Donovan Mitchell Would Not Start for Either Finals Team

I can see Mitchell starting on the Celtics, makes sense for me

For the Warriors, not so much, he and Curry don't convince me as a duo
 
How surprised would you guys be if I told you since Donovan came in the league that the difference between Rudy and Donovan’s points per possession allowed when playing isolation defense in the playoffs was a difference of only 0.14?
You understand over 100 possessions that's 14 points. So like the difference between a team scoring 86 vs 100 aka a huge difference
 
This thread is kind of silly because if either team had Mitchell, their roster construction would look different. His scoring is good enough to be the best offensive player on a title team.
Then they would not make the finals

Marcus Smart would make Donnie cry. Payton Pritchard got more clutch ability tbh
 
Donovan can play defense. We have all seen it.
It’s getting increasingly more difficult to have a conversation with you or, at least try and sound somewhat intelligent. Saying we’ve all seen Donovan play defense is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, because that’s far and few between all the rest of the highlights of watching his guy go right by or just standing there taking up space. The question isn’t whether he can play defense, the question is how often does he choose to play defense which is far and few between. I mean your come back really can’t be we’ve all seen him play defense. Is this thread a troll thread sure in a lot of ways it is, but there’s a lot of truth to what Cy says. These teams might actually be better off with Donovan on the bench as opposed to starting. Would he come off the bench for both of these teams probably not. As offense is valued more among NBA circles. But don’t come on here and defend Mitchell by saying he plays defense, That’s an insult to our intelligence

Lol this is 100% not a troll thread. The last few post are trolling, but I sincerely think neither team would start Mitchell and both would start Gobert.
 
It's also crazy that the Mitchell stans think Mitchell can play defense, but then are shocked by the fact Gobert is one of the best isolation defenders in the NBA.

They clearly don't even watch the Jazz play. It's sad. Everything I say about Mitchell is rooted in facts.

No, I believe you, but all these Don fans/ none jazz fans believe otherwise, and even if this was a troll thread there’s 100% viability to your argument. Sometimes you need to come at the idiots from other angles. For example LoPo defending Mitchell by saying something idiotic like we’ve all seen Don play defense as if that makes what DM does on defense ok.

But let’s be honest… this was a kill two birds with one stone, lol. Both truth and a troll job, because you fully know what this thread would do to LoPo. Haha
