Yeah Cavs lost this one. Headed back to CLE tied 2-2.

I'd say Mitchell does not extend, so trade him and jb needs to be gone this summer, 3rd postseason in a row he gets outcoahced and doesn't reach the 2nd round.

Allen's value will never be higher after being the Cavs best player in this series, I'd trade him, get as much value back as possible.

Soft reset.

How about we trade Monty Williams for either one. Take your pick.

FYI I agree on the jump pass. Jordan used it a lot but slightly different as he was seeing triple teams and he hung long enough. Still ill advised. I would say there is a spot for it but very rarely.

Chicago's front office is best thing that happened to Magic, in s long time. Thanks Arturas, enjoy Nikola, you need one of those to win, wearing Denver experience on his sleeves.

This has been an utter embarrassment. At least with game 3 Orlando just couldn’t miss. But Cleveland is playing with no effort, not making adjustments and is letting Orlando do whatever they want. This isn’t how a playoff team performs.

Trade Mobley when he still has value and get a real coach that can win. This should be a 4-0 or 4-1 series and we will lose in 6.

Mobley is too soft and weak and gets shook by physicality.

Mitchell should leave because the Cavs have wasted him with a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) coach
