But you're going to see a bunch of guys.

Ron Holland might come alive.

Javante Green to just try and get in front of him, like Barnes and Jacoby Walter did, just not allowing him to get into his shot.

So that game, that series started that way.

But at the same time, the Detroit Pistons are good at taking away the lane.

They're so good at taking away the lane.

And that's where Mitchell can thrive.

The Magic only shot 45.6% in the paint against Detroit, the worst shooting of any series in seven years, according to John Schumann.

So that's where the Cavs can can do well.

But I do think Evan Mobley, Jared Allen can be overplayed in the paint, too.

I think the Pistons, I know it's kind of hard to envision or feel that they're working or that they're clicking.

But the Jalen Duren combos with the Sark Thompson mainly can overplay them.

So, I mean, that's what's going to come down to me.

It's in the paint.

And that's where Donovan Mitchell wants to get.

Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

I'll stick with those guys that you just mentioned.

Tobias Harris, I don't think he's going to be able to go off against Evan Mobley, who's going to be matched up with him primarily.

Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

That's a lot of length, great defensive player, even though he was questionable through the first five games of that Toronto Raptors series, just wasn't playing like himself.

No Dunks
Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

His defense was there, and he's still going to be really good against Tobias Harris.

Wolves Bite First, Knicks On Fire, Semifinal Previews For Pistons-Cavs, Thunder-Lakers

So the question of who's going to help the Pistons, I don't know.
