Donovan Mitchell is not the problem and Evan Mobley is not the problem.
We can debate what the problem is. There might be a few. I just don’t remotely think it’s those guys. Figure out what you need around those two and roll. – 9:38 PM

A Donovan Mitchell led team has never been to a Conference Finals. I don’t care how you slice it but this Season for the Cavs is a complete failure – 9:31 PM

#Cavs lead the Pacers 56-52 at the break.
Tyrese Haliburton hit five 3s in the second quarter and nearly erased a 19-point lead. Cavs have made just one 3-pointer on the night so far.
Donovan Mitchell leads the Cavs with 16 points and Evan Mobley has 14. – 8:16 PM

Donovan Mitchell (9pts) looks good so far. Already 6 FTAs, two more than the Pacers.
Cavs move ahead 25-14 late 1Q. – 7:34 PM

That was a great cut by Mobley. He noticed Siakam cheating up to Donovan Mitchell on the left wing and went right behind him for the easy dunk. – 7:16 PM
