‘It’s outrageous’: Donovan Mitchell sounds off on inconsistent officiating against Cavs​



“We’re second in the league in drives per game and we’re not getting any foul calls,” Mitchell said passionately — and accurately. “I’ve been quiet about it for a long time. Tonight, I almost lost my mind out there. D.G. had no free throws. I had six. Four late in the game. J.A. (Jarrett Allen) had two. Ev (Evan Mobley) had (three). For us to be the team that we are, to drive and not get foul calls, it’s crazy.

“The refereeing has been so inconsistent, especially against us. There needs to be consistency. I’m proud of the way we were fighting through it, and I told my guys I was going to be the one to say something about it, don’t even complain, but it’s getting out of hand, it’s getting crazy.

“They need to tighten up. I’m probably going to get fined for it. But it’s outrageous.”

According to internal team tracking data, the Cavs have the league’s lowest percentage of fouls called on their drives despite ranking second in drives per game, trailing just the Oklahoma City Thunder in that category. Cleveland is 26th in free throw attempts per game, with Mitchell averaging a career-low 3.6. Only once has he finished under 4.0 — his rookie season in Utah. Garland, who ranks top 15 in total drives, is averaging a miniscule 1.6 freebies.

I'd be a bit concerned if I was a Mavs fan.....15th in offense was not the plan coming into the season

Not the end all be all but let’s wait until Luka Legend stops shooting 40% FG and 32% 3PT from not playing at all in preseason and not being as active in training camp before we start to worry about the Mavs’ offense

If it’s January then I’ll allow it
