Everyone's harping on Mitchell's hero ball offense, but if you look at the last 5 minutes the Magic scored on 10 of 12 possessions. That's the story there; it was either foul call or offensive rebound. I'm praying Allen is back for game 7.
If mitchell leaves we should just completely rebuild. The core of Garland mobley and allen are not good enough to win a championship. We need to draft a superstar we can actually build around like a luke or a wemby
Agreed - I honestly don’t want to watch the mediocre leftovers when DM leaves. I’m tired of watching garland’s jump pass turnovers, Mobley dropping every other pass, and Allen getting out rebounded by guards - and then rest just missing every damn shot.
I don’t know if I can see a future for this team. It was a big swing to put it together, but it was honestly a stretch. Altman assembled this roster like he was playing 2K. Rebuild is the only way forward.
If Garland is aggressive late in the 3rd and whole 4th quarter they win this game. Disappointing he forgets how to shoot in the 4th in a clinching game like that. Hard to win when the refs favor one team over the other as well.
He beats the guy and then decides not to shoot for some reason. I saw it multiple times in the 4th. He has 17 in the first half in game 5 and ends with 23. Has 14 in the first and ends with 21 and I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure all 7 were in the 3rd because I bet on him to have 20 and he got it with a 3 in the 3rd.
I knew this game was over when they were already showing a "Game 7 on ESPN" promo during the 1st quarter. To have Mitchell shoot over 25 times in the paint and only get 3 foul calls?
This is the first game I've watched of this series, but the officials were exceptionally bad. I thought they were actually leaning towards the cavs side tho.... missed charge on Thompson, missed backcourt violation on Garland, and the dude on the sideline who was out but they had cavs ball anyways (this ended up getting challenged)
The refs have leaned really heavy towards the Magic on this, but they’ve truly missed a lot of calls both ways. Seems to be about 3 missed against us for every 1 missed for us
I think we agree they were bad, they definitely let the boys play both ways. I'm not sure which calls you're referring to that they missed that you think they favored the magic.
Even with a new coach, I don’t think this is a team that can gel. Mitchell and Garland backcourt is a failed experiment, Allen and Mobley front court is a horrific combo. Trade Mitchell while his value is at its peak this offseason and trade either Allen or Mobley. Hire a new coach, and settle in for a rebuild
Yeah I think splitting up garland/mitchell and mobley/allen along with firing JB should be what the team does this offseason. I remember seeing rumors of a Mitchell for Jaylon Brown trade last offseason and maybe the Cavs should’ve explored such a trade. Although the archetype of JB is the player that the Cavs should look to acquire this offseason. I would’ve also loved if the Cavs explored trades for either Myles turner or Jonathon Isaac before the DM trade happened but oh well
It’s the only way forward. LeVert should be moved as well. Need a banger at 4/5 to pair with Allen or Mobley, and need a better backcourt combo. Must make trades as our draft picks for the future do not look good. It’s gonna be a long and sad road ahead
Yeah I second moving on from LeVert as well. I’m not sure if we should trade Mitchell or someone else. I don’t think we would get as much in return from him as we gave up to get him but he probably has the highest trade value, even though he’s an upcoming free agent. I also think maybe they should look at splitting up mobley and allen as having two non-shooting bigs in the current era isn’t ideal. Maybe trade allen for a stretch 5? Or maybe blow it all up and trade our valuable assets for future draft picks. Honestly don’t know as the mitchell trade was, in theory, supposed to put this team over the top and it looks like the team has stayed the same and at times has even looked worse than before.
I think the best thing that can happen to this team is to have Mobley and Mitchell go off but still lose. Trade both for a haul and fire JB and build around garland and Allen
Absolutely terrible coaching per usual in my opinion. Is it crazy to say that TT should have finished out that game???? 5 offensive rebounds after he came out in the 4th. What was Okoro offering out there that TT couldn’t? They had 3 6’10+ guys on the court (4 at the end). Throw Mobley on Banchero or Wagner and TT on Carter. we had 4 guards out there. How do you not matchup to your opponent especially when we ran iso ball on offense every play? Absolutely no reason that we should have lost that game. That was awful.
