Yeah, he didn't see the nut shot.

New pick-up. First card in a Cavs jersey, historic NBA moment, and I was at this game...

What is not to love?

Hell yeah dude!!! I’m still waiting on mine in the mail. Only 281 of them got made, kind of a nice sleeper card. Congrats on getting that and how cool you were at the game too!

We haven't gotten a ton of TV time this year. If we make some waves in the playoffs that may change. Though, I do like listening to the homerism of the Carr, Daugherty, and John Michael.

me too, but it’s fun to occasionally hear the national announcers talk about them…

As a mifchell fan first, I’ve been very blessed with home team broadcasts. I loved Craig Bolerjack with Matt Harpring/Thurl Bailey.. but I’ve also grown to love John Michael and Carr/Daugherty. I like when Mike Fratello blesses them with an appearance too.

Side note: great game for Spida tonight. Him and Mobley absolutely destroyed the pelicans.

A rare Donny Bravo double double with rebounds. 29-10-6 with 2 blocks and a steal.

Good win vs the Bulls on a back to back. The game last night was just starting lol.

Watching the game, it was a very quiet 40 piece (last time I said that I was talking about Cavs LeBron). Crazy how good he is.

[RedMike]

D Mitch has been really solid and team should contender pretty well in the East.

[PKIPP]

Mitchell with his 8th 40 point game of the season last night and 3rd against the Celtics.. sheesh!

Averaging 31.3 in the last 10 games since fully healing from that groin injury, and 30 in the 6 since the all star game.

Need to keep this up and help the Cavs get to at least 50 wins and keep that 4 seed.. would be great to move up to the 3 but tough to see that happening at this point.

I wish I could read lips. I would have loved to have known what he said to Grant Williams before those free throws last night.

Haha. Williams sure knows how to eat his words I’ll give him that!

I'm a Celtics fan, from Boston. And I do not understand how Tatum has about 5-10x the hype and card value as Mitchell does. Donovan Mitchell was a top tier defender in Utah and now is the 7th ppg leader in the league on top of this and is closing out games and is the guy there, on an inferior team to BOS.

I'm a big fan. I bought a prizm auto rookie of his last night, not sure it was the best set but I wanted to get an auto it was prizm signatures? Less than 200 dollars not a bad price. I got a mosaic psa 9 rookie also for about 25-30 bucks.

I sort of "sniped" a PC piece too earlier this week, the holo/shimmer/hobby version of the 2017 draft lottery card from contenders, I really like the powerball design on it so it will be in my PC, got it for 5 bucks on ebay. Really like it.

Yeah, I agree. I keep an eye on them both and most Mitchell stuff is about 30-50% what Tatum is. Its a shame cause I like Tatum cards but for what I have been slowly buying I've seen Tatum raw cards go for the same price as Giannis raw cards which blows my mind. It's gotta be the Boston effect. So many Celtics hardcores compared to Utah/Cleveland/Milwaukee.

44 points last night for his 10th 40 point game this season.

Also became the 4th fastest active player to 10k points.

Four straight 40+ games for Spida!

[Potgut]

Yup, Donovan Mitchell is first player to score 40+ points in 4 consecutive games this season, the first to do it since James Harden in the 2018-19 season. The 5th player to do it in the last 30 years (The others being Allen Iverson, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Kobe Bryant)

Mitchell is the first player in Cavs history to record 40+ PTS in 3 straight games (Mitchell has now done it 4 straight games)

Let’s not forget, he broke Lebron James Cavs single season record for 40 point games. And these 4 consecutive games all came during the most crucial part of the season to lock up home-court advantage in the playoffs.

He’s always been a big time playoff performer but this year looks like he’s locked in early.

I like the Cavs chances, I really do. Especially if Caris Levert keeps playing well off the bench. Def need to get Okoro back ASAP though. Hope he’s ready by playoffs.

It's a cool run, but I just don't see the Cavs getting past the big dogs of the East.

-We're still 21-26 vs teams .500 and above
-Have depth issues (Especially if Okoro is out)
-Haven't found a guy who can make the final shot to tie or win the game

But that's okay. Getting 50 wins is a big accomplishment for this team this season. A round 1 win would be a huge success. I just don't see us being able to keep up with a team like the Bucks in round 2.

Did Donovan Mitchell stop signing cards around 2020?

• 2019-20 (and years before) Both Mitchell's on-card and sticker autos were available
• 2020-21 Donovan Mitchell's only auto cards were sticker autographs (Maybe panini was just using his remaining leftover sticker autos they had saved up)
• 2021-22 No Donovan Mitchell autos on any release
• 2022-23 So far no Donovan Mitchell Auto cards

Am I wrong?

If not, what could be the reason for him to stop signing cards be?

Interesting. I did not notice that. Maybe he just got tired of it and decided when they asked him to re-sign his contract for use of his auto, he declined? I wouldn’t blame him when you see his many autos he had to produce for them lol.

Very weird either way. Maybe he signed some kinda fanatics exclusive deal that won’t let him sign for products until they officially take over nba card production? Or something like that?

Last night Mitchell had a career high of 13 assists. On top of that even before last nights game Donovan Mitchell is up to 1,143 career playoff points. The only players with more through their first 40 postseason games:

• Michael Jordan
• Wilt Chamberlain
• Elgin Baylor
• Allen Iverson
• Oscar Robertson
• Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Yup. Unfortunately it's just a popularity contest. Tatum, Doncic, Zion who did nothing basically for awhile and finally tanked down. Ball.

I'd say Mitchell should be right there in value with those names, but he's just not as popular for whatever reason. Probably due to playing in Utah and CLE and just not having a super flashy play style (defensive heavy in UTA, still) or hyped draft profile.
