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.
