00:00Let's shift over to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

00:02They're beating teams any which way possible, coach,

00:04which means if they need to drop 125, 130 to 135,

00:08they can do that.

00:08They want to hold you to 100 points,

00:10they can do that as well, which they did yesterday.

00:12A 112, 100 win.

00:13These are the wins I like, coach,

00:15because you don't bring your A game.

00:16You shoot 44% from the floor

00:18and still win by double digits.

00:20The depth of the Cleveland Cavaliers is impressive.

00:22They handled the Bucs yesterday.

00:24The sky's the limit, coach.

00:2525 and six, not at home,

00:27on the road for the Cavaliers this year.

00:30And I think the thing, we've talked about this,

00:33what's so impressive about what's going on in Cleveland

00:36is the fact that it's not just Donovan Mitchell.

00:39Take for this, folks,

00:40out of the 15 to 14 game winning streak,

00:42they've had five different players

00:45lead the teams in scoring, lead the team in scoring.

00:47So now you're looking at a team where,

00:49listen, we don't get the best performance

00:53out of our superstar player, right?

00:55But you get other guys that would turn around and step up.

00:59And then for the case of yesterday,

01:01it was Max Drews with 17 points,

01:02offsetting the four of 15 for Donovan Mitchell.

01:05They have five guys in double figures.

01:07And I think that is what makes them so scary, Donny,

01:09is when you look at these teams, right?

01:11And I think you have it mostly with,

01:14you have Boston in a sense, right?

01:15With their big four, maybe Horford gets going,

01:18maybe big five, you know, pretty good what he can do.

01:20But you look at Cleveland and they are literally nine deep

01:24and any one of those guys can get you.

01:27That makes it overly difficult as a coach to scout.

01:32Why? Because you're like, all right,

01:34we take away Mitchell.

01:34Well, then we're going to go to Mobley.

01:35You take away Mobley.

01:36They're inside the alley.

01:37We take away Allen.

01:38Now it's going to Garland, right?

01:39Then it's going to Drews.

01:40And we haven't even got to the bench of Dean Wade,

01:42of DeAndre Hunter, of Isaac O'Connor,

01:44of Ty Jerome, of Sam Merrill.

01:47Like, they hit you in waves, Donny.

01:50And that's what makes them impressive is,

01:51you said it best.

01:53They can outscore you.

01:54They can outgrind you.

01:55Whatever they need to do,

01:57Kenny Atkinson has done a magnificent job

02:00this year in Cleveland.
