Which player on the Cleveland Cavaliers needs to STEP UP THE MOST with Evan Mobley out?
Donovan Mitchell pounded his hand on the padded scorer’s table, and the All-Star guard lowered his head to cover his face in disbelief.
That, or embarrassment.
The Cavaliers, considered a strong contender to win the Eastern Conference title this season, look anything but one these days.
On Sunday, they came out flat against Charlotte, recovered and forced overtime before missing all 10 shots in the extra session to lose 119-111 to the Hornets, who were without star LaMelo Ball and have been one of the NBA’s worst road teams this season.
In the final moments, some of the Cleveland fans who stayed around in Rocket Arena until the end, booed the home team, which has too often played uninspired ball this season.
“We deserve it,” Mitchell said. “I was a fan once. I would boo us, too.” | https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47309483/donovan-mitchell-stumbling-cavs-boo-us-too

Hunter and Allen both need to step up big with or without Evan. Hunter has disappeared and there seems to be no reason for it, dude is way too talented for what we've seen recently. I think we've beaten the dead horse on what Allen needs to do.
I feel like a huge reason injuries are so common now is because of the pace of the modern NBA. Modern NBA. vs 90s NBA probably has a 5-10 possession per game difference in terms of pace. Doesn’t seem like much, but that adds up after 82 games, NBA cup, and playoffs. Even if players are more athletic and stronger, they are playing at a pace that isn’t sustainable, regardless of how much load management they have.
The Hunter trade was a bad trade for the Cavs. We never should’ve let George and Cariss go. We should’ve kept Ty Jerome. Cavs are not a big 4. We were a great team
This video provided a quick reminder why I never watch a UCSS clip about basketball if Bull is in it. We get it. He doesn't like the NBA. Then don't talk about the NBA
Let the instant scorer Ty Jerome get away…lots of fat cats with big contracts…..Garland has lost a step or two…going to be a long season!
As bad as this team is, I don't even think a trade for Giannis will save this season.
I think the players don’t train like they used too.
Someone can't put the fork down
ALL of them need to step up!!!
The NBA needs to have its regular season games slashed down to ~65. There is no reason teams should be playing more than 2-3 times a week.
Atkinson is too much in love with Dean Wade. He benched Bryant and Allen for most of the 4th quarter and the overtime. Wade played 32 minutes, but he played too many minutes at Center down the stretch of the game. He is NOT a Center!
