The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

Yeah.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

They're already pretty good players in some cases, top 10 picks.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

But I had no idea that they were this good.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

So there's two ways, I guess, to break it down and whatever your criteria is, we'll determine it.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

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.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

Like we got some teams like that in the West.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

I don't think that, and I actually feel that way.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

A lot of nights I watch Boston and I think Detroit actually also could be a defense.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

That's that good.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

I don't feel that way about Cleveland.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

I think if Cleveland wins, uh,

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

a series, it's going to be because their offense can be very explosive.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

And they've got, you know, obviously they've got two star guards and you Mitchell is capable of going off at any time.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

They've got a stable of three point shooting around their best players.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

They added a point guard that can reward guys at a higher degree than Garland could.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

So they've kind of answered that.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

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.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

You wonder with what's going on with them the last couple years and not just...

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

that Cleveland team, but also you bring James Harden into the mix who's had some playoff issues in the past.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
Tatum in NYC, MVP Questions, Best First-Round Matchups, and Kon Vs. Coop, With Tim Legler

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.
