Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Aside from those obvious concerns, I personally don’t think he’s been very good in quarters 1-3 this year, either.

He’s not right and he needs to fix his shit quickly. Way too much dribbling, too many turnovers, bad shot selection, etc.

He hasn’t been. He’s basically played like a fringe all star this year in spurts not some budding superstar in this league. Mitchell isn’t going to play great every game and that’s where the 2nd option is supposed to step up especially if he’s a great player

They lost by 11. I'd say they were enough.

Keep moving those goalposts chief.

Go look up how often a team in the NBA makes 4 or more corner 3 point shots in a game. I think you’ll be shocked.

They missed 11 or more free throws too. I’d say that’s way more concerning than a handful of corner 3 point shots. Do better.
 
Not sure how a professional NBA team without Shaq can miss 12 freethrows in a game.
 
12 points by Mitchell, went 4-16 from the field. Not his game today

The game plan maybe should have been, defend the 3.

19 threes given up mostly wide open. That’s on JB. maybe he can take himself off the team next game

Some of them were off of misses/rebounds, but yeah when the officials started rewarding the Raptors players for initiating contact, we over helped and left the corner three open.

But really the Cavs aren't built to withstand bad shooting nights from Mitchell and Cedi on the same night. Also, Mobley was timid defensively.

I don't want the Cavs to make a dumb trade, but our rotations are problematic when any two of Okoro, Stevens, and LeVert on our the floor at the same time. We need another shooter and I really hope Altman sees it. A team like the Raptors is able to make the absence of spacing really hurt.
