Let's shift over to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
00:02
They're beating teams any which way possible, coach,
00:04
which means if they need to drop 125, 130 to 135,
00:08
they can do that.
00:08
They want to hold you to 100 points,
00:10
they can do that as well, which they did yesterday.
00:12
A 112, 100 win.
00:13
These are the wins I like, coach,
00:15
because you don't bring your A game.
00:16
You shoot 44% from the floor
00:18
and still win by double digits.
00:20
The depth of the Cleveland Cavaliers is impressive.
00:22
They handled the Bucs yesterday.
00:24
The sky's the limit, coach.
00:25
25 and six, not at home,
00:27
on the road for the Cavaliers this year.
00:30
And I think the thing, we've talked about this,
00:33
what's so impressive about what's going on in Cleveland
00:36
is the fact that it's not just Donovan Mitchell.
00:39
Take for this, folks,
00:40
out of the 15 to 14 game winning streak,
00:42
they've had five different players
00:45
lead the teams in scoring, lead the team in scoring.
00:47
So now you're looking at a team where,
00:49
listen, we don't get the best performance
00:53
out of our superstar player, right?
00:55
But you get other guys that would turn around and step up.
00:59
And then for the case of yesterday,
01:01
it was Max Drews with 17 points,
01:02
offsetting the four of 15 for Donovan Mitchell.
01:05
They have five guys in double figures.
01:07
And I think that is what makes them so scary, Donny,
01:09
is when you look at these teams, right?
01:11
And I think you have it mostly with,
01:14
you have Boston in a sense, right?
01:15
With their big four, maybe Horford gets going,
01:18
maybe big five, you know, pretty good what he can do.
01:20
But you look at Cleveland and they are literally nine deep
01:24
and any one of those guys can get you.
01:27
That makes it overly difficult as a coach to scout.
01:32
Why? Because you're like, all right,
01:34
we take away Mitchell.
01:34
Well, then we're going to go to Mobley.
01:35
You take away Mobley.
01:36
They're inside the alley.
01:37
We take away Allen.
01:38
Now it's going to Garland, right?
01:39
Then it's going to Drews.
01:40
And we haven't even got to the bench of Dean Wade,
01:42
of DeAndre Hunter, of Isaac O'Connor,
01:44
of Ty Jerome, of Sam Merrill.
01:47
Like, they hit you in waves, Donny.
01:50
And that's what makes them impressive is,
01:51
you said it best.
01:53
They can outscore you.
01:54
They can outgrind you.
01:55
Whatever they need to do,
01:57
Kenny Atkinson has done a magnificent job
02:00
this year in Cleveland.
