Mitchell knows when Cavs bigs play the way they did Saturday, takes the team to a whole new level

The play of the bigs tonight I mean what did it seem like it got into them um man I don’t I don’t I don’t I don’t even know I mean like they they came out um you know from the jump Evan Moy set the tone you know um that was that was

Big for us every Mo set the tone for us offensively defensively Jared Allen did the same thing but you know they’re playing like that hitting shots spacing the place in the floor they’re doing that man we’re going to be really tough um and we didn’t really shoot it well

From from three and we still some good plays and you know they’re a tough team you know I know their record is what it is but they don’t stop they don’t stop fighting and stop you know playing hard you know what I mean so for for us uh

Especially for them to set the tone for us as a group was huge JB mentioned it seemed like they wanted to send a message tonight that that those bigs are they’re pretty good you know it’s always you know it’s always a competition you know what I mean when you you hear about

A guy who’s you know who we all feel could be you know one of the probably will be one of the faces of the league or the face of the league as the years come by you know when you have that’s especially for especially for Ev me J

Especially but especially for Ev being in around the same age um and kind of coming up together I think that’s something that you know want to send a message for sure um I would love to see that battle for for many years um even when I’m retired and they’re still

Playing so um you know it was great to see but was your view of what happened there at the end oh he just hit me in the face I felt like it was dirty so I just pushed him back and I mean I knew I was probably going to get ejected but

You know I like I I know it’s my second or third time getting ejected but I few push I’ll push you back I really a really nothing nothing at all do you have any kind of history with that Collins or anything no not I mean I just

Felt like it was a dirty play and you know I responded but you know you saw me after him smiling like whatever like you know I’m just you hit me I hit you back and we keep it pushing you know but ultimately get ejected and you know that’s that when

Plays the way that he the way that he did tonight like what does that do for you guys um takes us to a whole different level you know he’s he’s aggressive you know he’s he’s attacking the rim getting to his spots playing within the flow of the offense too you

Know I think it’s it’s huge you know you got the combo of him darious in that two-man game and then having F being able to play off that you know um is huge you know like I said being able to space and knock down threes is also you

Know you have to for it forces you to have to go out there and cover him um so I think for him to continue to play in that role you know and sorry um continue to play in that space and continue to be there for us that’s going to take us to

A whole different level what have you seen from him since he came back from the long layoff patience um it’s easy to kind of want to come back and get it all at once you know he’s finding his his spots you know and I think tonight was obviously his best

Game I would say of the season um but you know I think for him just being able to pick your spots find your ways and you know this is a great building block for him this is a great performance from him and you know especially after coming

Off the knee you know to have a performance like this is great for your mental um you know and I hate I don’t mean say like win or lose it’s great for him to have that you know coming out of the injury for mentally being okay cool

I can get to my spot I’m still able to kind of get to what I’ve been able to get to before I got hurt so it’s great for him to see that um and I think it’ll benefit not only him but us in the future

“Evan Mobley set the tone for us. Offensively, defensively. Jarrett Allen did the same thing.”

Donovan Mitchell talks highly of how ‘Tower City’ sent a message with their play on both ends of the floor.
