not in a good way with his 35 shot zero assist effort. He got brutalized on Yahoo Sports. Holy Freeman Williams.

He can claim temporary possession by the ghost of Allen Iverson.
I think sometimes we forget Donovan is a young guy and like most young guys caught up in the moment he thinks that taking personal ownership is tantamount to doing everything yourself.
If Mitchell was of a different character I'd be concerned and waiting for the inevitable finger pointing because, you know, "I really, really want to win" (see Jimmy Butler) but I think we can look at last night as an aberration from someone who wouldn't accept mediocrity and just went about it in an extreme way.

Do you actually watch the games, or do you just view Donovan as an existential threat to your Simmons fandom?
Yeah, he should be more like Simmons in the playoffs and get 1 point and sit in the 4th quarter.

At least simmons is an unselfish player who plays for the team. The fact that Donovan had 35 shots attempt and zero assist tells you that he played for his point average, not for the team.

Yeah and we still almost won. Bricky Ricky did not help.
Would love to see your jock-riding in an alternate universe where Bill Simmons was an American and Donovan was an Aussie.
Yeah, there are lots of unselfish players that sit on the bench in the playoffs in the fourth quarter waving a towel to support their team unselfishly.
Donovan took the shots he was supposed to for the most part. When you are the primary responsibility for scoring on your team you have to shoot a lot. I wish more of them went in. I wish the guys he passed to like Ingles at the end of the game would have made their shots as well so he would have had more assists. oh well.

I enjoyed seeing him shoot it 35 times. He’s done a poor job at asserting himself in the offense more. Obviously, I’d have liked to see put up at a minimum of 40 points on 35 shots. Things need to be ironed out, he needs to stop doing kamikaze drives into the paint where he’s forced to take ridiculously looking prayers for shots, and find other shots. I just want to see him play smarter and more aggressive. He’s going to be dangerous when he figures out the nba game.
