The Cavs have been one of the best defensive teams and even number one in certain areas the past few years the problem was improving on the offensive side of the floor and now we can win games defensively and offensively. Now the rest of the season is Mobley's continued growth and the team finding the perfect balance of efficient offense and solid defense. So far so Great "Let's Go Cavs"!
I feel like the 2nd quarter of some of these games, the Cavs should make Mobley the facilitator. He needs to iron out all of his ball handling and decision making and playmaking.
Really bothers me to hear people say, cut your rotation down in the playoffs. WHY?!?! Your depth is is your identity. 11 man rotations got us here, FINISH WITH THE 11 MAN ROTATION...
It's a function of how your opponents play. They won't be playing their bench as much, so if you play a bunch of bench guys, you'll be sending them out to face the opposing starters. The Cavs I think can go deeper than most. They'll play 9 and trust 8 as opposed to play 8 and trust 7, but they won't go 11 deep like they do at full strength now.
@Nuvendil That's insanity thinking, this coach was with GSW for 3 years. A team that DID NOT cut their rotation. They kept their offensive pace and tired out other teams running their starters 40+ minutes. Go back and watch GSW in 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. Kerr smartly never cut his rotations, even in finals... You mean to tell me, that the entire season Atkinson is building up confidence in Wade, Merrill, Strus, Okoro, Niang, Levert, Jerome only to bench them in the playoffs?!?! Really, that makes no sense... He plays Garland, Mitchell 40 minutes, they'll be out hurt by semis...
This season is really all about the emergence of Evan Mobley into a major NBA star. I'm still hoping to see the emergence of Emoni Bates in the 2nd half of the season
This season reminds me of the 2008-2009 season when they would lose 2 in a row and the fans thought it was the end of the world. It's good to be this spoiled as a fan. Go Cavs!
If you have Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton returning to Cleveland they will compete at a high level they always have. I'm glad we answered that.
Cavs fan here depending on who we play in the second round i have the Cavs making it to the eastern conference finals and losing to Boston. If they play teams like Atlanta, Magics, Knicks in the second round they will lose in a 7 game series. We are too small in the back court. And are wings are short and unathletic. Plus Dean Wade stays injured. Cavs will be exposed in those in the playoffs but this will increase our chances of winning an nba finals title in 2026-2027. They will address the size of our back court and address the wing position
I think Atkinson will help the Cavs overcome some of the problems they’ve had in the past. I’m not sure JB always put out the smartest lineups come playoff time.

Emoni will emerge in the G-league. Team is too deep with vets who’ve paid their dues. He’ll get his opportunity eventually.🏀
Cavs gotta maintain good relations with the Jazz. They might makes trades in the future. I’m looking at you Lauri Markanenn. 😺🏀
Say that shit one more time bro Bates nices

It was a great game. Utah played way above their weight last night.
12:34 asking "is that a black thing?" is crazy...especially LIVE on camera smh
Lmaoooo
Bruh wtf is going on??? Bull has been positive ASF now and he's finally believing in the Cavs 😂👌🏽
I disagree. I think the more depth ,the more rested. Ain't broke don't fix it
I think Sam Merrill also started in Boston at the three spot opposite Jaylen Brown. Hard to believe the Cavs only lost that game by three points.
Jaylen brown didn’t play the game we won
@@Pinkbunnyrabbit he means the first game where the Cavs lost. Cavs were missing all of their small forwards so they started Sam.
"Wave dashing ... is that a black thing?" 😂😂😂
The Cavs could have used Dean Wade's size against the Jazz. Get well soon Dean!
That Yu Gi Oh reference lolol. I'm laughing like a crazy person at work right now.
This show seems to he getting better with every watch.
The cavs are going to have to win like this against good and bad teams because they have a target on their backs everyone wants to beat the best team
Is that a black thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣God I love it
7:00! I could not have said it any better! Enjoy the show Cleveland!
2nd in the NBA in scoring thats why the team feels different also 1st in point differential
This was the most coherently and intelligently bull has ever disucssed basketball.
The Cavs are on a good run I swear this team is 🔥
Never played smash bros??? Pause*
very similar to the Guards in not blowing leads...at least in the regular season
Please let Fox be a permanent part of the show. Been a fan since he was at Ohio State
Swap him out for Jay
ecf appearance would be great.. winning it all just dont think its possible.
Bull and Fox together again, awww😂
Yall can't whoop me in smash bros
1 black guy making anime references to 3 clueless older we white dude. Omg. Best episode ever 😂😂😂
merrill has never started in Boston what are you smoking
Idk y Kessler was guarding garland in the first place 😂
Does Dustin bring anything to the show besides sports gambling?
Cleveland Cavs vs Utah Cavs.
How come the Cavs can't beat The Hawks?
Hawks have 2 huge wings- we don’t have great defensive answers for them
bull is trash
