Justin Termine: Is Donovan Mitchell Letting James Harden Take the Fall?
About this episode
The episode features Justin Termini discussing the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff struggles and the implications of a potential sweep.
The crew brings in Sirius XM's Justin Termini to break down Cleveland's dire 0-2 series deficit against Detroit, and the conversation gets dark fast. Termini doesn't sugarcoat it — he picked Detroit to win the series and sees no reason to change his mind, pointing to a Donovan Mitchell who looks like a shell of his playoff self from last year and a James Harden who keeps pulling the same disappearing act he's notorious for. The bigger question looming over everything: if this team gets swept, do the Cavs blow it all up — and would Evan Mobley even have enough trade value to make a move for someone like Giannis?
