And Josh Hart is one of the best, the best rebounding player, at least of his height in the NBA, one of the best rebounding perimeter players in the league.

And that team is just a really good team.

Rebounding, uh, is really good at just gang rebounding in general and really good at chasing down loose balls and, and,

Cleveland is going to have to make up for it in other ways.

They're going to have to get to the line.

They're going to have to hit their threes.

And Cleveland is very big on wanting to win the possession game.

They have all of these, you know, crashing strategies to try to get offensive boards that makes them, I think, a better offensive rebounding team than their personnel might suggest, even though they play a double big like they don't have.

phenomenal rebounding personnel in general but like they will have to make up for that make up for the math in some point because the rebounding would be huge but Detroit different story now all of a sudden you're talking about like is the three-point line going to change things because Detroit is going to have to play these lineups where they're going to have to out tough the Knicks which they might be able to do but they're not going to hit a ton of threes in those lineups and we just saw the Knicks go 11 for 12 from three in a quarter in an NBA playoff game which was outrageous and

The shooting with the Knicks has been absurd, and I don't think he'll necessarily keep up at 11 for 12 levels, 25 for 44.

It was insane.

I mean, Deuce McBride couldn't miss, and Shamit was hitting these shots, and it was like my...

when it mattered and Grimes was not good for them during this round.

Um, Uber was really good sometimes, but he's a role player.

And the reality is that when you only have six guys who you trust and you get to a point where it's like every other day, it's just going to be really, really hard to actually win, especially when a couple of them have off nights or Joel Embiid can't play, which is something that always has to be baked into the formula because there are always going to be moments where he's unable to play and he's

He's not going to play for an entire playoff run and just be good to go for every game.

Yeah.

I mean, look, even if he's out there, like it's one thing for him to be out there.

It's another thing for him to be out there and like be MVP Joel Embiid.

And you mentioned him going eight for eight and having 24 points.
