He’s a native New Yorker who was chased by the Knicks last year in failed trade negotiations and, as sources stated, remains on team president Leon Rose’s radar. Josh Hart, who is close to Mitchell, understands. “Those are never going to go away,” Hart said. “He’s from New York. New York is never going to let that go away. So you’ll never know what happens. That’s for the future, that’s for Knicks Twitter to talk about, and have rumors about, and put up stats of God knows what. But everyone knows that will be an underlying thing.”

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas joins Stephen Curry (twice), Luka Doncic, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, and Zach LaVine to score 30+ points in each of their team’s first three games since the 2018-19 season. He’s the second-youngest to do so behind Shaquille O’Neal. pic.twitter.com/xtHmF7Yzhc – 9:36 PM

#Cavs Isaac Okoro temporarily became a Heat fan. Donovan Mitchell heard about it all summer, as he spent the offseason in Connecticut. Darius Garland didn’t pick up a ball for about 6 weeks. The Knicks playoff loss lingered. Revenge is on the mind Tuesday

And now Herb Jones comes up with a block of Josh Hart’s 3-point attempt. Jones has so looked the part of DPOY candidate in this quarter. – 8:54 PM

Tyrese Haliburton is expected to play after dealing with a stomach bug.
And while nothing is official, it doesn’t sound like Donovan Mitchell will be available. – 6:03 PM

Cavs coach JB Bickerstaff wouldn’t say – it’s not in his nature – but it doesn’t sound like Donovan Mitchell will play. His hamstring cramped up Friday night. Craig Porter Jr. anyone? – 5:59 PM

Stefan Bondy: Tristan Thompson did not like the comparison to Josh Hart with their rebounding today: “Me and Josh Hart similarities with offensive rebounding? You should’ve used Pat Beverly as a comparison. Me and Josh Hart rebounding-wise? No. That’s like a filet and a sirloin steak.” -via Twitter @SBondyNYDN / October 30, 2023
It should be noted that the NBA already had a rule to fine floppers but it was rarely enforced. The new wrinkle is an in-game flopping technical, which was whistled against Jalen Brunson in the Boston opener. The NBA’s referees, through their Twitter account, acknowledged the call was a mistake and Brunson’s fall was legitimate. “Whenever there’s a new rule, you’re always going to see a lot of them at the beginning of the year. And the league kind of sends a message early and then kind of gets back to feeling it out,” Hart said. “It’s a feelout process.Like I said, it’s new, new for us, new for the officials. Just as we’ve got to get used to it the refs got to get used to it. So we’ll see how it is.”Asked for his thoughts on the new flopping emphasis, Brunson added, “I just think everybody needs to be on the same page. That’s all.” -via New York Post / October 28, 2023
