That's the only way I'm going to have a productive game.

And that makes me, that makes me a little nervous, just a little nervous.

At the same time, I mean, Detroit was a better defense than Toronto this year.

They're two of the top five defenses in the league.

I think Detroit was second.

Toronto was fifth.

They're just a little bit more conventional than the Raptors are, particularly when they put CMB at the five and just switch everything and muck your whole life up.

And it's just going to be interesting to see if the Cavs offense, even today, take away the offensive rebounds.

They just didn't look very in sync.

Like Harden and Mitchell don't look in sync with each other.

There's just been a lot of dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.

Their assist rate is way down.

They're taking way more pull-up threes in this series.

I think a lot of that has to do with Toronto just sort of drags you into that style with their switchiness and the way they play.

I bet they feel a little bit looser against Detroit, which sounds paradoxical because Detroit is a nasty physical great defense.

I just think they play a little more conventionally.

But I think it should be a good series.

Two teams that should be super hungry to get to the next round.

All these teams should be super hungry.

I mean, Embiid and the Sixers have never made it out of this round in his tenure there.
