Four consecutive defeats have certainly raised eyebrows among fans as the Cleveland Cavaliers were dominating the league with the highest wins this season. Cavs standout Donovan Mitchell has some blame to put on himself as the 28-year-old guard made a candid admission with NSFW words. Following the Cavs' defeat at the PHX Arena in Phoenix, Mitchell took most of the blame for the team’s sudden yet surprising downfall.

Make no mistake, despite four consecutive losses Cleveland Cavaliers are still on the top of the Eastern Conference standings with 56 wins and 14 defeats so far. However, their recent fall in the winning streak has been a huge concern just ahead of the playoffs. Donovan Mitchell who has been a standout star for the team has recently made an NSFW comment to his name which sparks discussion among fans.

Mitchell had a tough night in the Cavaliers’ 123-112 loss on Friday, shooting just 2-of-18 (11.1%) from the field and missing all eight of his three-point attempts.
He finished with seven points, going 3-of-4 (75%) from the free-throw line. In 30 minutes and 43 seconds of play, he also contributed four rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two turnovers while posting a minus-9 rating.

"I’m gonna put this on me," Mitchell told Cleveland.com. "When your leader ain’t doing sh*t, this is what happens. If I’m not being who I need to be, then we not gonna get to where we want to get to. I will be better.”,” he added taking the blame on himself with the NSFW word.

I’ll figure it the f*ck out for everybody. It’s just one of those moments. This builds character. As much as this sucks, I’d rather have this happen today. I work too damn hard to just give in to this but just gotta keep pushing, keep plugging. I’ll be better. I have no doubt but until I am, here we are," he added.
During the Cavaliers’ ongoing losing streak, Mitchell has struggled to a concerning level, shooting just 29.6% (24-for-81) from the field and a dismal 16.2% (6-for-37) from beyond the arc.
