Garland did all he could. gotta respect it

[@stopnwatchentertainmentjdt9325]

2 late..he should have showed up earlier.. we all know he can ball and put up 40 plus points any giving sunday.. any night.. with or without D.M... they both needed to be a Tatum and Brown.. a LeBron and Kyrie... a Murray and Joker a Shaq and Kobe.. a Jordan and Pippin.. BUT they didnt.. they didn't gel or mix well at all this year.. for w.e fucking reason.. they played and looked more fun and better last year.. then they did this year. 🤦🤷🤷🤷

[@bryankarst3881]

@@stopnwatchentertainmentjdt9325 Exactly! This is where not only do we need regular season Darius but this is where he should elevate, put this team on his back, and take it to another level like Brunson is...we can't even get a consistent 20 points out of the face of the franchise. And the Garland apologists look at his salary!!

[@bryankarst3881]

He should have 30 minimum, and the team on his back!! He is getting paid over 20 million a year to be our killer...this is no Jalen Brunson. People have to stop acting like he is our little brother. We need him to take the team on his back. Also why are we not talking about his horrible D, mostly due to his size, but that is what you give up because he our number 1 creator on offense...and in the the playoffs....I don't even notice we he is on the bench

He is right. 7 freethrows and 2 were techs when they had 24. Smh

Keep ya head up DG you played a helluva a game. Keep fighting. Cavs in 7

Keep your head and spirit up DG - tough being down so many key pieces and getting an imbalanced whistle

[@IsSkyyyyyyyy9264]

Good game dg 🙏

[@kc0rock]

Frustrating game for fans to watch. Celtics 24 FT's to Cavs 7 not to mention the flagrant 1 that should had been called on Brown when he grabbed Strus's foot to trip him to the floor. Refs and NBA replay center a disgrace to the game.

I love DG and hes had a tough season. I hope he can get back to the DG all star player.

Darius Garland good game man way to be aggressive and get into the paint. man if there was a world where you end up on the spurs.. but im a cavs fan too so hey lets go! cavs in 7 we still in this

[@landboybeatz2004]

Crazy Boston was complaining about fouls and they were getting all of then smh NBA is rigged

[@clintonjustice5177]

Rigged is definitely the right word for it!!! 🙄🙄

[@FloydPhillipsII]

If Mitchell signs an extension in July, which he probably is for the $, DG is gone to Orlando, San Antonio, Phoenix etc. a team that has cap space and needs a pg...

[@nickgaynz]

NBA is rigged after Cavs playoffs finish I'm done with NBA 👍🏽

[@familyguy4547]

😂 no one cares

[@familyguy4547]

The foul discrepancy was only 5 they just weren’t shooting fouls. Cavaliers shot 16 more 3s than the Celtics had more points by only 4 than the Celtics in the paint due to the fouls. Refs for the most part let cavs be physical on D but at some point they got to hold themselves accountable they hacked way more than the Celtics in the paint and Garland says it himself Celtics sent three into the paint so they’d check it out for an open 3. You aren’t going to get a foul call for that.

[@ronaldresseger]

Okay so the Merrill 3 at half when he basically got tackled that wasn’t a shooting foul? Lmfao that’s 3 free throws right there like the 3 ball by dg at the end of the 3rd where he got hit on the hand by jrue that’s 3 free throws he didn’t get ball they replayed that as well that’s 6 points ON TWO PLAYS LIKE BFFR

[@familyguy4547]

@@ronaldresseger yep they could of called that one. They didn’t call a few when Tatum drove either and got hacked or bodied from the side.

[@ronaldresseger]

@@familyguy4547 bro you’re talking about a team that got 27 ft’s lol they had plenty of calls bud im talking about a team that got 3 calls essentially one was an and 1

[@familyguy4547]

@@ronaldresseger you can mention the free throws but the difference in foul calls was only 5.

[@FloydPhillipsII]

Here's my question, why can't Garland go for 30 WITH MITCHELL, instead of without?!?! Tatum & Brown (simultaneaously) have both gone for 30 in two games this series. Anyone know why? Please advise.

[@bradley.fronek]

they both are ball dominant. What i noticed is when he can play more freely and maybe miss a shot when donovan isn’t on the floor he keeps being aggressive vs when spida is in the floor and Dg misses sousa will always take the next shot and they can mess with confidence. I like the way Dg distributes more for the others Cavs compared to Spida but who knows man. Dg only 24 i really hope we keep developing him spida kinda stunted his growth Dg can be a tyrese maxey kind of guy for us

[@FloydPhillipsII]

@@bradley.fronek Did Bron stunt Kyrie growth? Nope. If you got it, you got it. DG good, but he ain't that guy...

[@ALIKIN12345]

​@@FloydPhillipsII Lmao comparing two different players is dumb ASF.... He just work more with the ball I'm his hands

[@RB20352]

thats mostly the coach problem he doesnt know how these two guys work together or mesh together. in regular season there are times garland and Mitchell working together that was pre injury garland where he averages 20pts per game meanwhile Mitchell averages 30+ at that time I think. This is my opinion only but I think the coach didn't utilized these two well. these two are coachable, both can score easily, both can shoot 3pts, its all about on the coach. look tatum and brown they are coachable also and their coach is not afraid to tell these two to like not to shoot the ball if these two are not shooting well. somewhat the game plan of JB Bickerstaff is to get the ball in the hands of Mitchell and let Mitchell do the scoring while garland do the facilitating partly the reason why garland stat diminished focused on facilitating than scoring. what should JB do is to balance the roles of these two since both Mitchell and garland are a threat in offense pplus these two are great playmakers so I know these two can mesh together

[@RB20352]

@@bradley.fronek he will be back next season. hes an all star for a reason and he deserve it.

[@AndrewPolander]

My biggest problem with DG moving forward is this...If DM signs Cavs must trade him!..(1)We need to get taller at the 3 and in the backcourt with DM as the pt. (2) Cavs need to get off of that awful Max/crippling contract moving forward. (3) DG needs the ball to be effective..that can't happen with DM here; there's only 1 ball.

[@ronaldresseger]

lol max isn’t crippling lmfao even on nights he doesn’t score the ball he’s still getting assists boards playing hard etc lol

[@fs6688]

Loser energy blaming the refs

[@AlejandroGonzalez-dw2on]

DG & IO has to go, undersize guard that can’t create for nobody and we all know about the NON-SHOOTER dammit how many open 3’s did he missed?

[@KadeForever]

Nah if yall had Jarrett and Mitch yall probably would have won

[@ronaldresseger]

Lmfao did you really say dg can’t create for others? You clearly do not know ball saying dumb shit like that lol Darius has good handles. Can get to the rim can get his own three and he is good at passing the ball as well so I don’t know how you think that he can’t create.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-dw2on]

@@ronaldresseger brother, every time dg drives to the basket it’s either a block or a miss and when he tries to pass it’s a turnover or deflection and if that’s not enough, his inconsistency is real… open your eyes and watch the game dummy
