Yeah.
They're already pretty good players in some cases, top 10 picks.
But I had no idea that they were this good.
So there's two ways, I guess, to break it down and whatever your criteria is, we'll determine it.
I don't necessarily think that their defense is anything that you're looking at and saying that's going to win them some games in the playoffs or that is a defense that's equipped to where you're trying to figure out how you're going to operate against them in a series.
Like we got some teams like that in the West.
I don't think that, and I actually feel that way.
A lot of nights I watch Boston and I think Detroit actually also could be a defense.
That's that good.
I don't feel that way about Cleveland.
I think if Cleveland wins, uh,
a series, it's going to be because their offense can be very explosive.
And they've got, you know, obviously they've got two star guards and you Mitchell is capable of going off at any time.
They've got a stable of three point shooting around their best players.
They added a point guard that can reward guys at a higher degree than Garland could.
So they've kind of answered that.
But there is one thing with Cleveland that if I were the Celtics, I would probably look at them as well and say that's probably a safer matchup.
You wonder with what's going on with them the last couple years and not just...
that Cleveland team, but also you bring James Harden into the mix who's had some playoff issues in the past.
And you wonder what they would feel like if they fell behind in a series or if they started to have some moments where it was like slipping away a game that was a pivotal game.