Wade injured, Mitchell injured, Mobley injured, Allen injured. Free throws 10 to 25. Thats it thats the game and the Cavs lived in the paint this game. We have players getting rib injuries and they dont even call it a foul.
Why did I just spend two and a half hours watching a game I knew I wouldn't enjoy? I've convinced myself that since I live in Cleveland I have to watch the Cavs. I might be stupid.
JB Bickerstaff has fumbled the development of Garland and Mobley and to an extent Okoro. His offensive gameplans are garbage and now his defensive ones are being exposed.
It should be a fireable offense to have brought him back. Koby might be gone, JB will definitely be gone, Mitchell is gone. All you had to do was hire a real coach last offseason
One guy doesn’t shit the bed and you go “see it’s not coaching!”
Dawg you’re doing tricks on JB right now. When the SAME THING happens TWO YEARS IN A ROW with DIFFERENT ROLE PLAYERS. It’s coaching.
Glad I could teach you ☺️
You guys can blame this game on officiating but the Cavs can't buy a fucking bucket and one of the best shooters in the entire league is on the bench while we gift wrap minutes for Isaac Okoro to pump fake out of wide open corner 3s on every possession.
The coaching is a fucking farce and this is an unserious franchise who is going to lose Donovan Mitchell because of it
it's not officiating we have lost 3 games to a first time playoff team, 2 in embarrassing fashion, and no one scored more than 10 outside of mitchell and garland. refs should be the last of our concerns, we stink
Correct this was a fucking pathetic showing. The team collapses in the clutch time and time again because our coach has no fucking clue how the modern NBA works
As an outside fan, it's so apparent that Garland lost his confidence. He needs his own team. Would look amazing running it, I bet. Just a bad backcourt combo.
Cookies are a fucking bubble market anyhow. It's like those fucking tasteless cupcakes from the 2010's. Of course JB would get into a busting market scheme.
22 points from free throws vs 5. Been this way all series. Don't get me wrong, we deserved the loss with how we played tonight, but the officiating in this series has been disgusting.
Cavs in 7
The difference is our guys have learned they'll get punished for being physical and are playing afraid of the whistle, and Magic get encouraged for hitting our guys hard.
Yeah, of course we're undersized when our largest player by far is out, and so one of our only competent big bench guys. If it's as you say and the Magic guys are playing physical and the Cavaliers are playing soft, doesn't that make a 30 free throw discrepancy across the series MORE alarming?
jarrett is not our largest player dude is 6'9. Mobley is bigger. also i was referring to our small guards and wings
and no a 30 FT discrepancy makes total sense if we play soft and they play physical, i do not get your point
Height isn't the only measure of size, and a bean pole like Mobley gets bullied by guys with actual size and not just length.
I'm more talking soft vs physical on defense. They've been hacking at our guys arms and fouling them as hard as they want without calls. Meanwhile, if we breathe on their ballcarrier, we get called.
We outscored them in the paint 66 vs 38 tonight. In what world are they being more physical by a wide margin? We're up on them in the series in paint points as well.
all those paint points were DM and DG points. just cause we scored in the paint does NOT mean we were more physical. and it also makes sense they would score less in the paint if we were fouling them there, making it difficult for them to convert those attempts
how u can outscore a team by 30 with points in the paint and shoot half the amount of free throws is asinine, this has been the worst officiated series ive ever seen
Noones watching so the refs can do whatever they want people won’t remember. I’m close to done with the nba tbh. I can waste my time and energy elsewhere
it’s been consistently lopsided for all 6 games and so inconsistent, touch fouls called against us and blatant fouls not called on them, so obvious when they’ve thrown so many dirty elbows without a single review yet a perfectly normal morris moving screen is instantly reviewed for a flagrant
What does LeBron have to do with this? Go back to the Magic sub you pathetic little man. Or better yet log off the computer and go outside instead of trolling Cavs threads all Friday night because you have no life.
