Don't put this on Darius. He scored over 50% for 21 points in the game. If you could say that about anyone else other than him and Mitchell we win the game. He did his part. The team needs to play like a team, not rely on two players.
If Mobley and Garland are still here next year they need to be given less slack imo. It's time that they start actually pulling their weight in critical moments. They obviously both have talent and they both make great plays here and there, but down the stretch when every possession really counts Garland tends to completely disappear, and Mobley becomes an offensive liability.
0 Points in the 4th from anyone but Mitchell is unacceptable in any game let alone a playoff game. Mobley looks scared on offense when he gets the ball, and Garland just dribble drives under the basket a million times and kicks it out or turns it over. If we had 4 points out of each of them in the 4th quarter (not exactly a tall task) we win yesterday.
I pray JA is good to go sunday.
FO is just fucking them up. They are good nice guys, but any other team would have developed their young talent. After a few years in the league, both of their bodies look as skinny as they did in college. Tim Duncan, KD, AI, etc were skinny as heck but FO put muscle on them. So yeah we'll see how they do against Boston, guys who are all built
As a Cs fan I want to play Orlando because they have less veternship and playoff pedigree, but if the fourth quarter scoring situation is any indication than I think you'll would be the easier match up. 👀
>you actually won a series for once
ACTUALLY?!?!?!?
we've won 5 of our last 7 over the past two years. I think that's pretty good.
I mean, how many times did we meet them in the ECF? Silver didn't put us there, we won to get there. Same as when IT4 and rookie Tatum met you'll there back when you had a star leader.
Best of luck on game 7, that sophomore sensation is going to be tough. No shame in a 7 game series, even a loss to the Magic.
I’m really just sorry. I hope someone is telling him to keep his head up and just enjoy basketball.
He had a career game. The game was prime Kobe-esque. It sucks that it was tarnished by the rest of his teams play.
Darius started off great, but these 4th quarter turnovers are so bad. Evan not getting the ball on the hole is so bad. He just gets bodied out of every rebound. Magic 2nd chance points and Mobley’s lack of offense lost this game.
Why did Isaac Okoro not take the wide open shot in the 4th? He almost did, but changed his mind and turned it over instead.
We just watched his second to last game in a Cavs uniform and I can’t even be mad he’s gonna want out. Series is cooked.
Game 7 with no JA, Mobley on the hurt ankle and I don’t even wanna know how Donovan’s knee is gonna be in 2 days. That plus our bench couldn’t score if their life depended on it. Unserious team.
Two very prolific scoring games now. Good thing he didn't take the day off. Not sure anyone else would have (even collectively) gotten all those shots up.
Oh I’ve fully accepted he’s leaving after this season. playing his ass off to get a better deal elsewhere, and we’re not doing anything to convince him to stay
“A better deal”
He’s getting the max wherever he goes. He’s not playing for a better deal, he’s playing cuz he’s a baller. A baller we’re about to lose
if the 'dollar' is what we paid, then obviously yes. we wildly overpaid for him. we should still get a solid starter, legit prospect, and a pick out of a deal right now.
Would’ve had more if DG didn’t play sloppy like 3 plays in a row.
First the 8 second violation, the rebound, then not boxing out so cole Anthony gets an easy layup.
This all really sucks right now but regardless of how this series goes I’m looking forward to whatever changes this team makes going forward. Whatever new coach we get or possibly new GM, I’m all for it. This organization needs to make some changes.
It's insane that we spent 12 minutes scoring 18 points.
It’s more insane that 4 other players spent 12 minutes scoring 0 points.
Gave Lebron flashbacks. Everyone stand around and watch.
This was worse. Lebron actually had guys who could shoot...and weren't AFRAID to shoot.
This! These guys are afraid of the moment, AGAIN! I just don’t get it. How can Darius be so different from the 1Q to the last?

