• I think the fact we only lost by one point and a heroic shot by Mitchell, while our starters were having an off night speaks some volumes.

  • Cam Thomas was downright awesome. If Mikal wasn’t so sloppy in the first half, him and Thomas could’ve sealed a W up.

  • Simmons didn’t do a thing on offense, but man, 10 boards and 9 dimes is nothing to sneeze at.

  • Our bench just in general looks really solid. This may be the first team in NBA history where the bench players consistently save the starters every night, lol.

  • We outrebounded the Cavs 50 to 38.

    This feels like 2018-19 all over again where losses and wins will be by slim margins, but they definitely worked their asses off. This team could be a scrappy, blue-collar team that fights and it’ll take until at least around early December for it all to click, but I wasn’t entirely disappointed last night. On paper, the Cavs had significant advantages and we hung in there, especially when down at times. (Side note: Maybe we don’t need Ben Simmons to be Old Ben Simmons again, maybe we need him to be our PJ Tucker?)

    That shot by Mitchell was not heroic. It was a wide open practice shot because Cam Johnson likes to flop instead of playing defense. It reminded me of the shot Luka had on him in the playoffs.
