00:00Love what I am seeing from the Cleveland Cavaliers and continue to believe that this team is going to win the NBA championship.
00:08I think what makes Cleveland so interesting is, Kevin, they really are to some of their parts, right?
00:15Look at a team with a superstar, a top 20 player in the world in Donovan Mitchell.
00:20You would look at them and say, well, if Donovan Mitchell, you know, doesn't go off, we can't win.
00:27I think it's the exact opposite.
00:28I think when Donovan Mitchell isn't going off, I think the Cavs are more dangerous.
00:33And that's what I've seen.
00:35Like, you know, tight game, game one.
00:37You know, Ty Jerome, how you doing?
00:39Six or seven from the floor, close the game out.
00:41Evan Mobley gives you 20 last game.
00:4321 out of Garland.
00:44They are so dangerous.
00:48And to me, when Kenny Atkinson got the job in Cleveland, I really looked at it as like,
00:54can he be a guy, kind of like a Mike Brown when he first got to Sacramento,
00:59who loses a job, goes to Steve Kerr, learns that split-screen action,
01:05really, really good at player development, and then off they go.
01:10Here's the thing.
01:11Miami is not a – to me, Miami is not a 10-team.
01:14Miami's a team that just, you know, limped their way into the playoffs
01:18because they had to figure out what out Jimmy Butler.
01:21But with Spostrow, with Bam, with Hero, with some of those guys,
01:26they're so – they're still incredibly dangerous, and we'll see,
01:30and we'll talk a lot about it, you know, now in, you know, this show about
01:34can they get a game?
01:37I think Cleveland may be more battle-tested than people think.
01:41I would say this, and this may be a crazy take.
01:45I think that Miami could give them a harder time than, like,
01:49if they played Milwaukee, if Milwaukee found a way to win their series,
01:51which I don't, right?
01:52I think they could give them a harder time than Indiana because the fact –
01:56the toughness, the pedigree of Miami is going to test Cleveland more
02:02than I would say what Memphis is getting OKC.
02:06Like, if you ask me next round what team could be on, like,
02:10a little bit of an upset alert, to me it's OKC because they're not getting tested.
02:15And the Clippers or the Nuggets could take them out.
02:19Yeah.
02:19I think Cleveland's getting tested by Miami, the way Miami came back in game two,
02:23the way I think they'll try and be really tough in their building.
02:26You'll get their best effort out of them today.
02:28And they will be battle-tested going into the next round.
02:32Well, here they will be playing here.
02:34Watch out.
02:39Look at Dimas Bording's side.
02:45Oh, hello.
