Trey Kirby

And he, to me, was the biggest reason it even went to seven games.

If he steps it up here in round two, you forget about all that.

Yeah, if you're talking fast break points, it means the Pistons have to force turnovers.

That's how the Raptors were able to win their games against Cleveland.

ball insecurity from the Cavs and going the other way because in the second half of game seven, only three turnovers for the Cavs.

And that's when they really stretched out the lead and took control.

A half court game definitely favors Cleveland.

So we can't have a James Harden eight turnover game.

You can't have 20 turnovers per game if you're Cleveland.

So I think that is a huge factor for me.

A single player is an X factor.

He has an X in his name and it's Max Struess.

He's going to be the number one guy, in my opinion, to guard Cade Cunningham.

It's going to be tough.

Cade's going to get his for sure, but I thought Strews did a really good job against Scotty Barnes in Game 7 of Round 1.

Barnes, Cade, different players, but the way to succeed against them is kind of similar.

You've got to have quickness, and you've got to have strength, and Strews, I thought, kind of demonstrated that against the Raptors, so maybe he's the guy who can do it.

against Cade and the Pistons.

So I wonder if he actually starts.

People talk of Dean Wade, his switchability, the fact that even though he's a tall, skinny guy, he guards smaller players better than he guards a big player.
