Es Baraheni

And he's looked a little bit better defensively.

That connection in general feels like it's going to thrive.

Um,

How do you think that works when it comes to postseason basketball for this team?

Because so much of the last couple of years for the Cavs was there's far too much reliance on Garland, on Mitchell to create everything.

Is there more of a release valve now that you can involve Allen and potentially Mobley a little bit more?

Especially to start this season, man, it was incredible.

Tilted defenses.

When the defense is in rotation, he can make a play.

But if it's set, it's a lot harder.

To your point about Donovan's usage going up, and I think there's a lot of conversations about James Harden in the playoffs, right?

Can he get it done in the postseason, right?

And I think that's a little bit of fool's gold conversation-wise.

There's more context that's required to his failures in the postseason than everybody would like to admit.

But at the same time...

They don't need the prime James Harden that the Clippers required, right?

What James Harden had to do for the Clippers was create almost everything because they had no other creator other than Kawhi Leonard.

And you look at the Sixers time that he had, it was Maxie still coming into his own, Joel getting hurt.

Do you feel as if this situation around Harden is maybe the best way for him to shake off some of these playoff demons?

I'll tell you that.
