Wait. What?
Missing an Elimination Game???

He's obviously gone from Cleveland, this offseason.
But, Integrity used to mean something. IJS

It's understandable.

The Cavs made their last stand in Cleveland and the Celtics took their land.

It's over.

I mean, I guess there's no sense in the 3 of them getting unnecessarily hurt (Mitchell, Allen & LeVert).
But Wow. This is a NBA Playoff - Elimination Game.

Fans paying big bucks, for a G League Game?

I think what happened to Isaiah Thomas has really had an impact on players playing hurt.

IT's sacrifice in 2017 cost him at the very least a 100m contract.

Don't know how D-Mitch will get there, but my son who is close to D-Mitch has already told me Mitchell wants NY or Miami badly. Though Brunson may be making the Knicks less appealing now.

EDIT- By NY means Brooklyn as well.

[fallguy]

Expecting some Jordan Walsh time in the fourth quarter tonight.

[Fierce1]

Miami will embrace Mitchell.

[Fierce1]

I want to see White return to form in this game.

If the Cs are going to win a chip, they need White to be great.

White making shots just makes the Cs unguardable.

Its also possible that he's just legitimately too hurt to play. This is a calf strain, its not something you can pain tolerance your way through. If the muscle won't fire properly you're just useless out there.

Yeah. I'd like to see the Deep Bench play for a good amount of time.
It's always good to see what these Guys have. Gives them some experience and exposure, too.

Respectful Celtics wearing black to the Cavs' funeral.

Brooklyn makes more sense than anything.

Cannot see how Miami has anything to offer that Cleveland would like to get back.


I like Mitchell on Brooklyn, think that makes a nice team depending on the offer.

You don’t mess with calf stuff like that; that’s how you tear your achilles. Just ask KD

I would be so happy to see East Coast PP and Springer in the backcourt with Hauser Walsh and Queta up front.

EDIT- for most of the 4th quarter. But I know Joe likes his pecking order so Brisset + SVI play before Springer and Walsh probably

Yeah could see a three-way deal regardless of Miami, Brooklyn, LAL etc. Cleveland won't want to take a huge step back, wouldn't surprise me if they try to re-route some assets for Brandon Ingram or a similar type of move for a borderline all-star guy and some depth plus draft picks.

Brooklyn does seem like a favorite, though I don't think I love the ceiling for that team lol.

[Tyakack]

Considering how last game went, not sure if Mitchell being out again is good or not for us. Whatever, just end it.

[brackdan70]

I think the Cavs are ready for Cancun. I think if we had lost game 4, we’d see LeVert and Mitchell.

Do people still go to Cancun?

I think it's much more what happened to Durant in 2019.

Sad to say it, but I really don't think IT registered that much beyond the Boston fanbase at the time. To us, him and his injury were a big deal. The rest of the basketball world did not honestly seem to take much notice.

I think Bridges and Mitchell would work quite well together.

If they could keep either DFS or Johnson and then Claxton and that could make for a nice fast paces core.

[Ben-N1ce]

I expect total dominance. They need to establish home court despite this being a total mismatch. Destroy and rest up.

Donovan is definitely gone. Cavs don’t want to risk him getting injured. The cavs will get a lot of offers, and will get a lot in exchange.
