He's still athletic. He's bouncy. He's so long. Like I said, he's huge for his position is an act for offensive rebounding. So like he does provide a lot of production for this team. I just don't know if you're a small market team. Are you going to go and pay this guy 25, 30 million to be the guy?
Like, I don't know if he's got that in him, but he's extremely talented and he can shoot the shit out of it. Do you like Cleveland better than OKC? Oh, we're just going right for it. We're just going right there. I kind of do. Is it crazy to think that like, I kind of like Cleveland and Boston more than okay. See, and that's not a knock on. Okay.
See, I think Cleveland started off of the season and no one really believed. Right. And look back to last year, David bigger sass. He's my guy. I'll ride for him. When they were healthy, they were really good last year. They were doomed last year at the injury bug. And as good as Kenny Atkinson has done a job this year, they've been extremely, extremely healthy.
I think Max Truce has been out of the lineup. Ty Jerome has been out of the lineup, but yeah, for the most part, they've been very healthy and they are very, very good when they're healthy. And the growth of Evan Mobley has been impressive. They have great guards play. They have great, they were, they're extremely deep.
And then the addition of Deandre Hunter to me was like, dude, it was like the icing on the cake. He's that three and D wing that, you know what, we got to go through Tatum and Brown. Let me go get a lockdown three and D wing defender that can help us do that. And so I do, I like them a lot. I love SGA and I love the thunder and, Jalen Williams went down last night too.
I don't know how serious that's going to be. And they also have a lot of deep, versatile pieces on the bench, but it's tough. I thought the West was going to be the conference this year. And there were, there were a lot deeper. And now I look at the league and the two best teams to me are in the East.
I still don't.
And if Atkinson was so good, so good in Cleveland, how did he not have success in his previous jobs? The coaching pool is it's such a cesspool. And then the NBA, like you hire and fire everybody and you switch out, you know, yearly, it feels like, but to me, Jamie bigger staff, he's just, first of all, he's a player's coach.
he has this personal relationship with you, or he just, he understands you. He could jump you and you don't take it personal because he spends the time to get you to know you and your family and everything about you, which is crazy to me is that I heard, you know, there were some personality issues with him, not meshing with the guys in Cleveland last year. And,
that just didn't make sense to me because I've had him as an assistant. I've had him as a head coach. He's very consistent. He's very solid. He's smart. You know, he's very defensive minded. He's great at a timeout executing plays. So I couldn't be a bigger, a more bigger fan of JB Bickerstaff and Kenny Atkinson is correct. He's probably going to win coach of the year.
He inherited a great, great team and situation. He's getting the best out of them. No doubt. No knock on him. But look at that roster in Detroit and look at the success they've had. I think that's more of an impressive job, what Detroit is doing than versus Cleveland's doing. Yes, they're on record pace. Yes, they're the number one seed.
Yes, they've had a great year, but no one expected the Pistons to be relevant this year. Everyone expected the Cavs to be good. So I think that's the difference. I think Kenny's going to get it and it's well-deserved, but... I think JB bigger step is right there. I think JJ Redick is right there. What he's done with the Lakers, but I it's, it's, they both done a fantastic job, but isn't it great?
Like how, how does that work? How does it, this guy gets fired for being so bad and not being on. And then he goes and just turns this, this dumpster fire around into a playoff team. Like the next year, like the coaching search of the NBA just always boggles my mind.
Yeah, it's tough, right? Because Ja is so fun to watch. He's must-see TV. He's so explosive. And like you, sometimes I watch and I'm like, man, this dude is a top four point guard in the NBA. And sometimes I watch and I'm like, he's not top 10. And I don't know how, you know, when he starts losing that step, when he loses this, I don't know if his game is going to translate.
Look across the league. All these elite point guards, which now point guards are all scorers pretty much, they can all shoot. They can all shoot at a crazy clip from deep, and they're efficient. John Morant, he's got to work on his outside shooting, I think, number one, because when he does lose that burst and that step, you can already see now, guys are guarding him. They're going under screen.
They're making him... use dribble handoffs and screens by going under and forcing him to basically shoot the three. And he's not shooting it at a high clip right now. So I think he is obviously the key. He's the head of the snake. Jaron Jackson out is obviously a huge blow, but it seems tough. They're well-coached as well. They have depth.
I love like a Gigi Jackson, but he's still coming off an injury. Aldama, he's been banged up. He's been having a great year. They still have pieces. Desmond Bain kind of been up and down all season long. So they still have pieces. But when I look in the West, I'm with you. I don't, I don't really trust them in the playoffs. I think the Lakers are better. I think the nuggets are better.
Like, I think the Timberwolves could end up beating them in a series. I mean, so it's, it's one of those teams. I just, I just don't, I don't trust. They don't think they have enough.
And, and, and John Moran, it's interesting because he's obviously a guy, he's an all NBA type player, but it'll be really interesting to see how his future goes with just how the NBA and how the, how the system of shooting so many threes and playing so fast is, is, is changed.
Phoenix to me is great. Phoenix, me and Lou will always talk about that was our team. Like that was like our dark horse. That was our team to get to the finals. They're home. But like, I was so all in on that big three and Nerkich. And then they add Tyus Jones and Monty Morris. I thought last year putting down Booker at point guard was the issue. Now they bring in two solid point guards.
