Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Mon May 11 2026
Description: Lima and Daryl can't wrap their heads around Donovan Mitchell handing the ball to 36-year-old James Harden in crunch time after a virtuoso offensive performance — and question whether that's a sustainable recipe.

Until Mitchell and Mobley start finishing games, the Cavs' playoff ceiling remains the same as it's been for years.
