@realcavsfans That’s why Altman put this roster together. To adjust and be interchangeable for multiple series. Kenny has done none of that and is still treating this like the regular season. The Cavs have the talent and personnel

The biggest weakness with Kenny is his inability to tweak and unwavering trust in their process. Adjustments doesn't mean process is broken, it means tailoring to situation. It also means recommitting not letting others dictate terms. Playoffs don't have the runway too wait.

@IsaacOkoroFan And he plays him out of position!

People wondering why Tyson’s 3 has fallen off since the first round and maybe it’s simply just that his coach won’t play him consistently. He’s a 2nd year player and got sent to the doghouse after 3 minutes in Game 5 to never return. Put confidence in your players.

@JordanZirm They are like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you’re gonna get

I don't have any expectations for the rest of this Cavs run. they could come out and win by 15 tonight or commit 15 turnovers in the first half. or both.

@BenAxelrod The Kelce’s and Taylor Swift. If that happens Dean Wade is dropping 20

Cleveland needs to get its celebrities in order to combat Chalamet, Stiller, and Spike. I'm talking MGK, the Paul Brothers, Drew Carey, and John Fanta.

@BenAxelrod They are like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you’re gonna get

Legitimately have no idea what to expect from the Cavs tonight.

@ChrisFedor This is what probably happens. He has a great game tonight and Cavs lose then he gets shielded from the blame again lol

In past years, #Cavs Donovan Mitchell has been shielded from the blame. The coach wasn’t the right guy. The roster wasn’t ready. The supporting cast wasn’t good enough. The injuries were too much to overcome. No more excuses. This is his moment of truth. cleveland.com/cavs/2026/05/f…

@JacksFlickinger If he doesn’t score, he’s useless. He’s not a star player. Star players impact the game no matter what. Swap Cade and Mitchell and Cavs are 8-0 In the playoffs

The Cavs lost lost Donovan Mitchell’s minutes by 25. Missing shots was part of it, but there’s more behind it than just that. Teams take on the persona of their star player. It’s fair to wonder how far a group built around Mitchell can go. 🔗 fearthesword.com/cavs-playoffs/…

@MZavagno11 I don’t understand completely going away from him. Didn’t Koby say at the trade deadline that he has to be included in the new core. I hope to see him start tomorrow, but I’ve lost all hope for this team lol

You kind of have to play Tyson Game 7 imo so you should probably play him here down the stretch if you surrender

@John01291851401 @Carsobi Thank you! I’d look to trade him first if Cavs lose tomorrow. After all the talk the last few years and lame ass post game press conferences this is how you show up to finally get to the conference finals at home! Golden opportunity and he choked. This is why he gets written off!

@porterhouse02 @Carsobi Totally agree. Let’s say hypothetically the Cavs want to extend him, but he says no because he wants to win. It would be like dude, if you can’t win with this Cavs team then where the hell are you going to go? He’s been the problem so this will be an interesting off-season.

I'm so disappointed in Donovan Mitchell. Tonight was just a brutal watch. Forcing the issue into traffic time and again. His refusal to pass the ball all postseason has been such an issue. 5.7 APG in the RS to 2.9 APG in the playoffs. He hasn't hit his RS AVERAGE in assists ONCE.

@_KingOfHarts @Carsobi Has he made it past the second round in his career though?

@porterhouse02 @Carsobi Rudy just had 0 points 3 boards…

@tennis4life13 @Carsobi Totally agree. But he talks like a number 1 and has all these lame ass post game press conferences and excuses. Had a chance to finally get to the conference finals as the guy and he flat out choked!

@porterhouse02 @Carsobi He is a number 2, only about 7-8 1s if that even. LeBron is a 2, curry a 2, Durant a 2. Who are the 1s ? Ant, Giannis, jokic, Luka, SGA, possibly Wemby

@racjac24 I can go on and on about Donovan and how he is a loser that can’t get past the second round. My biggest gripe is all these lame ass post game pressers and excuses. This is why people write him and the Cavs off. Wasted a golden opportunity at home to make conference finals!

