Cavaliers legends Donovan Mitchell and LeBron James had a mid-off: LeBron at 22/6/6 on 42% TS, Mitchell on 22/5/6 on 46% TS (alien.top)

LeBron had an abysmal 8-23 FG (1-9 3FG), significantly lower than his stellar season averages (alongside 4 TOs).

Mitchell had an equally bad 4-18 FG (2-6 3FG) alongside terrible shots in the clutch.

I really thought both of them would have a monster game like the last few Lakers-Cavaliers duels but this was really disappointing.

Dmitch is honestly pretty garbage as a #1. If I’m the Knicks I don’t want any part of him

This is an idiotic take if they had Darius garland for the whole game they wouldn’t be able to trap him every time he had the ball

[–] Wavepops@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He can just pass it, it’s not like Cavs need him to play hero ball to win. They scored plenty

He’s been this way since Utah, it’s not this game specific

[–] myyummyass@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's the best player on every team he's been on so I don't see how he wouldn't ever be the #1

Why are so many people overreacting like this to his first game back in a week and a half

[–] RyuSunn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you have an opinion like this the only moment to say it would be after a shit game because you would get buried if you said it after a good game

He’s right though Donovan is a #2 not a #1

[–] Wild-Apricot-9161@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's too ball-dominant to be a #2. He would only work alongside Embiid/Jokic.

Donovan will always get shit on because he's not quite as consistent as a lot of other star players. It's the same in the nfl where if you aren't Tom Brady levels of consistent fan bases say they're trash

He's a bit like Jamal Murray in that regard.
