Evan speak your mind and don’t let Chris tell you what you think
Evan…DG is a MAX BAG$$$$$$ player! His play or lack there of at the end was poor!
Evan was hurt…plus he was never a part of that stagnant offense. Evan's growth should have been a huge focus at the start of the year and this is the result!!!
Chris you show more emotion in a couple of seconds than Levert has showed us in the entire series!
It's not how you start…it's how you finish!
On a positive note…That 50 point effort by DM will help get more for him this summer when we sign and trade him! Plus on another positive note…Nobody is going to offer Okoro 15-20 mill…Cavs should now be able to sign him in the 8-10 mill range! FIRE KOBY…….he's the roster constructor! JB's firing won't be breaking news!
Having to start Morris…what else do you need to hear? No JA, EM hurt, NO D.Wade…alot to overcome. Throw in Koby has constructed a roster of 2 guards…DM..Strus,Levert,Okoro, Sam…NO Small forwards!!!
EM is still very young…the entire Cavs org…has lost their focus when it comes to his development!
Starting Morris at the 3 looks like the end for Okoro!
They are NOT CONNECTED!
My mans Evan said “John Blair Bickerstaff” ☠️
Look at the supporting cast of every other team in the playoffs then we have the Cavs.Its kind of sad tbh,What have they done in there rebuild smh.
Shoutout to 45
I expect a close game like game 5. Role players play better at home and the home team has won them all. These teams were 2-2 in the regular season and 3-3 in the series. It looks like a coin toss to me. My pre-series pick was Cavs in 7. I'll stand by that but with the narrowest of margins.
Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs both were drafted after Evan Mobley and both scored over 20 points and dominated. Mobley looked like 💩3 points!!! He needs to be traded and accept that he was a wasted pick.
This man Chris constantly cuts people off and then routinely gets upset if he doesn’t like their opinion. Pretty funny
Get your popcorn ready for THE FALLOUT if the CAVS lose Game 7 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Garland just sucks, Evan! Accept it.
Chris needs to stop interrupting Evan and anybody else on the podcast
Some one has to step up and help this man HE just can't do it by himself, Come on coach We need Allen coach back mobly can't do it just reaching and grabbing You need two hands to get a a Re bound where are the other player? Why are they there when this man gave you 50 points and you couldn't Step up ,Come on Guys where are you'll on Sunday any one can win on Sunday You'll must do better on Sunday please your coach lose his job This man gave you 50 points and you no one did any thing to aH3lp
OH y’all thought we was going to go quitely into the night WE WILL FIGHT ALL THE WAY do yall believe now #playthesong
The Cavs didn't only waste Mitchells superstar 50 point performance, they've wasted two years of his career playing for this team without a backbone.
He deserves to be on a championship caliber team. You can count on him NOT RESIGNING now.
So many questions about this team that keeps NOT SHOWING UP…
How did they go on that midseason winning streak WITHOUT Mobley and Garland?
Where is 40 point Caris LeVert, or 30 point, or 20 point?
Where is the confident regular season Okoro?
How many players on this team are too injured to even be on the court?
Where is the emotion on this team besides Mitchell?
Suddenly none of the bench players can make three pointers? Where's Sam Merrill?
Garland played like a zombie at times with too many lapses of judgement. He is one hard foul away from being knocked out of any playoff run (remember what Detroit did to Mark Price)?
Where is the Cavs enforcer/rebounding monster that they've been needing for years ala Rick Mahorn, Charles Oakley, or Ben Wallace?
Other than Mitchell there is no guts, grit, or will on this team. They have checked out.
Even if by some miracle they manage to win the series on Sunday, they will go no further in the playoffs.
Really infuriating.
You guys happy you tanked for this? Looking forward to hearing the song on Sunday. Go Magic!
Darius garland trash trade him and Mobley soft asl whole team soft we need to get rid of everybody we have no roster and the coaching staff is terrible
DG is garbage getting payed more than Mitchell is insane