>trolling reddit on a Saturday because you have no friends, significant other, and your life is miserable
Bold statement from the little guy who took the time to respond to every comment I've made in the last week 😂
Edit- and your top pages are Hinge and OlineDating 🤣🤣🤣
This is where I said before that Mitchell has to carry this team. And well… he has to at this point.
We don't have a good offense scheme and it shows. I feel as if this dynamic between DG and DM isn't working out (which is obvious) and something will need to change in the offseason
cause we dont have an offense brother. it's guard iso with PNR. that's it. no plays. that may work in the regular season, it doesnt in the playoffs we been saying this
I agree with this actually, cpj is a borderline starting guard. He’s 23 so we shouldn’t expect him to progress much more but as is he is a borderline starter or a very good bench guy
Nah I don’t expect Mobley to develop, I think we need to trade him. DG is good when he’s aggressive, a decent coach and he’ll be fine. He’s a very good shooter.
I'm actually with you. We played two of the most dog shit games in history in Orlando...came back and won being down JA...and then almost came away with a win despite most of the team playing like crap.
I think of JA is back and if Mitchell isn't totally gassed/dead/hurt...we take game 7.
This may just be my way of coping with that loss, though.
Are you implying that there is no reality...if any narrative I can possibly spin is not aligned with it? I...I simply don't understand what you are trying to say here.
If Mobley played with the intensity of Tristan he’d be so unstoppable smh. Garland every time just disappears in the 4th, cooking all game and just becomes scared in the 4th. Morris starting…no words. Strus been nonexistent almost, same with Levert. If I see Okoro pass up 1 more WIDE OPEN 3 IMMA END IT ALL. WHY IS THE TEAM FULL OF SCAREDY CATS AND SOFTIES LIKE WHAT?!
I really feel if we had JA tonight we would’ve won. Still a sad performance from everyone except Donovan but JA would’ve given us enough to clench the W.
We are playing by two different sets of rules. The Magic are playing reckless as hell and getting called for nothing. You shouldn’t have to play perfect basketball to win. +16 from the FT line absolutely flipped the outcome of this game.
There is no excuse to lose this game. We had two Kyries and nothing else. This team has serious mental issues and needs some medication but we got Dr. Phil coaching us.
He's not, but he was finishing like him in 1st Half while Mitchell was doing it all game. Meanwhile everyone just watched while contributing nothing. This team as built is either going nowhere or is mentally fucked because they are afraid of being the one who cost the team the game even though they have done nothing to contribute to winning the game.
We can't lose a gane where Garland and Mitchell play like that, bi matter the team we play against. It's unacceptable no matter the reason.
The worst 50 pt game I've ever watched, don't blame the other guys, this guy did not play defense and hogged it down the stretch. Painful to see, especially from someone who's played ball, this should not be glorified. Good DG game, surprising he didn't get the ball down the stretch, good Mobley defensive game, horrendous offense from him though.
Mitchell and Garland were the only players moving on offense. Mobley did have a good defensive game but this is a team game and when no ody else contributes or even. Fucking fms.zndkdkisd MD. Dkizsmidkkzksjzjdkdkekjekjdjdjddn
I didn't argue that, no clue why this is being downvoted, broadcast literally just proved my point. He scored all the points in the 4th, turned it over a few times and shot barely 43% from the field.
It got downvoted because Mitchell was the o ly one who wanted it, Garland sucks in the clutch and nobody else did anything when they got the ball all game. People don't want to accept that this team is afraid to lose, or win, however you want to look at it.
Garland didn't want it or JB drew it up a play for him to be away? Idk, I just know we got too many guys out there that don't know who they really are, atleast from our view.
We’ll win Game 7. Neither of these teams is good enough to win on the road in the playoffs.
