[@patrick05Morgan]

The fact that a team can be actively having one of the best regular seasons ever and the media is barely discussing it shows that they are a far bigger problem with the league than playstyles. Market your league!

“Why did every drop a pistons video today” ahh comment.

[@BrandonWhatTheF]

Fr? Only other NBA youtuber I'm subbed to who dropped a Cavs video today is And One Hoops. Who else?

[@Anton1oSainz]

Man this is really weird I searched ‘the Cavs are on pace to win 70’ today because I found strange that people weren’t talking about it then several youtubers uploaded videos about it 😂

[@isaiahbarreras2451]

bro they always do this i stg

[@lostnemesis]

It's the algorithm if you really are thinking about it it's not because they all just so happen to be working on the same video one guy made their video the other one made next one the algorithm starts picking it up so then they all come in at the same time, It's the reason news channels exist even on KZbin and even drama in communities.

[@lionheartzcs2]

i just dont get it mr buckets i was told the cavs, like every other team in the NBA, shoot 500 3s a game with no diversion, how come we didnt see all those 3s?? Did you hide them from us??

[@alexescutia4805]

Top 5 in 3s shot this season

[@peacefulwarrior9518]

They still shoot a lot of 3s. But the offense really starts at the rim and the 3s they shoot are open. That's why they lead the league in 3 point percentage.

[@antoniojohnson23252]

If you took Steve Nash, had him work harder on defense (despite still being a mid to bad defender), and had him shoot with more volume, his name would be Darius Garland. I’ve had this take since 2021

[@andresdelbusto2184]

Another example of double bigs lineup being successful was the last year Twolves with Gobert and KAT. Sadly, it just had a lower ceiling due to Gobert offensive limitations Still, it's a difficult line up to achieve, but will be interesting how it evolves from here

[@LoisByrd-l2g]

Proud of My Cleveland Basketball Team!!!!! 🏀 KEEP DOING GOOD THANG🎉🎉🎉AMEN AND AMEN 💙💙💙💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@q.7556]

I think it’s kinda interesting that the cavs are one of the first true point guard/combo guard duo led teams to be majorly successful. Certainly their defensive specialist big men are helping their prolificness so to speak, but I would argue the synergy between garland and Mitchell along with their deep bench and quality coaching and strong defense, the cavs are potentially creating a new successful archetype of team in more evolutionary terms.

[@mr.crispyfriedchicken3946]

Idk where the cutoff for "majorly successful" is, but I feel as though the 2017-2018 rockets deserve a mention in this conversation. 65 wins and that's with Chris Paul only playing 58 games. While they weren't as good as the cavs are now they're definitely of the same ilk

[@q.7556]

@ yeah for sure that’s also an honorable mention. We shall see how the rest of the season turns out for the cavs, but they are clearly the best team in the nba, and one of the best teams from the east of the past 5 years or so

[@lukacostanza5793]

This aged well

[@americassports]

DAMN! Every person in the meda / internet basically gave OKC no shot after a knee-jerk reaction to an injury. OKC really is that great. Until SGA & Jalen also get injured at the same time as I-Hart & Chet together, you cannot just assume that anyone is gonna sweep the Thunder. Especially when this team is 18-2 @ Home and have lost 1 game in the last 20. Sure, I-Hart is an impactful player, but their strength is in turnovers & in numbers.

[@nickmiller5685]

[@Hollglove2000]

[@ian7064]

Dean Wade is the linchpin that makes the Cavs offense and defense complete. The vanilla wolf is super underrated

[@slimharden4143]

[@lanesansom9209]

[@gorpflunge]

petition to have rusty talk about how "this team is so good" for every team okc goes against before they play

[@NeonLeonNoel]

Damn Rusty’s place is so clean, but also sadly empty.

[@shieldon530]

In regards to the tangent about Jaylen Brown's 3PT Shooting and the Celtics' offense in general: Yes, the Celtics emphasize generating open threes, but Jaylen Brown himself doesn't need to be a sniper. His role within this offense is to either attack the rim off the catch or out of the post or set action in order to collapse the defense to create the threes or just get a bucket.

[@Cosmick8389]

1:00 LMAOOOO

[@TerribleTake]

I think this double big lineup is the future as we saw how successful Minnesota was with it, and how well Cleveland is doing with it this year, I think the thing that will truly unlock its success is having two defensive ace bigs that can shoot, Minnesota ran into issues with Rudy’s spacing and I feel Cleveland will run into that issue in the post season with Jarret Allen, I want to see a pairing like AD and Myles turner or JJJ with Wemby, I think having 2 6’10+ defensive bigs who can shoot will be the new meta. It’s just going to be a hard thing to achieve because getting 1 is already hard enough to do

[@LegendWest2k]

I kept commenting on everyone's videos about the cavs hate. Finally highlighted the best team in the East

[@crafter1793]

The best birthday gift is a rusty buckets upload

[@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303]

I've been noticing the double big thing as well. Horford is playing a lot more 4 than last year, the Magic ran WCJ and occasionally even Mo Wagner at the 4, the Grizzlies obviously have JJJ at the 4

[@ImDareDevil41]

The timing on this one is generational... I guess the next video is going to be "We Need To Talk About The OKC Thunder"

[@Benoni-100]

The Cleveland Cavaliers

[@Raphmatic5000]

I was not expecting to hear the Bulls were 2nd in 3s attempted, but LaVine is shooting like 46% from 3 on 7 attempts... damn.

