Donovan Mitchell was incredibly emotional on Tuesday evening with the season, one of the best in the history of Cleveland Cavaliers, now officially behind him.

Mitchell and the cavaliers were neglected.

That of their series on Tuesday and secured their second journey in a row to the Eastern Conference final. Mitchell and the Cavaliers, who deserved the top seeds in the conference, let it go home early.

“I just couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it, I don't want to believe it, still doesn't want to believe it,” said Mitchell. “It's hard. It is difficult to win in this league … We didn't make it, especially at home. That hurts, do you know?”

Mitchell had 35 points and nine rebounds for Cleveland on Tuesday evening. He scored an average of 34.2 points in the series and fought against an apparent ankle injury in the last two games. He left game 5 after missing the entire second half of game 4 with the same edition on Sunday. The 28-year-old Mitchell signed a contract extension of three years by $ 150 million last summer.

It is difficult to consider a trip to the second round of the playoffs as a failure, but it is easy to see why many see this season as exactly that for Cleveland. After the Cavaliers started the season with 15 victories in a row, they won 64 games in the regular season. This is the second highest in the team history and only the third season of the franchise franchise.

But the Cavaliers fell completely flat in their series with the Pacers, who won all three games in the Rocket Arena in Ohio, and had little problems winning.

In order to make things worse for Mitchell, when Kendrick Perkins quickly referred to this from ESPN on social media, he never made it into a conference final in his career. He also lost twice in this round with the jazz of Utah.

Despite the loss and criticism, which will certainly come in the coming days and weeks, Mitchell does not yet give up hope. Together with team owner Dan Gilbert, he swore back.

“You will write down the F ** K, man. But we will be back,” said Mitchell. “We let the city down, we let each other down. But we will be back.”
