Bao Renjun wrote: The three of Green Kai have made a force, White has not yet made a force, the Cavaliers only have Mitchell, Garland has been pitted throughout the playoffs, and Mobley has a hard and soft game.
Mitchell averaged 36.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4.2 three-pointers per game in the last five games, with a true shooting rate of 63.3%, and the Cavaliers are 3-2 to show how stretched the Cavaliers' hips.
The probability that the Celtics will advance to the Eastern Conference finals is already as high as 76.6%, and it is clear that ESPN is bullish on Green Kai.