[@CaptainProx]

Rusty OKC is doing everything Cleveland is doing AND have the front runner MVP and yet you still haven’t made a stand alone video about them all season Kind of crazy honestly

[@ItsBossMan]

Might be a hot take but, I genuinely believe Derrick White is the biggest difference between the Cavs and Celtics. I'm interested in seeing how well Cleveland will holdup defensively in the post season with their lack of perimeter defense.

[@skins1024]

I think people are forgetting that OKC hasn’t had Chet in like 2 months

Great commentary. Thanks for the Cavs deep dive...

[@SuperZombieSlayerzzz]

Respectfully what Jenkins is doing, is nuts

[@CaptainProx]

I think OKC will change the landscape of the NBA with their style of rebuilding and team construction OKC will influence other teams to prioritize good coaching, depth, and the greatest defense you can muster

[@Realest1ne]

I haven’t been paying attention as much this year. I knew they were winning but 34-5??? Damn….

[@jowasijo]

Watch this thunder Cavs game tn if you can. First game was probably game of the year tbh

[@LebronJames-kd6pw]

Time to start referring to Evan Mobley as a superstar. He’s no longer a defensive specialist. Buddy is also hitting 3’s at over 40% while attempting 6/game, and averaging 19 ppg while facilitating the offense many possessions.

[@damippler8302]

The Celtic are in a rough stretch, i think it would be very arrogant to say they would put away the cavs or thunder. I do hope the c's are working on this slump but im just a guy behind a screen idk whats going on

[@JBYHIFI]

My dad heard rusty talking and thought he was ai generated

[@ranbailey8693]

Can we stop putting the disclaimer of low volume for mobley shooting? Watch the games, his volume has risen each month this season from 1.6 in the first month of the season to 4.3 so far in January. I think at this point he's just a shooter

[@executive4]

You want to talk? Talk about Donovan disappearing during big games. He has a track record now. Check out all his big games. The lighter the lights, the dimmer he gets. Then he’s temperamental. You never know what’s going on in his head. Donovan Dimitchel will be the Cavs downfall. He single handedly lost the first year to the Knicks. Again a terrible outing. Then last year, it disappeared again. Maybe I’ll call him Hodinivan Mitchell. Watch him disappear! Just when I was beginning to trust him, he’s doing it again. This is his way of pouting about something.

[@WaltMortimer]

Then okc blows them out🤷‍♂️

[@hellionus]

Donovan Mitchell is the new king of Cleveland.

[@alphabrother6823]

I would love if the Cavs won post-Bron

[@jowasijo]

Ok so actually never ever ever make another Cavs video. Thanks!

[@geordiejones5618]

Does anyone actually believe they're going anywhere? The Bucks did this in 2020 and got hosed in the second round. Winning a bunch in the regular season more often doesn't translate to playoff success.

[@dewaynerobvais4030]

Celtics did it in 2024, Nuggets did it in 2023, Warriors did it in 2017 Cavs could do it but me personally I don’t see the Cavs winning the finals 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Divinity-evil]

Casuals who only watched this team play a handful of times should keep their delusional opinions to themselves. This team isn’t the same

[@JoshuaALockhart]

I have a question. Is wild for me for to think that AD is greater and better than Charles Barkley.

[@mr.crispyfriedchicken3946]

Not super wild. Barkley has an MVP but IMO his best season (which isn't even his MVP season) is still worse than AD'S best season. AD has had the weirdest luck when it comes to injuries and award races and I sincerely believe not all of it is his fault.

[@ryanbranch1430]

Still not beating the Celtics in a 7 game series.

[@troliskimosko]

Right cause they’ll beat them in 5

They very well could. You’d be an idiot to just assume someone can beat a 70 win team just bc they won the chip the year prior

[@MihoyMinoy-si8fb]

@troliskimosko I’m taking the Celtics until somebody beats them in a seven game series. The Cavs ain’t it. 2015 Hawks vibes

[@ianardell4660]

@ they are demonstrably not the hawks. Better coach, an actual superstar player, a better offense and defense. You can pick the Celtics as I do but you don’t have to call them frauds. The hawks won 60 games these cavs are set to win 10 more games in a harder East

[@trollking4058]

Nah. That team had no all nba talent. This team does. D Mitch is a superstar come playoffs, D Garland was already an all star player, Mobley is a DPOY level player that also plays good offense and they're surrounded by good role players and a winning system. Best part, there's no Bron in the east