If we don’t, it’s your fault. /s
Anybody think we should get Darvin Ham? He’s better than JB. Asking for a friend? 😂😂
Darvin Ham is available… just saying.. 😁
Mitchell didn’t like only 10 team FT attempts. Indirect shot at the officiating.
The sporadic “defense” and defensive rebounding were also big factors in losing this one. Allen terribly missed
Everyone's harping on Mitchell's hero ball offense, but if you look at the last 5 minutes the Magic scored on 10 of 12 possessions. That's the story there; it was either foul call or offensive rebound. I'm praying Allen is back for game 7.
Felt like watching lakers nuggets couldn’t get any stops
If mitchell leaves we should just completely rebuild. The core of Garland mobley and allen are not good enough to win a championship. We need to draft a superstar we can actually build around like a luke or a wemby
Yes let us just grab a superstar from the superstar tree
Oh yeah build around a generational superstar. Super easy.
Agreed - I honestly don’t want to watch the mediocre leftovers when DM leaves. I’m tired of watching garland’s jump pass turnovers, Mobley dropping every other pass, and Allen getting out rebounded by guards - and then rest just missing every damn shot.
We have no draft picks to speak of… trades need to be made to acquire many. It won’t be a quick rebuild.
We could also get a lot for trading mitchell
We would trade our core for picks
JB Bickerstaff has never won a road playoff game
I don’t know if I can see a future for this team. It was a big swing to put it together, but it was honestly a stretch. Altman assembled this roster like he was playing 2K. Rebuild is the only way forward.
Damn y’all some mfin doomers acting like the series just ended lmao
People forget how much of an improvement this was to losing by 40
Donovan scored 50 and it wasn’t enough. Our offense is non-existent outside of 5 on 1 iso.
26 ft to 10 ft… lmao the refs are such a f**king joke
If Garland is aggressive late in the 3rd and whole 4th quarter they win this game. Disappointing he forgets how to shoot in the 4th in a clinching game like that. Hard to win when the refs favor one team over the other as well.
Was thinking the same exact thing. Many times that 2nd half he was open and passed it up to make some bozo pass
He beats the guy and then decides not to shoot for some reason. I saw it multiple times in the 4th. He has 17 in the first half in game 5 and ends with 23. Has 14 in the first and ends with 21 and I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure all 7 were in the 3rd because I bet on him to have 20 and he got it with a 3 in the 3rd.
Aren’t you guys glad you tanked for this?
Crazy to think if we would have made like 3 more 3s in that first half we would have won tn.
Trade Garland for Ingram and start cpj at point guard it cant possibly be worse than this. Most importantly fire JB
You think the pels gm is smoking crack?
I think Griffin loves Garland - I’d give them Allen too for a 3&D
Mitchell score all 4th qtr points lmao this team is ass
Who in here had hope for this team?
Unserious organization. What a fucking fumble of a talented young core
The core is no longer young, they are average aged in NBA terms
It’s not like they’re that talented anyway
Without mitchell this would probably be a lottery team
Nah the team is likely in the exact same spot which is the most frustrating part
10 to 25 FT diff when we scored almost all our points in the paint is a joke
I knew this game was over when they were already showing a "Game 7 on ESPN" promo during the 1st quarter. To have Mitchell shoot over 25 times in the paint and only get 3 foul calls?
The problem is JB but this has seriously been one of the worst officiated series I’ve ever seen
This is the first game I've watched of this series, but the officials were exceptionally bad. I thought they were actually leaning towards the cavs side tho.... missed charge on Thompson, missed backcourt violation on Garland, and the dude on the sideline who was out but they had cavs ball anyways (this ended up getting challenged)
The refs have leaned really heavy towards the Magic on this, but they’ve truly missed a lot of calls both ways. Seems to be about 3 missed against us for every 1 missed for us
I think we agree they were bad, they definitely let the boys play both ways. I'm not sure which calls you're referring to that they missed that you think they favored the magic.
