Donovan Mitchell & The Cleveland Cavaliers Are A FORCE
They’re playing very well right now casie merge is one of the best stories in the league they’re 14-1 their last 15 games which I believe is the the longest streak without LeBron in cast franchise this like I say you got to report news and include LeBron without LeBron is the longest
Streak C I think it matches the streak when he was there I’m just telling pointing out information stat man as they call it they won six straight games pass the bucks for second in the East Donovan Mitchell been a big part of the C success doing legendary stuff like
This I don’t know if you CAU this it’s great to see black hisory month get oh my God to himself do you believe that Donovan Mitchell with a circus shot has given the Cavaliers an 18-point lead they they couldn’t do nothing with that girl happy Black History Month on
Behalf of n Mitch so during the street quite a few times this season now that was different I mean just the the thought process oh yeah yeah yeah thought process of that was that’s just that’s just different I ain’t got nowhere to go yeah I ain’t got nowhere
To go and I don’t want to pass I don’t want to pass none of y’all I don’t want to pass here go to backboard to the backboard it goes me so during the streak spiders averaging close to 29 Points a game seven assists five rebounds shooting close to 50% from
The field 36% from three Gil uh please don’t hate be mindful we have Cavs fans watching are the Cavs for real or fugazy second in the East right now creeping on a come up I mean you know for what year last year I mean they’ve played well since Donovan’s been there
They’ve played like a team they have all the um ingredients to be a good team right um they play together they like each other um they still need a couple more pieces to really compete like especially in the playoffs um your your two best players are you know six foot
Right both of them are the the same actual player right so when you start getting isolation plays and they start picking on you you can’t hide neither one of them you know Garland and you know Mitchell are both the same type of guys Garland’s more of the PG style but
You know when you know like somebody like Boston goes big right and you got jayen brown and Tatum at the one two what do you do there right because you guys have to guard them now um you know so depending on who they match up with
You know they can get out of that first round but for the most part they don’t have enough Firepower to go further than the second yeah I mean I think they would just have to like over scheme defensively which that can take away from their offense which is what they’re
Thriving on considering that Mitchell and Garland are considered undersized um when did they lose last year uh first round Knicks but they was they had a really decent season last season as well for I mean they got that year of experience under their belt in the playoffs which I think will be helpful
But yeah I agree with you like they need to they need to get a little bigger yeah or they’ll just over scheme and defensively lock it up being undersized so you talking about getting that playoff experience Jared Allen last year uh or on that first round exit to the
Knicks last year said even for me the lights were brighter than expected I think they’re used to those us those Ohio those Ohio lights too bright too bright we shout out the Cs for real food gazi I think just like the Knicks they turn in the corner it takes
A lot of wear and tear on the ego and the pride of a team that’s expected to do certain [ __ ] and don’t really deliver compared to a team that’s not expected to do anything and start to you know show progression and I think with both the Knicks and the Cavs you look at
Where they were and where they came and now you look at Donovan Mitchell doing what he’s doing 15 games no Garland MH right uh no Mobly so you just got Allan and Mitchell cooking smaller playing small ball they’re doing what they need to do now you add those two other pieces even if
They’re playing two guards he 6’3 Garland 6’2 61 and a half it really doesn’t matter about the size and the scheme between Moy and Allen they’re two great defensive players right and so it’s about them facing a Philadelphia 76ers team where you have to do something with MBI could get both of
Them in foul trouble that’s where they that’s their only real hurdle everybody else even with the Knicks last year that was a tossup it was a tossup series and they just didn’t show up because like you said Allan showed up he’s like uh it a little bit brighter than I thought now
Get you get another year of that ain’t going to be no excuse this time Jared like we’re paying you we’re paying Evan we’re paying Garland and we’re definitely paying Mitchell we need y’all to show up this time take us over to hump and I think Donovan has taken a
Leadership role now knowing that Garland’s out for 15 games and he shown I’m ready to show the world that I’m a star right and that I can be and I think that I am a superstar I always looked at him as little dwade especially in in
Utah and the way that he plays in in Cleveland he was in Utah he CH he changed the dynamic of you know he changed the dynamic of how he actually plays the game in somewhat of a bigger Market because LeBron put a stamp on it
