Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Uff-da! What a game. It was painful and we won. AC had a great comment--"When you play 82 games, not all of them will be pretty."

We won by 8. I predicted 9.

Wouldn't bother. At this point, we've established tropes: if Mobley doesn't have 0 turnovers or 20 points and doesn't look graceful doing it he is a bad player; if DG has a poor shooting night then he hates Mitchell and doesn't want to give up the ball.

I agree. At first I thought he was trying to prove he's the man over Mitchell. Until I heard interviews and Garland has been pushing Mobley to be the man. So I'm thinking Mitchell is pushing Garland to be the man so they can be at the same level because we will need both to be elite for the playoffs run.

I don't know what's going on between players or not going on but I know to just ignore what these guys and coaches say in interviews. He's not gonna go out there and say "Yea, I want the ball at the end of games and not Mitchell."

I wonder if JBB is the guy to figure out the Mitchell/Garland dynamic. Or if it’s more of a players issue to work out over time.

I remember Kyrie and Harden just met one day and said “listen you’re gonna do this, I’m gonna do this” and just put it to bed. Apparently LeBron and Wade did the same thing.

Kyrie and Harden?

@SanduskyCav

Garland did put his hands up when he didn't get the ball. Those types of things are very subjective i'd say. He didn't really do a Dion Waiters type wtf. He seemed to not know what Mitchell was doing. Again its all subjective and who knows, Garland could totally be throwing a fit. It would be uncharacteristic but who knows?

That play could have been designed to get Garland the ball there.

It was around :54 seconds for anyone who wants to rewatch.
 
Okay, individual stats. Some of them are embarrassing.

Starters:
Wade 3-8-1 in 34 minutes 1-5 FG
Mobley 20-13-1 with a block in 40 minutes 6 offensive rebounds, 2-2 from 3, 2-5 FT
Lopez 2-1-0 in 4 minutes Couldn't run with Bagley.
Garland 19-10-3 in 40 minutes 4-19 fg 0-5 3pt 11-12 FT
Mitchell 32-5-1 with a steal in 39 minutes 9-23, 2-8 from 3 12-13 FT

Bench: 26-11-1 in 30 minutes
Osman 10-3-0 with a block in 27 colorful minutes. 1-4 from 3.
Neto 5-0-1 with a steal in 13 minutes. Very good play.
Okoro 7-6-0 with a steal in 30 minutes. 2-2 FG.
Diakite 4-2-0 with 2 blocks in 13 minutes. Let's give him 20 minutes and see what happens.
I. Mobley 0-0-0 in 3 seconds.

All 10 available players played.

I mean, Mobley DOES kind of have Caspii-esque dick-fingers, right? Some trouble holding on to the ball in the paint, right?

I’m going to duck back behind my couch again, to dodge the rotting fruit…
 
It is nice to pull this win cause tomorrow's going to be a loss in Canada.