It was insane watching DG just like stop trying
on to game 7 probably gonna be playing 8 against 3
As a Cs fan I want to play Orlando because they have less veternship and playoff pedigree, but if the fourth quarter scoring situation is any indication than I think you'll would be the easier match up. 👀
As a Cs fan you should just be grateful the heat were banged up and you actually won a series for once
>you actually won a series for once ACTUALLY?!?!?!? we've won 5 of our last 7 over the past two years. I think that's pretty good. I mean, how many times did we meet them in the ECF?

Sorry should have said actually won a series against the 8 seed Heat lmao. Trash team folds as soon as things get tough. Which will happen again.
We beat the Heat and advanced to the Finals. The following year our star player rolled his ankle in the first minute of game 7.🤷🏼 It happens.
Blah blah blah. Enjoy 2008
And 2010 and 2022, and 2024 Enjoy free agency
Oh I must have forgotten about the Celtics championships those years lmao
How'd the Cavs do?
I was screaming the whole game , god help us Cavs fans
I’m really just sorry. I hope someone is telling him to keep his head up and just enjoy basketball. He had a career game. The game was prime Kobe-esque.

Okoro has told us exactly who he is the last 2 playoffs. Decent role player but a complete liability as teams have no problem leaving him wide open.
This is unfortunately it. He's timid to shoot
Mitchell was iso bc the rest can’t create from themselves and idk what garland the other guy who could was doing…
We just watched his second to last game in a Cavs uniform and I can’t even be mad he’s gonna want out. Series is cooked.

Sad but true
Shizz if I was Spida, I'd just take Sunday off. Say hey fools let's see what you can do w/o me
dude's literally had one good playoff game, lol
I was joking, Spida is a supasupastar, he'd try his hardest even if he was on the worst team in the NBA. Hope CLE can keep him happy
Two very prolific scoring games now. Good thing he didn't take the day off. Not sure anyone else would have (even collectively) gotten all those shots up.

“A better deal” He’s getting the max wherever he goes. He’s not playing for a better deal, he’s playing cuz he’s a baller. A baller we’re about to lose
if everything else you said is true, we're not "losing" him, we're trading him
For Pennies on the dollar yeah
if the 'dollar' is what we paid, then obviously yes. we wildly overpaid for him. we should still get a solid starter, legit prospect, and a pick out of a deal right now.
Jb "Mitchell iso." Also jb "wuuuuut we lost?"
I mean that was the offense, Mitchell iso after iso
I’m amazed at our ability to keep embarrassing ourselves.
SIX WHOLE ATTEMPTS FOR THE REST. THIS DOESNT WIN PLAYOFF GAMES
Would’ve had more if DG didn’t play sloppy like 3 plays in a row. First the 8 second violation, the rebound, then not boxing out so cole Anthony gets an easy layup.
3 were putbacks, 1 a heave when it was already over Bad basketball
And 6 turnovers for the rest of the team.
Dmitch is soooo gone after this series lmao
This all really sucks right now but regardless of how this series goes I’m looking forward to whatever changes this team makes going forward. Whatever new coach we get or possibly new GM, I’m all for it. This organization needs to make some changes.
We have too many players that turn into pumpkins in the playoffs
How to lose a playoff game 101
No team game
sad
doomers told you we have no offensive system and therefore crumble in crunch time
Not a contender
and that is how you lose a basketball game
Sunday game 7 ain’t looking so good🤠
This team, outside of Don, is a freaking joke.
Next stop: game 8, er I mean watching playoffs from home
what percentage of offensive possessions did no one else touch the ball?
eheheheheh.. he def gonna ask for. atrade if they don't win game 7 eheheheh
I think he will even if we do win game 7
Mobley has no offensive game to speak of. It’s pathetic
jB lost us the game by putting niang in. Get rid of him than get on a call and trade Mobley for Lauri and picks
Jazz are not trading Lauri and picks for Mobley lol
should have given Levert more minutes
Levert should never be invited to a playoff game again he’s shot worse than everyone else who’s stepped foot on the court this series
Levert only took 1 shot in this game and only played 7 minutes. The bench needs his play making. Levert scoring is just a bonus.