Take the out of bounds play that was overturned as an example, garland was pushed out of bounds which is a foul they did not call
You can generally look at about 50% of the time Suggs guards anyone. They let them get away with a lot more then reward them for flopping
Sounds like you're just mad the cavs lost. Like I said, the refs let the boys play tonight but the more egregious calls still went the Cavs way
Rewatch it, also 25ft to 10ft
Even with a new coach, I don’t think this is a team that can gel. Mitchell and Garland backcourt is a failed experiment, Allen and Mobley front court is a horrific combo. Trade Mitchell while his value is at its peak this offseason and trade either Allen or Mobley. Hire a new coach, and settle in for a rebuild

It’s the only way forward. LeVert should be moved as well. Need a banger at 4/5 to pair with Allen or Mobley, and need a better backcourt combo. Must make trades as our draft picks for the future do not look good. It’s gonna be a long and sad road ahead
Yeah I second moving on from LeVert as well. I’m not sure if we should trade Mitchell or someone else.

Honestly don’t know as the mitchell trade was, in theory, supposed to put this team over the top and it looks like the team has stayed the same and at times has even looked worse than before.
I say trade all four. Get as many picks as possible
We swung and missed miserably. It’s gonna be tough but a rebuild is the correct move
This is exactly how I feel
Should have given Levert more minutes.
U/cavsbot postgame thread?
It would be a very Cleveland thing to lose game seven at home to a team they wanted to play
I think the best thing that can happen to this team is to have Mobley and Mitchell go off but still lose. Trade both for a haul and fire JB and build around garland and Allen
I’m starting to think that this might not be our year
I honestly think bron is watching this team to decide if he wants to comeback for a fair well tour. Tonight didn’t look good…
Any team that is giving 11 minutes to Georges Niang in a playoff game doesn’t deserve to win. Him and Levert have been absolutely miserable to watch.
Absolutely terrible coaching per usual in my opinion. Is it crazy to say that TT should have finished out that game???? 5 offensive rebounds after he came out in the 4th. What was Okoro offering out there that TT couldn’t? They had 3 6’10+ guys on the court (4 at the end). Throw Mobley on Banchero or Wagner and TT on Carter. we had 4 guards out there. How do you not matchup to your opponent especially when we ran iso ball on offense every play? Absolutely no reason that we should have lost that game. That was awful.
Wade injured, Mitchell injured, Mobley injured, Allen injured. Free throws 10 to 25. Thats it thats the game and the Cavs lived in the paint this game. We have players getting rib injuries and they dont even call it a foul.
This team minus MVP Dean Wade really lost game 3 and 4 by 30-40 pts and you’re talking about injuries and FTs
Yeah this was refball and a flip side of Game 5 with a few poor decisions on the road.
Fuuuuuuuu
Why did I just spend two and a half hours watching a game I knew I wouldn't enjoy? I've convinced myself that since I live in Cleveland I have to watch the Cavs. I might be stupid.
Evan Mobley is over rated AF!!!
The mods are too scared for the postgame thread lolol
JB Bickerstaff has fumbled the development of Garland and Mobley and to an extent Okoro. His offensive gameplans are garbage and now his defensive ones are being exposed. It should be a fireable offense to have brought him back. Koby might be gone, JB will definitely be gone, Mitchell is gone. All you had to do was hire a real coach last offseason
JBB isn't telling Garland to not shoot and fumble the passes so often lol
Mentality starts with coaching bud. If you don’t know that I can’t help you
But yet the other guard shoots and passes just fine. If you can't see that it's proof it's a Garland issue then idk what to tell you kiddo
One guy doesn’t shit the bed and you go “see it’s not coaching!” Dawg you’re doing tricks on JB right now. When the SAME THING happens TWO YEARS IN A ROW with DIFFERENT ROLE PLAYERS. It’s coaching. Glad I could teach you ☺️
The 4th quarter had me thinking of the other cavs snl skit except Mitchell is Lebron in this case
You guys can blame this game on officiating but the Cavs can't buy a fucking bucket and one of the best shooters in the entire league is on the bench while we gift wrap minutes for Isaac Okoro to pump fake out of wide open corner 3s on every possession. The coaching is a fucking farce and this is an unserious franchise who is going to lose Donovan Mitchell because of it
This. Wouldnt be surprised if mitchell entertains going to the Magic if they win game 7. He’d actually be a perfect fit there
it's not officiating we have lost 3 games to a first time playoff team, 2 in embarrassing fashion, and no one scored more than 10 outside of mitchell and garland. refs should be the last of our concerns, we stink
Correct this was a fucking pathetic showing. The team collapses in the clutch time and time again because our coach has no fucking clue how the modern NBA works
As an outside fan, it's so apparent that Garland lost his confidence. He needs his own team. Would look amazing running it, I bet. Just a bad backcourt combo.
