Those guys are a tandem.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I'm taking the Cavs in six.
I'm buying it.
The way they ended the series, I don't know if they're slow playing round number two because we still haven't seen a steady, consistent Donovan Mitchell like we have in the past.
And I think he'll just be ready a little bit more so after seeing an incredible perimeter defense from the Toronto Raptors.
So...
I expect them to ride Mitchell a little bit more.
I got Cavs in six.
Yes.
To keep up scoring wise, Austin Reeves, I think has to just go off.
I mean, he has to be efficient and he has to score a lot because the thunder defense is going to be good enough to,
to wash away a fantastic Marcus Smart or Jake LaRavia or those type of games, DeAndre Ayton included, I think Austin Reeves can create.
He has to be good enough at that to do it efficiently because, as you said, the Thunder are going to create turnovers and they're going to take care of the ball and they're going to get more shots.
I saw this stat from John Schumer where
They averaged five more shot opportunities than the Phoenix Suns, while the Lakers had nine fewer shot opportunities against the Rockets.
Those are shots and free throws because the Rockets grab a lot of offensive rebounds.
But OKC is just so good at taking care of the ball, and they've got that size.
They're going to get more shots.
So I think Austin Reeves is kind of the important part here.
