Do you think that, so I was watching the Cavs at 31 and four and people say that they can't
00:08
even come close to beating the Knicks or the Celtics in the East.
00:15
Meanwhile, 31 and four, how can you say that about a team that has been this together,
00:21
this well coached, this, you know, winning, like all they do is win.
00:26
How can you say the Cavs aren't for real?
00:28
Well, very simply put, Farrell, they're not in a major media market.
00:32
If the Celtics were 31 and four, or the Knicks were 31 and four, or the Lakers were 31 and
00:38
four, they'd be minus money to win the NBA title.
00:40
I mean, let's just call it what it is.
00:42
So, they're beating everyone, it don't matter.
00:44
You go on a road trip and you beat Denver, Golden State, Lakers, and then Dallas, and
00:49
you win all four of those games by double digits?
00:51
Like, how can you tell me that they're not the best team in the Eastern Conference?
00:55
Listen, simply put, Kenny Atkinson's done a fantastic job.
00:58
Farrell, as the Knicks are one of these teams that are top heavy, this team is the sum of
01:04
their parts.
01:05
You look at the fact that Donovan Mitchell's scoring is down, it's only at 23.43 points
01:09
per game.
01:10
But you have him, Garland, Mobley, all getting you about 19+.
01:13
And then you still have Niang, Jerome, Leverton, Allen getting you between 9 and 14.
01:19
Farrell, that means they're tough to guard.
01:22
And that doesn't include when you get O'Connor back defensively.
01:25
So, to me, and Matt Struess has been in and out of the lineup.
01:27
This team is so well coached, they're balanced, and they defend.
01:31
We need to put a little bit more respect on the Cleveland Cowboys team.
01:35
A team that has won in New York and has beat the Celtics already this year.
