Even though this was recorded before the Game 2 victory, this is still a very timely analysis of the state of the Cavs. Mark and I discuss:
-LeBron’s optimized role
-What happens when defenses Pack the Paint? / Chase off the line?
-LeBron’s greatness
-Why the Cavs offensive sets are so dangerous
-Kyrie’s improved decision making and 2-man chemistry
-Better to be rested or tested?
-Would Cavs fans rather play the Warriors or Thunder in the Finals?
-Warriors/Thunder recap
-LeBron owning Durant over the years
-Steph Curry’s sneaky backdoor maneuvers
-Home court and maintaining the tempo
-Kevin Love not afraid to fail. Cavs not deterred when Kevin Love fails.
-Despite the highlight reels, the Cavs can score in boring (albeit effective) ways
-J.R. Smith’s defense
-76ers won the lottery – what now
-New coaches
I love Tom’s idea of Melo to Boston. Melo to Boston for Crowder and Nets 3rd pick….make it happen, Danny. You know you need your superstar…(oh wait, I forgot, Crowder is the modern Larry Bird….) You need Melo, Danny…
