Cleveland’s Core Four -- Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen -- have carried a heavy burden throughout the season and success is typically tied to them. And their workload is expected to increase.
Cleveland’s Core Four -- Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen -- have carried a heavy burden throughout the season and success is typically tied to them. They’re the team’s four leading scorers. Michell, Garland and Mobley have the three highest usage rates. Each member of the foursome is averaging at least 33 minutes, with Mitchell logging a career-high 35.4.
Garland, Mitchell, Mobley and Allen are all preparing in different ways. Cold tub sessions. Postgame lifts. Late-night workouts. Off-day management. Mitchell has a meticulous regimen with longtime personal trainer Murphy Grant. Allen chugs nutritional shakes after games. Mobley, focused on adding strength and bulk, eats a plate of pasta before games and downs creatine after.
The eighth and ninth spots -- primarily the backup forward spots -- will continue to fluctuate. It’s part of the reason veteran forward Kevin Love wanted a buyout, seeking a destination where he could have a defined role while receiving consistent playing time. Miami offered something Cleveland couldn’t.
But how much Wade plays is tough to predict. It feels matchup dependent. After four straight games of single-digit minutes -- one stint in the first half and then being benched in the second -- Wade played 25 minutes against the lengthy Raptors on Sunday. Even though Bickerstaff’s upbringing and stylistic choices often push him toward tall-ball groupings, he’s shown a willingness to downsize and adjust when the situation demands it.
The postseason is a chess game. It’s about creating advantages and mismatches. It takes guts. It takes creativity. It takes imagination. It takes flexibility.
