We have attempted more free throws than the Sixers and they’ve been called for more fouls. But please, continue with you fact free fantasy.

I’ll give him time. This team isn’t in its final form yet anyway.

We should be talking about him a lot.
He played another terrible game.
I get that his shooting percentage has been worse in other games.
But I thought he forced shots, his shot selection was terrible, and his inability to get to the line even once was inexcusable. Our #1 best athlete and weapon should never go an entire game without attempting a single free throw. That’s embarrassing.
Mitchell’s inability to be smart and dependable feeds the opponent’s fast break and leads to losses like these. When the other team goes on a run, we need Mitchell to calm us down, get some easy buckets, and get to the free throw line until others can pick up the slack.
Honestly, I thought our Australian duo outplayed Mitchell tonight. Both Jingles and Exum looked better and far more dependable.

Exum has two good consecutive games for the 5th time in his career and he looks “far more dependable”?
Look, Mitchell is struggling, but there’s no need to reach to state the point.

I'm curious just how much the injury last year set him back. As has been stated before he was in a walking boot most of the summer, then thrown into the season where he feels like he has to take on a major portion of the offense. His killer instinct may be detrimental on this occasion, he wants to win so badly he's pressing and in a lot of games isn't getting much help. I wish he'd let the game come to him a little more, and accept he can't do it all, no matter how badly he wants to.
I think it's been huge. Great points.
He's trying so hard to play loose. I feel for him. I still believe in him for sure, but damn he's had it rough.
