You're thinking, okay, what are the hopes for this team that were just in the NBA finals? And Kyrie's having this terrific year. And you've gotten the best, most stable stretch of Kyrie going all the way back to the end of the Cleveland run, which is nine years ago. And then he goes out with the ACL. So it's not karma. I don't know how much I believe in karma.

I just, because maybe you work in my business long enough and you're like, I don't know if that's true or not. It'd be nice. Maybe, maybe it is true. It's cool if you believe in it, but I don't really think that's the best way to look at this because it's not about the karma of ownership or a front office that made this disastrous decision and an ownership that I just don't think gets it.

15 teams, 15 minutes-ish. We'll go by the standings of this morning. Some of these numbers are sorted through the last 48 hours. We start with Cleveland. So Cleveland's come back against Boston, and I know that Porzingis being out and Drew Holiday being out leads to some defensive matchups and switching and hunting that Cleveland would likely not have the option to attack.

if Drew Holiday and Przingis are playing in a playoff series. But the biggest compliment I can give to Cleveland is that I didn't care about any of the regular season outcomes. I just thought there were bad matchups there on the perimeter for Cleveland against Boston. There's no way I was ever picking Cleveland against Boston in a playoff series. Now I'm open to it. I'm flirting with doing it.

And I know I said it with Bill on Sunday. I said it earlier today on FanDuel TV. But I love this Cleveland team. If you look at the overall numbers, let's run through it. First on offense, seventh on defense. Last season, they were 16th on offense, seventh on defense. Which... you know, coaching is probably not as impactful as we'd like to think it can be.

Certainly coaches that, that pursue that profession when it comes to the NBA, more often than not, like who's on the team, but Atkinson is really unlocked something. And on top of the Hunter acquisition and everything that's happening with the rest of this team, they are nine deep. If you want to go 10 with a coral, you can do that. I'll say nine.
