And the other thing is, if the Cavs are the two seed, are we sure they're going to see Detroit?

I mean, I just think it's more open.

Yeah.

And they also have extended periods of time where they're at home.

They get to rest down the stretch like they played a lot of games to start the season.

And I think one of the sneaky things about last year was basically from the start of February till like mid April.

The Cavs never played two games in the same city.

like even when they were at home, it was for a day, right?

Like it was basically a 26 game road trip at the end of the season.

And Donovan started breaking down at that point.

Like Kenny Atkinson talked about how his plan going into the season was, I'm going to manage their minutes and then ramp up before the playoffs.

But again,

everyone was wearing down because they didn't have any opportunity for rest.

There was no, you know, two games in a row in Cleveland where they can at least sleep in their own beds.

It was just constant travel, constant, constant travel for them.

So that's not the case this year.

And you have, you know, just this proven usage sponge in James Harden.

So I think they're better suited, you know, to get into the playoffs and be on the right foot.

I think a lot of Cavs fans are going to just always root for Darius Garland.

I think this is the guy that turned things around in Cleveland.
