Can the Cleveland Cavaliers trust Darius Garland in crunch time? + Isaac Okoro is about to get PAID

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled to close out games with Donovan Mitchell on the bench, just like most teams would without their best player.

With Spida sidelined, the lead closer role falls on Darius Garland, and he hasn’t exactly shined in those opportunities yet.

With Mitchell still out for the next few games, can the Cavs continue to trust Darius to put them in the best position to win in crunch time?

Isaac Okoro is in the running for most improved player this season. The young swingman is one of the best defensive players in the NBA and his offense has improved a level nobody saw coming this year.

Okoro is an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he’s going to get a lot of interest on the open market, so will the Cavs match a giant offer sheet on him?

Donovan Mitchell is now ineligible for for postseason awards due to the NBA’s new game limit. Is that fair to Mitchell who was putting together his best season to date?