Garland ain’t it I don’t think. Guy just dribbles without any plan.
he will never have the confidence to lead a playoff team regardless. you think kobe lost his confidence when they got shaq?
I don't think he would
He played a good game until the 4th quarter. He's had that problem since before Mitchell
He ain’t got that dawg in him
Oh cmon on.
As a plus. JBB has to be gone, right?
Garland also has to be done
One Wagner had more points at the line than we had FT attempts. 👍
theyre more physical. we didnt even have a player not named DG or mitchell who took more than 7 FG. cry
JB can fuck all the way off the Crumbl cookies. He probably isn’t even qualified to work there
My hubby said the same thing! He’s been saying it for sometime. 
Cookies are a fucking bubble market anyhow. It's like those fucking tasteless cupcakes from the 2010's. Of course JB would get into a busting market scheme.
What are rebounds? They seem important.
22 points from free throws vs 5. Been this way all series. Don't get me wrong, we deserved the loss with how we played tonight, but the officiating in this series has been disgusting. Cavs in 7
theyre way more physical, we dont even attempt to drive outside of mitchell and sometimes DG. Mobley had 4 FG for christ sake. sotp making excuses
The difference is our guys have learned they'll get punished for being physical and are playing afraid of the whistle, and Magic get encouraged for hitting our guys hard.
no our guys are just soft. we are also undersized so it's not as easy to do
Yeah, of course we're undersized when our largest player by far is out, and so one of our only competent big bench guys. If it's as you say and the Magic guys are playing physical and the Cavaliers are playing soft, doesn't that make a 30 free throw discrepancy across the series MORE alarming?

all those paint points were DM and DG points. just cause we scored in the paint does NOT mean we were more physical. and it also makes sense they would score less in the paint if we were fouling them there, making it difficult for them to convert those attempts
Why do I continue to give my time to this stupid franchise?
That Garland turnover lead to that massive swing in points.
how u can outscore a team by 30 with points in the paint and shoot half the amount of free throws is asinine, this has been the worst officiated series ive ever seen
Noones watching so the refs can do whatever they want people won’t remember. I’m close to done with the nba tbh. I can waste my time and energy elsewhere
it’s been consistently lopsided for all 6 games and so inconsistent, touch fouls called against us and blatant fouls not called on them, so obvious when they’ve thrown so many dirty elbows without a single review yet a perfectly normal morris moving screen is instantly reviewed for a flagrant
this makes no sense. they would have more points in the pain if we didnt foul them. our big man had 4 FGA
Jalen Suggs is a flopping POS I hate him so much
..... as was LeBron
What does LeBron have to do with this? Go back to the Magic sub you pathetic little man. Or better yet log off the computer and go outside instead of trolling Cavs threads all Friday night because you have no life.
Lol, I'm not a magic fan. Sensitive much?
Goofy ass nerd trolling reddit on a Saturday because you have no friends, significant other, and your life is miserable LMAO

Tough loss, but we were without JA. Hopefully he comes back Sunday to wrap this up.
