That was an awful turnover by Mitchell, no idea what his thought process there was.

Issac clinched it with that offensive board in traffic.

I was gonna say, he's not gonna have anything left in the tank off 1 day rest.

Allen has to play regardless.

Mobley's ankle is gonna swell but he needs to play too.

Why do you have to foul at that point. Just try to get the stop with 7 on shot clock
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

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.

So barring a 1995 Knicks collapse, the Magic should have this game.

So, is Mobley incapable or just not being utilized? Seeing him getting used like Ben Wallace is just odd. Great defender, marvelous instincts, but he’s just bringing nothing on the other end.

Or maybe it’s just him and Isaac completely nullifying each other in this series?

What if Mitchell went to Orlando? They'll have the cap space.

The 3 teams with cap space that are not lottery teams are Magic, Sixers, Thunder. I could see all being interested in him.

I'm so bummed by how he's regressed. I'm still a huge fan of his skillset, but playing 2nd fiddle to Mitchell isn't the right role for him. Have him switch teams with Franz and I think he could just explode as Banchero's robin, but the Cavs can't move him until they get Spida to commit. So Garland is just sorta stuck as an insurance policy atm.

I don't think you're wrong, but if Mitchell leaves, which I hope he does not, just don't bring in a wing who can run the point, and I think Garland flourishes.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Yet still a far cry from Wade.

I dont think the gap is seismic tbh. Wade is obviously clearly better but i feel like Mitchell is one of the more disrespected stars in the league. Like hes no worse than Brunson who's everyone's flavor of the month atm

It's pretty significant to be honest. Wade was bigger and more athletic, while also having a higher BBIQ. Personally I think Mitchell is one of the most overrated players in the league.

I'm looking at Mobley's box score in a closeout game. C'mon man.
