On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the Cavs win in Philly without Donovan Mitchell. Will Evan Mobley ever make the offensive leap? Is this team better without Mitchell? Craig Porter, Jr.? Next they look at the rise of OKC and Minnesota in the West. Chet and Shai's shooting leads the Thunder while Anthony Edwards takes the reins of the Wolves' offense and Rudy anchors the D.

Is Indiana legit? Their offense yes, the defense...no. What is wrong in Detroit? What does Charlotte have? Timeless Lebron... and more form around the league.