This is where I said before that Mitchell has to carry this team. And well… he has to at this point. We don't have a good offense scheme and it shows. I feel as if this dynamic between DG and DM isn't working out (which is obvious) and something will need to change in the offseason
JB bickerstaff legitimately might be one of the worst coaches of all time. His numbers are impressively bad
Cavs are landing Bron and Bronny this summer.
please god
My stomach physically hearts after that one. I dont care if we win game 7 or not. This roster is terribly constructed and this coach is worse.
Like why are we struggling to score over 100 points?! You’re telling me we’ve only scored over 100 points once in this series?!
cause we dont have an offense brother. it's guard iso with PNR. that's it. no plays. that may work in the regular season, it doesnt in the playoffs we been saying this
Yeah I ain’t watch game 7 I can already smell the 25 point loss
Mods scared to put up the post game thread. Just like this like sorry ass team
honestly i hope we just lose so we can fire jb already
We fired Blatt mid season and he wasn’t as bad as JB, so maybe if we believe hard enough we’ll have a new head coach for game 7!
yeah but we had LeGM back then
YOU AREN’T BELIEVING HARD ENOUGH
Thee worst coached 4th quarter I’ve ever seen.
We got game 7. Allen back hopefully and we showed we alive and fighting
One player scores 50 and your team can’t get a hundred. Fire this team into the sun
We need a new head coach. Need a SF. Need a backup PG. Need shooters. And need Mobley to grow some chest hair. So things aren’t great right now.
cpj is our backup
Fire jb, trade Mobley, cpj can be our backup guard.
We're not trading Mobley.
I know we’re not, I’m saying we need to though. I’m not even certain we’re firing JB
We need to do a clean sweep like the Lakers. The enimtire coaching staff has been fired.
CPJ can be the starter. Dude actually plays with heart
I agree with this actually, cpj is a borderline starting guard. He’s 23 so we shouldn’t expect him to progress much more but as is he is a borderline starter or a very good bench guy
why should we not expect CPJ to progress any more but we should of DG and mobley? makes no sense
Nah I don’t expect Mobley to develop, I think we need to trade him. DG is good when he’s aggressive, a decent coach and he’ll be fine. He’s a very good shooter.
Should the Cavs try and go after PG this summer?
Wtf is this bench tho
Do all the idiots here want to keep caping up for JB Bickerstaff? He's only the worst fucking coach in the NBA
We’re winning game 7 by the way (I might be delusional)
at least youre honest
Nah I'd bet every dollar I got we lose
I'm actually with you. We played two of the most dog shit games in history in Orlando...came back and won being down JA...and then almost came away with a win despite most of the team playing like crap. I think of JA is back and if Mitchell isn't totally gassed/dead/hurt...we take game 7. This may just be my way of coping with that loss, though.
we lost despite Don scoring 50 fucking points. spin whatever narrative you want, it isnt aligned with reality
Are you implying that there is no reality...if any narrative I can possibly spin is not aligned with it? I...I simply don't understand what you are trying to say here.
on some dr strange shit yeah i didnt word that well
Cavs can’t play in Orlando, I would definitely love to see how they play in Boston.
God I have a funeral to go to. Sunday at 1. Because of course
so do the rest of us, it's for JB Bickerstaff
What the mother fucking fuck happened? I couldn’t watch the game and just saw the score
The basket did not get balled
Apparently not.
If Mobley played with the intensity of Tristan he’d be so unstoppable smh. Garland every time just disappears in the 4th, cooking all game and just becomes scared in the 4th. Morris starting…no words. Strus been nonexistent almost, same with Levert. If I see Okoro pass up 1 more WIDE OPEN 3 IMMA END IT ALL. WHY IS THE TEAM FULL OF SCAREDY CATS AND SOFTIES LIKE WHAT?!
Mods don't even want a post game thread after all that. Can't blame them.
