimately depends on Mobley. But I need a larger sample size other than 1 game in the garden for Garland.

Cleveland: 1st QTR 17 | 2nd QTR 15 | 3rd QTR 23

That's has to be some kind of record for abysmal shooting in the first 3 quarters of a playoff game

Garland on his way to Westbrook-ian 3/19 but without the hustle lol

Like Mobley, he's a skinny kid. Let him get stronger and experience these kinds of moments some more; then we'll see.

You can say the same thing about the Suns can’t you?

True, but the Cavs quartet is much younger & less-experienced.

It is a bold strategy to just leave guys open and pray they miss.

Garland is shook. Blows an easy layup.

Garland having a historically bad performance here

Who wins Game 4?