Let's talk Donovan with one long ass tweet. Let's start by saying multiple playoff games this season have been unacceptable from him. He is a Top 13ish/Tier 2 guy. Tier 2 guys do not escape multiple bad playoff games. We have seen it the past few seasons from Tatum-Brown-Kawhi-Murray-Booker-Maxey-KAT etc. Hell this season we have seen it from the elite of elite Tier 1 guys in Jokic and SGA. The problem for Donovan is affecting the game in a positive way when not shooting well. Which more often than not, he doesn't. Also, a small guard in his 30's who primarily depends on his quickness/explosion will start the decline down the mountain. So do you just get rid of a Top 13ish/Tier 2 guy for marginal pieces? The league doesn't hand Top 5ish/Tier 1 guys to you(unless you are the Lakers). I have seen some Rockets trades and wonder if people have actually watched the Rockets play before? And no, they are not giving Amen Thompson to the Cavs lol. I know if they lose this series, it will leave a stain on Donovan. The last 2 seasons didn't have anything to do with him imo. He was dragging a physically/mentally weak crew as far as they could go. This season he has a guy who always plays/handles the ball a lot in Harden. He has Mobley doing a lot more playmaking. Allen is playing tougher. This series was there to take. This will leave a mark on him. It's def an interesting convo. I know this is a AB play for 2033 town, but dumping a Tier 2 guy for a bunch of junk and/or some future picks ehhh

@HammerNation19 The Baker Mayfield comp is actually perfect. Donovan has a good game 3 and great second half of game 4 and gets our hopes up just to let us down. Just like Baker would give us hope some games and then he’d throw 4 interceptions against the Packers

Game 6. At home. Chance to advance to the conference finals. Daniss Jenkins outplayed Donovan and Bball Paul Reed outplayed Evan Mobley. An era of Cavs basketball is at a crossroads…

@MoreForYou_CLE And Ausar Thompson has never committed a foul. I’ve been saying this all series and I’ll say it again. It’s worse than the Iguodala days at Golden State. And calling the Cavs physical is hilarious after the first two games they said how much they imposed their will😂😂

Pointed out the Pistons led the league in fouls per game and his argument was “the regular season doesn’t matter”… it does when you have an 82 game sample size showing they commit the most fouls per game. Pistons Beat is in shambles right now 😭😭

@IcyChris_12 @realcavsfans I know who Jared Allen is. I watch sports. I don’t live under a rock. I was just talking about the basketball play because it annoyed me some are actually trying to say it’s a foul on Allen

@porterhouse02 @realcavsfans We know. Jared Allen was also a football player

Jared Allen plays football.

@MoreForYou_CLE Watch the play again. Ausar pushes Allen first causing him to go forward and trip over his feet. Ausar initiates the contact. And Ausar has never ever committed a foul according to him, it’s worse than the Iguodala days on Golden State

Also Thompson landed on Allen’s foot and they collided into each other lol. Get the fuck out of here on some big crazy foul

I sure don’t miss this cry baby as our head coach

@KenCarman I think 9 wins takes the division. And browns can win 8-9 games next year with this team. They won 5 last year and sucked on offense. I think they’ll be a lot better even with the QB situation and they still have their defense! And they’ll be better with no Schwartz

They didn’t punt on this draft. They have a new coach, Easiest SOS, Least amount of travel. If they lose, they lose. But they’re not planning on losing. We gotta stop planning it for them.

@iamrahstradamus Football will be on everyday of the week at some point. That’s what they are aiming for and it’ll ruin it for me. What makes football so great is that it’s on once a week (MNF&TNF too) and I have something to look forward to. It’ll lose its luster if on everyday

I'm not a fan of this at all. Thanksgiving Eve is one of the best party days of the year. It's also a travel day for many people as they go home to see their family. I love the NFL but it doesn't need to completely monopolize our lives plus with so many games Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, that Sunday after Thanksgiving isn't as good.