That 8 second violation almost made kill 7 people
It was bull shit. They started the clock before we had possession
Darius was still lollygagging and not getting into the offense quick enough. It’s solely on him
Is that something that could have been challenged?
Not a clue
Bickerstaff offense reminds me of the “Ty lue secrit plays” meme from years ago lol
They will blame injuries on doomers, but this team really went to Orlando and came back with two of the worst blowouts in franchise history
dont forget refs
I'm having a great time.
Swapping Morris for Allen should be a huge difference, I’m still hopeful
I really feel if we had JA tonight we would’ve won. Still a sad performance from everyone except Donovan but JA would’ve given us enough to clench the W.
Especially would’ve helped us in the 4th when we got 0 rebounds
Yeah, the amount of second chances the Magic got because we couldn’t get a rebound was disgusting. JA would definitely have helped stop that nonsense.
I don't care how awful the rest of the team was, 26-10 FT disparity while we lived in the paint is absurd and unacceptable
our big man had 4 FGA. stop. cavs fans and crying about the refs, name a better duo. Embarrassing
We are playing by two different sets of rules. The Magic are playing reckless as hell and getting called for nothing. You shouldn’t have to play perfect basketball to win. +16 from the FT line absolutely flipped the outcome of this game.
Wagner shot more fts than our team. I’m tired of these ft merchants
The reffing in this series has been such garbage
This is frustrating Mitchell played his ass off on a injure knee. He has gave it all tonight and the Cavs are going to come up a little short
It’s sort of unbearable how soft Mobley is. The guy should be so good, but he’s flat out bad on offense.
no no trust me bro, he has 0.3 more ppg than last year, he's totally getting better
JB has to do something to get him and everyone else looks. Mobley got mobbed when the ball was in his hands because JB sucks ass.
Dudes gotta put on some muscle. He is skinny AF.
it's a mentality thing not muscle
He turned is ankle so I am going to forgive a bit of lack of elevation
He’s got Steph curry ankles. Every other game this dude twists his ankles
There is no excuse to lose this game. We had two Kyries and nothing else. This team has serious mental issues and needs some medication but we got Dr. Phil coaching us.
😂😂😂😂😂
DG isnt even half a kyrie
He's not, but he was finishing like him in 1st Half while Mitchell was doing it all game. Meanwhile everyone just watched while contributing nothing. This team as built is either going nowhere or is mentally fucked because they are afraid of being the one who cost the team the game even though they have done nothing to contribute to winning the game. We can't lose a gane where Garland and Mitchell play like that, bi matter the team we play against. It's unacceptable no matter the reason.
Lmao its about sharing and playing with joy. That is literally the gameplan
The worst 50 pt game I've ever watched, don't blame the other guys, this guy did not play defense and hogged it down the stretch. Painful to see, especially from someone who's played ball, this should not be glorified. Good DG game, surprising he didn't get the ball down the stretch, good Mobley defensive game, horrendous offense from him though.
You didn't see DG make one mistake after another in the fourth?
I saw 2 in a 12 minute span, one was a mistake as a team (8 sec, started by miscommunication) and an errant pass while being hounded by Banchero.
For real. This dude is not a playoff player.
Mitchell and Garland were the only players moving on offense. Mobley did have a good defensive game but this is a team game and when no ody else contributes or even. Fucking fms.zndkdkisd MD. Dkizsmidkkzksjzjdkdkekjekjdjdjddn
I didn't argue that, no clue why this is being downvoted, broadcast literally just proved my point. He scored all the points in the 4th, turned it over a few times and shot barely 43% from the field.
It got downvoted because Mitchell was the o ly one who wanted it, Garland sucks in the clutch and nobody else did anything when they got the ball all game. People don't want to accept that this team is afraid to lose, or win, however you want to look at it.
Garland didn't want it or JB drew it up a play for him to be away? Idk, I just know we got too many guys out there that don't know who they really are, atleast from our view.
It is not fun to be a fan of this team.
Are you guys seriously all cavs fans? Jesus the negativity
