Jason Timpf reacts to Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers' 129-122 win over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jason discusses Darius Garland delivering once again, why Jarrett Allen needs to be reevaluated as one of the league's best centers, and what Evan Mobley did better against the Thunder than he has in any game of his career. Later, Jason shares four takeaways from the past week including why he's tired of people giving up on Anthony Edwards, what Victor Wembanyama must improve on to become the best player in the world, and why he expects the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns to be just fine despite their current slumps.
