Well, I think Cleveland's great. I think they're great. I think they're going to win a lot of games. I think they're going to be good in the playoffs. The question is, when we get down to the end of the year. You know, are they able to compete in a playoff series with a team like the Celtics in the Eastern Conference? I don't know if they're going to have another team.

We can talk about whether we think there's another team from the East and that like real inner circle spot. But I think Cleveland's very, very good. I'm just not quite sure yet. Mathematically, if they go in.

Well, let me just stay with Cleveland for a second. Are you guys comfortable with them on the same line as the Celtics and even a team like OKC?

Yeah. But like I said, I think the offense is real. I think they're going to be very good. I think they're going to win a ton of games. I think they'll be fine against lower echelon opponents in the first, maybe second round of the playoffs. But I've had this thing for a long time, guys, where I say, are you a two round team in the postseason or are you a four round team?

Because it's one thing to be able to win two playoff series in the NBA playoffs, but But to win double that, to win two more series, both times you almost always have to beat another championship level team. That's a different gear to get to. And I think Cleveland's been good enough right now that in my head, I'm like, well, they're flirting with it. Right. They're close. But no, I'm not ready.

I'm not comfortable enough to put them there yet. What would it take to get them there for you?

Part of it would be continuing the run. I think, you know, teams over the course of history who have dominant regular seasons, even if they have a lesser level in the playoffs, are still fantastic. Like if you win 65 games, you're a contender. So that's part of it.