Is up in the market market value um but if he wants to go somewhere else he doesn’t have to prove that he can take the team somewhere else other than the first round acent so who if Nicks versus them both both healthy both healthy St up seven it’s going seven it’s going
Seven so right now playoff started today Cavs will be facing the magic at the seven seed they win and then they’d have the the winner of the Bucks Pacers bucks Pacers in the second round which that’s what I said the the the the problem no not in the playoffs the
Problem the problem with the they’ been smacking them this they they’ been smacking I mean are 4-1 against the Bucks this year yeah son smacked every they got they love her regular season though Sun smacked everybody during regular season to when playoffs came they got smacked up themselves like that
The regular season has nothing to do don’t matter because the regular season this happens they get this book and this book tells you everything a coach can and can’t do everything a player can and can’t do so when the Knicks look at this book they’re going to say all right
Donovan Mitchell loves going left all his step backs going left all his jumping ability is left all his shots his creativity goes left if you push him to his right hand he can’t jump off his left leg he can’t step back off his left leg I it’s called scouting I have all
The scouting reports so we’re playing this game when you look at the game and how it’s being played and they’re sitting there pushing him to his strong hand knowing his strong hand his weak hand in this in this this realm there’s a reason right when we seen um what was
His name r Ricky Rubio right when we watched the Ricky Rubio versus James Harden and Ricky Rubio was playing behind him and everybody’s like what the [ __ ] you doing someone schemed that and thought that was a great idea I remember that he’s playing behind him cuz he’s
He’s trying to push him to a certain way because of the try to take away the step back yeah you’re trying to take away the step back not realizing just push him left just push him to his left hand and make him try to do the left hand floater
He’s a right-hand player who wants to get back to this side that’s how he shoots right left right if you want me to just drive push me right right yep no if you want me to use my bag push me to my weak hand because that’s where the
Hesi the Crossovers come from the step backs the side steps the pullups that’s going left right me going right [ __ ] all I’m going is all the way to the load the [ __ ] up take this Char [ __ ] I can’t I can’t do a runner so [ __ ] push him right
Know your personnel know your personnel so how far can the Cavs go in the East with Donovan Mitchell as their number one option you I just I just told you okay tell me again I said round second round depending on who they play first round exit best case scenario second
Round because the second round they’re going to be playing some type of Juggernaut mhm yeah yep I agree be the bus could be the passers right now so you sneak they just as a sneaky team as is New York like New York can get to the second round depending on who they play
And and how they play when they play so give give me a Cavs bucks let’s say they meet in the second round everybody’s healthy with Doc coaching oh do you can’t forget about that forget about that forgot about the doc as much as I as much as I wanted to say
41 what looking at Turn 4 seven game series it’s the bu like oh it’s the bug doc bugs go out to a 31 lead that’s even more ner yeah you be sitting like you know how bad think about it that just lets you know how bad it is
When they go up 31 everyone’s like everyone’s like oh yeah this this better off 22 this is better off 22 we better off being down it’s not like yeah this game is this series over you be like well yeah

The storytelling here is a rollercoaster of emotions – from laughter to introspection.👄
Knicks will humble them come playoff time again
The first outlet to say something about the Cavs. If they can get a Brandon Ingram/All Star type wing 3 and D to be there.
The latest upload was remarkable! Your consistent effort deserves mad respect. Keep creating awesome content.
Been waiting on this topic tired of the weird New York fan base this a whole different team now
Go cavs🔥
Cavs were the worst defensive rebounding team in the NbA last year and got dominated on the glass by the Knicks. Main reason why the Knicks won… so many second chance points. This year Cavs are #1 in Defensive boards. Now they have legit 3 point shooting and a bench that goes 10 deep…. Donovan playing his ball of his career. #LETEMKNOW
I don’t think theses guys watch the Cavs at all
The Crew and The Cavs are the only Pro sports teams in Ohio with a modern championship banner/s
McCant is the only one who made sense
they’ll choke in the playoffs as usual don’t @ me
my thing is when anyone talks about the cavs nobody ever mentions how good the bench has been for us this year people like Okoro, Merrill, LeVert
Donovan plays really well in the regular season, almost mind blowing. But then the playoffs come around and he chokes. Or he dissapears for two quarters and by the 4qt its too late. When he disappears, there are not enough pieces on the team to pick up the slack. It happened in Utah and it happened with the Cavs, and it will probably happen again this year.
