Cavs definitely look better but they are still the 4th best team in the East probably record wise unless Harden don't play than 3rd
Thatās crazy. Celtics in 5
It's obviously the Blazers…
I think Bates will make an impact on this team as a rookie
As long as the cavs have Spida they can expect first round exists and choke jobs
Knicks already packed them up once, JJ hates us but I love JJ. cold world
Not big enough…they cant rebound….knocks made them look like children they had nonshot that series
Cavs can win the East. Have everything they need, gonna come down to guys living up to their potential or not.
Hustle and defense works everywhere
It all comes down to Evan Mobley and whether or not he takes that next step
The title made me think JJ blazed a big J for a momentš
Mobley DPOY season.
Greatšŗ
Power house till thereās a guy whoās 10lbs heavier than Mobley, canāt handle physicality at all
Frontcourt cant shoot backcourt cant defend and they added average defenders in wing shooters. Pains me to even say this as a heat fan but what is stopping the knicks from repeating that series
They aight but they aināt realā¦
I think that in the east there are many teams that are gonna get good placement during regular season, but when playoff time comes, they are gonna get destroyed by celtics and bucks.
There will be a championship caliber team in the West that gets bounced starting from the second round.
He's high on the Cavs bc the season hasn't started and it sounds like one of those out on a limb hot takes… so if they end up having a good season he can look back and tell everyone how smart he is. Knowing it's such a ridiculous take ppl won't take him too serious to really think he believes it… bc he doesn't… to roast him when they do play bad. Classic
That front court got destroyed by mitchell robinson š¤£ donovan is counting the days till his contract is up
Can't beat the heat in a playoff series since no one on this team can guard jimmy butler and miami's zone will shut-down donovan mitchell completely. Also the cavs need another playmaker at the wing as well as a big who can score like an embiid or jokic in order to truly contend.
Get Kevin Pelton on the podcast and push back on his model, please.
good to see tommy back on the show
no I donāt think they are but I hope I am wrong
More competition is always better
I have 0 faith in the Cavs, they got a nice team tho
Not a Cavs fan, but I really like their off-season.
I hope Strus becomes like Kings' Kevin Huerter or somewhere close to that level.
He just needs to be more consistent in shooting the 3-ball as well as doing tons of cutting to create great opportunities for both Mitchell and Garland on offense.
I'm also high on Merrill, Bates, and Craig Porter Jr. in terms of giving some scoring off the bench while the starters are resting.
J.J Reddik has a good / top tier sports podcast.
