I like the palm trees and the sunshine, but I hate these guys. Wow.
Looking for sugar daddies every day. Stoogatz. Hell yeah, brother. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stoogatz.
I mean, I think that's like low-hanging fruit when people just check out of that. I think that they're good, really good. I think the reason they're winning regular season games is because they have a super high floor. They can have an off night, and they could still beat you, right? And so, you know, they're a version of what the Celtics do. They move it extremely well offensively.
They have guys that can playmake offensively. You know, staying away from Mobley right now because I want to get into him later. They're just a smaller version of the Boston Celtics. Like, our two ball handlers are Tatum and Brown, 6'9", 6'6", 6'7". And, you know, their guys are Mitchell and Garland, you know, 6'1", 6'0".
You know, as you know, like in the playoffs, that stuff does kind of add up. But I think the Cavs are bona fide. I think they're great. They're well coached. They move it well. Their bench has won them games. And they've added DeAndre Hunter, which I think this is like part of the NBA right now. People are looking to find guys to stop Tatum and Brown.
And, you know, like the Knicks did it with Mikkel Bridges. Now the Cavs are doing it. I love Karis LeVert, great offensive player, just not the caliber defensive player that DeAndre Hunter is. So I think that addition will be really interesting to see tonight.
Love. I've been pumping the pom-poms for Cade Cunningham for like three years, and I was wondering last year if I just got him wrong. Me too. So I'm big on owning your space in the league, right? I think it's underrated. I think the guys that own their space, all-time great players, they all own their space, even in a weird way like Iverson. As small as he was, he owned his space.
But Cade operates... With a little Luka Doncic, you know, offensively where he could go where he wants to go. He's not affected by contact. He gets to spaces on the floor. He keeps his composure even as he's hitting guys and dislodging them. And that's really hard to do. So I'm high on Cade Cunningham. And what they've done is, you know, last year they weren't that bad. They shouldn't have been.
What did they win? 14 games, 17 games last year. They shouldn't have won that many games last year. But what we're seeing, though, is they weren't where they're at this year. They've improved, no doubt. They've added some professionals in the room. And Tobias Harris gets a lot of heat from Philly fans for whatever reason. But...
In this league right now a guy that consistently plays hard brings it and plays a lot like he's relatively healthy. A lot of the times it shows a professionalism kind of starts sets the tone and Malik Beasley entering into a contract year. I'm going to tell you right now, the way he's playing, you want Malik Beasley to be in a contract year every year because he just lights out.
But by the way, I kind of hated on his defense last year with the Bucs. Unwarranted, for sure, because if you look at the net rating, that starting five group with the Bucs last year was really good. Doc Rivers decided to bench him for Patrick Beverly. What a gift to Detroit. Malik Beasley's having another impactful season, and we've got to just start looking at him as a different player.
Whatever he was three or four years ago, he is not that same guy anymore.
Man, heat right there. Nice job, Israel. You know, I'll tell you guys. So there's been five all-time great turnarounds for the Celtics. They had, you know, Garnett and Ray Allen. Then you had, I think it was two Spurs. Tim Duncan, yeah. And then David Robinson, the year that they got David Robinson. Another one with Phoenix and Steve Nash, and the other one with the Celtics and Larry Bird.
And now it's Malik Beasley, Tobias Harris, baby. Those guys are next up. Chalk them in as Hall of Fame players.
All right. The only way for me to answer that question is to ask you a question. So, Jeremy, give me your three favorite players in the NBA right now.
Okay, there we go. So like, and Shea doesn't have a bubbling personality, but- No, he's similar to Tatum in that respect. Yeah, but the NBA has done a really interesting job of like marketing players, right? And the best part about today's NBA is like- I was going to say something like, I blank with that guy. Oh, yeah, I blank with him. I like him, right? I like John Moran.
I don't care about what he did a year ago with the guns and stuff. I love watching John Moran play. What do you want me to say, right? I'm a white kid from the middle of nowhere. I love watching John Moran play. I like watching Anthony Edwards. I liked him more last year than this year. There was a time, I know it sounds crazy, I liked watching Ben Simmons play, right?
It's just everybody has what they like. And I think if you ask a lot of people, I'm not sure a lot of people outside of Boston say, man, I just love watching Jason Tatum play. I don't think they resonate with him for whatever reason. You know, it could be he's on every commercial, but you don't really know anything about Tatum. You know, you don't see him on certain podcasts or anything like that.
