Any word on how bad Mitchell’s injury is?
Out for the year unfortunately, he has to have crotch replacement surgery. Supposedly the injury was caused from excess testicular weight; his 70 point game caused his balls to grow too large. He should be back to normal by next september.Any word on how bad Mitchell’s injury is?

People keep pointing to that last point you make and saying that will bite them in the playoffs. I don't think they are purposefully playing bad at the beginning of the game and good at the end. I think they are working out how to beat the team and I think it is one of their biggest strengths and is actually a GOOD sign for the playoffs. I think it is really likely they drop the first game of any series, but get stronger and stronger as they learn to understand the opponent.Was at the game. My observations FWIW:
- Rubio makes a difference, whether he's scoring or not.
- Excellent games from Mobley and Allen.
- 3 shooting was brutal.
- Too many stupid turnovers.
- If somebody wants Love in a trade - do it.
- The Cavs have a strange ability to play like crap most of the game - then pull it together and win.
It works because Garland works well off the ball and so does Rubio. They know where they need to be when the other has the ball.I once declared that Rubio and Garland would be unplayable together. I still don't understand why that combination works but it always seems to (nba.com says they were +16.1 in 512 min last year)
I think the most we fell behind was 14 and that was briefly. Most of the time it was single digits, from 1 to 9.Well, I'll have to go back and watch this one. The way people were bitching in this thread in the first half, I thought we were getting buried. I still have the recording, luckily.
CHILL MODE as LBJ used to call it!the frustrating thing about this team is it plays like how LBJ played when he was here - coasting for 3 and a half quarters, and then turning it on at the last 6 minutes to get the win
but now, it's not one player who's doing it, it's the whole team.
