I don't know about but cavs may have hard time playing okc with chet and caruso okc hav bunch of guys who can guard anybody and chet before injury is considered locked in DPOY before injury so I think cavs may have a hard time
More of a casual NBA fan. What are the Cavs drinking that made them such a force this season? I still can't believe how well they are playing a couple months into the season.
An offense predicated on movement/cutting, staggering Garland/Allen and Mitchell/Mobley so that one of those 2 duos are almost always on the court, and they pretty much always blow out teams by the 3rd JB was good for building up the culture/foundation of the team, they needed an X's and O's guy like Atkinson to take them to the next level. Like the raptors going from Casey to Nurse
Let’s not pretend that D Mitch just had a random off night. He had the same difficulties as every other primary perimeter scorer against okc this season. The Dorture Chamber is real.
@@zakariahanaffi9641chet ain’t changing nothing! Hed help forsure but he not all of a sudden stopping 2 dudes from getting 20 and 10 😂😂 Evan not worried about no chet 😂😂
Both teams were able figure out how to guard their super stars, SGA kept seeing help from the bigs and Dort was able to stay out of foul trouble while staying in front of Spida. But both teams were able to move the ball and show off their depth with many teammates making plays. The Thunder definitely have issues without Chet and only one big man against teams like CLE and MIL as long as the big men can make shots and make passes. Both teams can make shots and can play defense. Even though it ended up being a 7 pt game at the end, it was competative and is the kind of play that was good to watch. Both teams have aggressive attacks and don't run too much motion like some of the other top teams. They can move the ball side to side and attack directly too.
More and more bigs can screen, catch and pass in fluid motion like the Joker this season. Soon, more of them will be able to shoot the 3s more consistently. We’re seeing another evolution of NBA
The only way for someone to win mvp is that Jokic stop playing basketball and stay in Serbia to play with horse (and i think that this will happens sooner than we think )
The issues with the celtics are.... they have to self inflict damage; unhealthy or completely brick their 3pt The latter one probably only happens a few times in the whole playoffs
Let's be real here do people really think the Cavs can beat the Celtics? Like sure they have a better record and have beaten the Celtics in the regular season but its different in the Playoffs and that's when we can say who can beat who
Idk why not? They have 2 good bits and one is an elite defender. The other is good on defense, they got perimeter scoring. They can guard the Celtics and they have the best offense in the league
I am a celtics fan and I def think they can. I think they are just as good on both sides of the ball my only concern with them is the experience. Garland has disappeared in the playoffs especially against the C's last year, but if he can show up and the C's threes don't fall I think they could win. Having homecourt will also help
Yes. They absolutely can. In fact, the Celtics better hope the Cavs dont have home court come playoff time. This really shouldn't need to be explained to you at this point...
@@griplimitthey only played bad in one playoff series and it’s not fully guaranteed Boston wins it again either. You don’t if they can keep shooting this great for multiple seasons and playoff runs
The Cavs used a simple slip screen action eight times in the 4th quarter and ended with wide open dunks every time. Size had nothing to do with it. The "best defense in the league" failed to adjust.
Two teams that are too inexperienced in the playoffs. Battle tested teams like the Celtics and Nuggets should still be the favorites in a 7 game playoff
Celtics yes, Nuggets absolutely not. Thunder have a year of playoff experience under their belts plus they added to guys with plenty playoff experience in IHart and Caruso. Thunder are head and shoulders above any team in the west.
This argument is getting old and the reason why the nba is losing ratings stop praising teams who won 2 years ago and praise the teams that’s clearly the best now, Denver can’t keep up with okc to young and to much speed and defense in a 7 game series Denver is cooked
Thats not true. The Cavs have a TON of experience. Struss has the most having been to the finals twice. Unless you count Tristan Thompson, but I dont in this case.
6:00 You’re all for the refs allowing OKC to commit a blatant foul. 9:28 Hold by who? SGA grabbing Mitchell’s jersey with his right arm. Push off? You mean SGA flopping? 11:10 Lol OKC was given a free pass to foul all night, and Mitchell had his worst shooting night of the season and they still lost. They are not beating CLE, even if Jesus came back and ran point for them.
@ i think it’s more that we did the whole regular season thing and just want to get to playoffs, and remember jb got snubbed from olympics and jt had that embarrassing summer gonna be straight b2a come playoffs
The Cavs got open dunks all 4th quarter on the same simple slip screen action, and the "leagues best defense" failed to make a single adjustment to stop it. Adding Chet doesnt change that.
that 3rd qtr especially, with the ball movement of both teams was a joy to watch. best game ive seen in some years by FAR
A 7 game series with both these teams healthy would be fun to watch.
Okc will sweep cavs especially if chet is playing

Love to see two small market teams at the top of the NBA.

New coach, that's the only change from last year. We kept the exact same roster from last year.
Coaching
An offense predicated on movement/cutting, staggering Garland/Allen and Mitchell/Mobley so that one of those 2 duos are almost always on the court, and they pretty much always blow out teams by the 3rd
JB was good for building up the culture/foundation of the team, they needed an X's and O's guy like Atkinson to take them to the next level. Like the raptors going from Casey to Nurse
They got rid of an affirmative action coach and got a real one.
coaching, ball movement, stars getting into their prime, everyone healthy and unselfish. cavs look amazing.
Isn’t sports betting somewhat bad like it’s gambling init 5:50
If Cleveland plays like this and Mitchell has an average game this is a blow out, what you talking about?
You realize if Chet was playing the whole game would look different ? Cavs won due to their size nothing else
Let’s not pretend that D Mitch just had a random off night. He had the same difficulties as every other primary perimeter scorer against okc this season. The Dorture Chamber is real.

Some high level IQ reads from both teams , wouldn’t mind a finals matchup wit these teams
Exactly, they took advantage of Chet not being there. The Cavs are great and have earned their record but don’t minimize Chet’s impact.
Both of these teams are so good and closely matched. I feel the winner was always going to be the home team. A minor advantage.
I agree Go Cavs

Up.

the sga staredown at the end made me feel a certain way...
That last 5 seconds wasn't necessary. If Thunder are fully loaded in Finals, Cavs will simply adjust per usual...
love the videos but youtubers gotta stop advertising for gambling sites
My man D.Wade 💯
Its a new age, and I’m lovin it.
If this becomes our Finals match up, then I will be wondering if playoffs experience will hurt the OKC as it takes favor with the Cavs.
Home court will matter as well
SGA should win the MVP award
The only way for someone to win mvp is that Jokic stop playing basketball and stay in Serbia to play with horse (and i think that this will happens sooner than we think )

ofcourse you'd pick cleveland over boston

Celtics are better than the Cavs
Ikr. Just because their record is better doesn’t tell the whole story. The Cavs will crap themselves in the playoffs, as they always do.

Cavs used size against a Chet'less Thunder well be ready in the finals

Size had nothing to do with it. The "best defense in the league" failed to adjust.
@@dearmas9068So you are saying a bigger rim protector would not have stopped those 4 dunks at the rim? See how this goes back to size?
Cavs vs Thunder in the Finals? Not gonna happen soon especially on today's NBA which it looks like it came in the 70s era but on steroids. ☠️
2016 Finals could've been. Hopefully this would happen 9 year slater.
Not gonna happen soon? Lol...

@ i think it’s more that we did the whole regular season thing and just want to get to playoffs, and remember jb got snubbed from olympics and jt had that embarrassing summer gonna be straight b2a come playoffs
The only reason cavs won is because okc is missing another 7ft chet holmgren

Adding Chet doesnt change that.
Okc is better then the cavs
Nope
