No Darius Garland. No Donovan Mitchell. No worries. #Cavs still have a third All-Star, future Hall of Famer and one of the East’s deepest rosters

#Cavs win 112-88 over the Pistons despite no Garland or Mitchell. Jarrett Allen had 23 points, Kevin Love had 21 points and 10 assists (!!) while a +30 in 23 minutes, Evan Mobley had eight blocks. They’ve won their last seven games since losing on opening night. – 9:19 PM

Bogey is 1-7 today. Pistons just don’t have the bodies to bang with Cleveland. Not a great night.
Detroit would have been better off if Allen-Mobley missed as opposed to Mitchell-Garland. – 8:30 PM

Only 11.6% of D’Angelo Russell’s 3-point attempts have come off of a Rudy Gobert screen, per Synergy.
Last season 42.3% of Mike Conley’s 3s came off a Gobert screen and 41.3% of Donovan Mitchell’s 3s came off a Gobert screen.

Finished my BOS-CLE re-watch. Some Cavs thoughts:
-Garland is really good
-Mitchell is getting after it on defense
-Mobley is a game-changer on defense
-Closing group is a bit awkward. Should LeVert close or a defender?
-Staggering Garland & Mitchell will help offense lulls – 8:48 AM

Donovan Mitchell has not attempted a free throw tonight. He’s got 23 points on 10-of-23 shooting. He played in seven games last year for Utah without a free throw attempt. – 10:04 PM

I would call that pretty bad offense by Donovan Mitchell but he nails the shot anyway. He’s been terrific down the stretch. – 10:00 PM

Great recognition by Garland, spotting Horford getting switched onto Mitchell and getting Mitchell the ball quick. Mitchell is so lethal off the bounce – 10:00 PM

Looks like the Cavs were trying to run a Hammer play. Smart saw it coming & draw a charge on Garland 50 feet away from the ball. pic.twitter.com/Aitr6z983Z – 9:59 PM

Donovan Mitchell — who has been pretty good defensively — just made a really nice rotation and drew an offensive foul in which he took an elbow from Jaylen Brown to the face roughly nine feet above the playing surface. – 9:58 PM

LeVert does too much dribbling to nowhere. Mitchell does some of that, but he often creates something. Garland just gets it and makes something happen. – 9:50 PM

Darius Garland went stumbling into the crowd and had to hobble back up the court. Looks like he’s favoring his left leg.. – 9:48 PM

#Cavs lead the Celtics 83-76 here after three quarters. Garland has been fantastic in his return from his eye injury. Mitchell not having his best night, but strong defense held Boston to just 20 points in the 3rd quarter. Jaylen Brown has 24 for Boston, Garland has 23 for Cavs. – 9:31 PM

More on this storyline
The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without both starting guards on Friday night against the Detroit Pistons. Sources tell cleveland.com that Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell, listed as questionable going into the night, won’t play because of injuries suffered in Wednesday’s hard-fought win over the Boston Celtics. Garland has a sprained left knee while Mitchell sprained his left ankle. Neither are believed to be serious injuries. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / November 4, 2022
With the All-Star backcourt unavailable, the Cavs will move Caris LeVert to point guard and re-insert Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade into the starting lineup, sources say. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / November 4, 2022
During an episode of “The Big Podcast,” O’Neal admitted that he has questioned Mitchell’s ability to carry a team before. When his co-host Nischelle Turner pushed back on that take, O’Neal pumped the brakes by claiming that Mitchell is only doing this in the regular season. -via CavaliersNation.com / November 4, 2022
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs list both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland as questionable for tomorrow night’s game in Detroit. Garland is listed with a left knee sprain while Mitchell is listed with a left ankle sprain. -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / November 3, 2022
