But they definitely have to adjust to kind of a new style, and I think at the end of the day, it will help them out that they can kind of toggle back and forth between a team that shuts off the arc and a team that allows bad shooters to shoot open ones from above the break. But right now, they're just sort of figuring it all out.

So Cleveland has obviously been the best team in the race. That's not even a discussion. They played a historic pace. The one thing I think about as I project forward to the playoffs is like, The Celtics don't really have any weak link on either end in their rotation. There's no one you can really hunt that you'd be comfortable hunting.

There's no one you can leave at the three-point arc that you'd be comfortable leaving. And I just feel like Cleveland has some of that. Like, they're vulnerable in different places. What does Darius Garland do if Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are hunting him relentlessly? What is, you know... Sam Merrill do? What does, you know, what does George Niang do?

Guys that are important to their second unit. Ty Jerome, like, they've been really good. They've been incredible. That second unit has just blitzed teams all year.
