Do these clowns watch the games, harden played a good 1sr quarter then was terrible. Mitchell was terrible the whole game. Cavs win because of Mobley and shoder. Cavs r closing it out in Toronto

Yall really need to fix the titles of these videos or split them up. The title would imply this is a Harden/ Cavs video. How would anybody know your talking about the Pistons ?

Orlando played away like garbage down 17 and missed half their free throws, and still could have won.

Stephen A is a massive Cleveland hater so I’m not surprised by this take but for once I agree with him. I think this series is going 7 games and I’m a Cavs fan. The Cavs have a lot of work to do if they want any hope of beating getting out of the East.

Context Cleveland won with
Scottie Barnes playing on 1 leg could barely sit on the bench in a timeout
Ingram out the 2nd half
And the raptors in starting pg quickley out the whole series
If anybody is impressed or confident with the Cavs your straight up delusional

I was there that night at Game 6 vs. Spurs when they made a HORRENDOUS DECISION to go with that Small Ball lineup. He disappeared. But showed up at V-LIVE stripclub and put in more effort throwing $$$,$$$ at the strippers!

Devin Booker and the Suns hold the cards as to where he’s gonna go but I’ll say let him test FA this off-season then if nothing works make some changes to the roster

Cavs better not mess around and close this out on Fri. I am highly concern because of Harden track record. And the Cavs tendency to fall asleep at the wheel during games.

Raptors almost won without 2 starters an injured Scottie Barnes and several non calls by the refs including a critical hack from Harden that couldve been ruled a flagrant
