Jason Kidd wasn’t joking last night when he said Kemba Walker “is going to play a lot” tonight in Mavs-Cavs, Part II.
Sheesh. – 12:43 PM

Luka Doncic last night:
33 PTS
6 REB
9 AST
It’s the 20th time Doncic has recorded at least 30p/5r/5a in a game this season.
He’s the fastest player in NBA history to produce 20 such games in a season, needing just 27 games to do so.

Donovan Mitchell has been the best guard in the East. Amazing timing — the All-Star Game is in Salt Lake, the Utah Jazz are coming up on the Cavs’ schedule, and he’s elevating Cleveland’s entire operation, @The Athletic theathletic.com/4010416/2022/1… – 10:22 AM

If Donovan Mitchell makes his next four free throws that would put him at 90% from the charity stripe for the season. He’s also currently shooting 50.6% from the floor and 43.6% from 3-point range. Just something worth watching. – 9:56 AM

This week, it’s the Dallas Mavericks and next, his first meeting with the Jazz. All-Star voting starts next week and yeah, THAT game is in Utah. So now is the right time for Donovan Mitchell to piece together a career year and ‘elevate’ the Cavs too theathletic.com/4010416/2022/1… – 9:33 AM

Donovan Mitchell and Bennedict Mathurin both grasped the basketball for 14 seconds before Mitchell won control Friday night. After that, he took control of the game for the #Cavs, too. thelandondemand.com/news/2022/dec/… – 8:16 AM

Donovan Mitchell found the spark the #Cavs needed tonight. His 18 points in the fourth quarter helped fuel their comeback to beat the Pacers 118-112.
“You don’t poke the bear, and they poked him, and he went on and did what he did.”
