Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell Gets Real on Disappointing Season

The Cleveland Cavaliers undoubtedly didn't finish with the results they wanted to this past NBA season, starting off with an impressive 60-plus win regular season to rank atop the Eastern Conference and ending with a second-round exit that took them out of the postseason mix early vs. the Indiana Pacers.

For the Cavaliers, it's far from a secret that this season wasn't the most ideal–– something that's certainly true for star guard Donovan Mitchell, who's been vocal about the disappointing results of this past season for Cleveland since being taken out, and has kept that same energy even into summer league.

During the Cavaliers' second game of summer league in Las Vegas, Mitchell joined the broadcast to sound off on his takeaways from this past postseason, noting it as both a learning experience and recognizing the shortcomings he and the roster encountered.

"When you're in hindsight, it's always like, 'okay, we've taken a step. You need this to take it to the next level," Mitchell stated. "But, to be honest with you, and I think we all feel this way, it was a letdown for us, man. We let ourselves down. We let the city down. We let the organization down. We all felt it... Everything lined up for us to do that, and we didn't take care of business. So, that's the failure on our part. So, now the biggest thing is, take it, use it as fuel."
