      @@NeverForgiveAction Guy, are you smoking crack? We stated Cavs main problem was always coaching.
      I’m sorry Cavs look like GSW East but with a defense.

      Wait until you come Cleveland.
      Cavs have a elite defense to match the offense and this is only the beginning and Cavs against Karl-Anthony Towns we usually beat him.

      And, I noticed a major problems already for New York look at how many minutes your starter have to play to win against Miami. Bridges 40, Anthony Towns 39, Hart 42, Brunson 36, and Anunoby 37 these are playoffs minutes and only 3 players from bench scoring only 12 points.

      Now against the Cavs.. Bridges 40, Anthony Towns 32, Hart 38, Brunson 38, and Anunoby 37 these are playoffs minutes.

      While Cavs main 2 players had on 31 minutes and the rest under 30 minutes.
      Coach Kenny is now coaching like Kerr.

      October 31, 2024 at 5:05 pm

      You might be right, but first take never talks strategy nor tactics really. They’ve tried that and the casual fan doesn’t respond to in depth analysis of the game. It goes over their head. Several have tried that route and fail because most fans can’t relate. FT has always catered to the masses, that’s why it’s so popular. Don’t conflate popular with the best.

    just think, the wolves had Kat.. and Ant.. on same team. And they got rid of that duo because of money. MN will never win a championship with that small thinking. Big 7 footers with talent and shooting just do not come around very often.
