I knew Bron would do this because he usually plays worse when there’s more than a day between games
I think he said once that he does better when he plays more often
Yep re: pandemic stoppage
I get that. I’m terrible on Monday at work because of this. Takes me a whole week to get back on groove after vacation lol.
Lebron got a couple of soft foul calls on bricked shots that bailed him out too. It was even worse than the statline suggests.
The Lakers winning games where LeBron is average to poor and missing key rotational pieces? Sign me the fuck up. AD carried but the other 6 guys who played stepped for LeBron and Vando/Rui/Vincent too.
Dmitch is honestly pretty garbage as a #1. If I’m the Knicks I don’t want any part of him
Why are so many people overreacting like this to his first game back in a week and a half
He’s right though Donovan is a #2 not a #1
He's too ball-dominant to be a #2. He would only work alongside Embiid/Jokic.
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
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.
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
He’s been this way since Utah, it’s not this game specific
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
He can just pass it, it’s not like Cavs need him to play hero ball to win. They scored plenty
I mean it's not a good game by Lebron but how is 8-23 abysmal and how is 4-18 equally bad lmao
I know you’re trying to be funny here, but Donovan Mitchell as a Cavs legend is crazy.
Highest scoring game in Cavs history so he'd be a legend even if he rode the bench
Right, isn't LeBrons highest score in the 50s somewhere? SMH he should pass the rock less. Be a true legend and take 40 shots per game.
I really hope in his final season he has a hot hand against some tanking team and just says "fuck it" and goes for career high
donovan mitchell is not a cavs legend
Legitimate second best Cavalier of my lifetime.
Are you 2 years old?
Huh? He’s definitely the 2nd best Cav in the lebron era. Kyrie is a solid 3rd - Mitchell is a top 10 talent in the NBA
for now... Garland IMO runs the offense better and Mobley is more complete. All 3 guys can disappear.
lol he threw a playoff series against the team he's going to request a trade to
If you score 71 points in a game you are now a legend for that franchise no matter if you take a nap with a blankie on the bench for the rest of your career
Darius garland leaving the game hurt the cavs because they just doubled Donovan every time down the floor. Even when he got single coverage he was taking contested shots.
The Spida special right there
When ur two favorite players have a mid off. Nice
Are we calling Donovan Mitchell a cavs legend? Lmao
71 points will get you that title easy
he already has more better scoring games than Kyrie
Donovan Mitchell already a “Cavaliers legend” xD
Truly encapsulating what the city is about
