To Simon's point, if he gets his pull-up three going, 50 is always on the table with Donovan just because of how good of a driver he is.
That's like a counter to that.
So I like that.
If you're looking for something to bet on the Cavs side, just something with Donovan's point totals.
When you factor in what the Cavs are good at, which again, specifically their ability to attack the guard position,
That puts them in a position where they can put Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns in space.
And I do think they're going to get good shots and they have good weak side shooters.
So there's going to be games that they win in this series.
Where I where I find it difficult for them to keep up stems a lot from the way that Donovan Mitchell and James Harden get attacked, which is their weakness defensively is actually like attention span, like paying attention off the ball.
And so in a weird way, the Knicks playing this new like let's pick on you with off ball screens.
And now you have to communicate switches and pay attention and not like relax for five seconds.
That is actually kind of a thing that I expect the Cavs to experience a lot of like mistake making that leads to, to, to, to, to like runs for the Knicks.
But I think that, I think in six makes the most sense.
I think that they've proven the ability to close out series on the road in this playoff run and to play really well on the road.
And so I think what ends up happening is kind of, I think they probably go up to a steel one and at some point in like games three through five and then end up closing it out in game six in Cleveland.
I actually think I like the Cavs side of that for two reasons.
One, they've been playing basketball and the Knicks have not.
So there's a little bit of a rust factor, which I think will benefit them.
Two, it's a little bit of like a breath of fresh air going from that big physical Detroit team to like a less physical Knicks team.
I think the Knicks are also big and physical, just not to the same extent that that Detroit is.
