Yeah, I think most people would say that. I think Boston now, you remember for years, it was like, break up Brown and Tatum. And I was saying years ago, just get them a vet. I think they were young enough. I think they were good enough. And I think they could figure it out. Now their team has figured out their style works. Before it was like, oh, we can get a lot of success. We can push people.

We can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Now they know their style works, so they can rely on that. If you're the Cavs, you're the underdog, obviously. But if you're going to play Boston, I would try to play them as tight as possible, because to me, that's when Boston at times lose their trust. And that can help your team more than anything. But the Cavs are going to have to prove it.

They're going to have to prove it. They're young. They had a terrific season. But, you know, the Boston's a tough task for anybody, especially when they're shooting the three and moving the ball the way they do.

That's it. But can they miss for, you know, potentially seven games? That's the thing about it. The way they shoot it and when they go from good to great, that's almost like adding another star player because the ball is moving so fast that you know guys want to shoot it, but they're still getting clean looks because that ball has energy. So, yeah, I'm a believer in what they're doing.

I don't like when they just sell out to threes, but, you know, they proved it. And I know you're in Miami, so I know they've had some battles. So I'm going to be a sensitive spot.

So what are you telling the people to do then? If you lost them some money, are you going to help them regain it?

They are better. If you're watching how they're playing, they have a certain belief, a certain moxie. And you're watching Kawhi and you're seeing he's healthy, but I'm seeing like a more fluid Kawhi. The way he's moving is more fluid. I'm watching how he's handling the ball. The moments where you feel like if you're the Clippers,

You have the best player on the court no matter who you're playing because he's been through it. He's battle-tested. And the playoffs fit and suit his game. But I'm a big believer in the Thunder. I really am. Just the way they played. They brought like a college style of play and system and winning to the NBA, to the pros.

You watch how... I know everybody talks about their interviews, but if you watch... How they're playing, they know Shea's the guy, but they have other guys that they allow to be the guy. He doesn't take away from other people. And then I think Coach Dagonall is a star on the sidelines. So this is going to be a fun playoffs.
