New: Donovan Mitchell looked gassed in the fourth quarter in Game 3 but there may have been more going on there besides fatigue. He’s been added to the Cavs injury report for Game 4 masslive.com/celtics/2024/0… – 6:33 PM

Rewatching last night, my opinion is that Al Horford’s defense was, in fact, good against everyone other than Donovan Mitchell, & Boston was totally fine with him switching onto Mitchell and living with the results. Mitchell hit 7 stepback 3s. Amazing performance. Celtics stayed… – 2:47 PM

In many ways, this #Cavs playoff run was the franchise’s latest pitch to Donovan Mitchell — a chance to show the team is good enough and this is where he can win. But that case is looking worse as the roster around him keeps raising questions

Of all the Cavs’ previous playoff losses this season, Saturday’s defeat is the one that bothered Donovan Mitchell. Why? The wounds were self inflicted, he said, @TheAthleticNBA theathletic.com/5487158/2024/0… – 9:50 AM

#Cavs have now played 24 minutes in this series without Donovan Mitchell. In those minutes, they have an offensive rating of 68.9 and a net rating of -65.9. Their only shot against Boston is if he gets more help.

This #Cavs postseason run was, in many ways, their pitch to Donovan Mitchell — a chance to prove the team around him is good enough & this is where he should be. But the supporting cast keeps faltering. It has at least 2 games to make a better pitch
