It’s pretty crazy to me that Denver is running away with the title with all the major pieces they had when we played them in the bubble. I mean, that core is the same core that we probably should’ve beaten in 6 or 7 games. My how the two franchises sure have taken completely different paths. It’s a shame Rudy never developed more of an offensive game. It’s a shame Mitchell never attempted to play defense. And it’s a shame we never could make the minor moves like Denver did to surround their stars with tough role players to put them over the top.
Sad to me that the Gobert/Mitchell era ended with zero to show for it. Meanwhile, neither are playing for teams headed anywhere. Cleveland isn’t even close to winning a title and minny is probably closer to winning the lottery than winning the title.
