As a cavs fan i have a mixed history with draymon but i respect his honest assessment. Takes a real man to give flowers to his ops.

[@robmangeri777]

Finally commentators that see what I’m seeing!!! And these are guys that have been there and done that. The Cavs are for real, the ball is moving and they are DEEEP!!!

[@LeoLikeNoOther]

They are also athletic, big, strong, and long (pause) they are a nightmare match up for the second best team in the league (GSW)

[@123rygonn]

Big Respect Draymond. Your a warrior. As a Cavs fans I have mad respect for your game and your knowledge. Your words have credence because you battled in the biggest games in League History.

[@Sbrabson04]

Thanks for talking about my team Dray!

[@nickmoorman6359]

@@TheNinthHeartmost outlets spend 30 seconds on the Cavs and usually comes with the caveat of “but they’re not real contenders yet” or “their schedules been too easy” or something of that nature

The media drives this but idk why ppl act like nba 2023 is nba 2024. The best teams are the ones proving it.

[@otislamar8613]

2024 was last year that’s why the Celtics are the 2024 NBA champs.

[@itskmillz]

@@otislamar8613 Yes but this is the 2024-2025 season, that was the 2023-2024 season. The Nuggets won the title in 2023 but got bounced early in 2024, new year new teams. Cavs had an awful start last year, they have a perfect 13-0 start this year. Are they the same team?

[@noirlycan1785]

Kenny is transforming Mobley into a 7 foot Draymond. Scary Hours.

[@mainemusso44]

Don’t be disrespectful. He is a 7 foot Chris Bosh

[@mainemusso44]

We got Chris Bosh and tim Duncan/ Ben Wallace in Allen and Mobley

[@noirlycan1785]

​@@mainemusso44No disrespect. Mobley's role in the cavs offense more Dray style than Bosh style. Bosh is a finisher. Dray is a connector.

[@gregoryjones8440]

Mobley is both a finisher and connector. He’s not Mr. Triple Single I can tell you that!

[@khalilismail666]

I like Draymond's podcast as opposed to Gil Arenas'. Feels like comparing the adult versus the kids table. Baron Davis is one of my favorite all time Cavaliers, too.

[@marvinwyatt5631]

Perfectly said. You have a good Show Dray. I'm subbing now

Draymond got one of the best basketball minds and I all ready believe in my Cavs and Draymond put the icy on the cake 🎂 🏀👏🏾🙏🏾

[@Drfresh1402]

This Cavs team is better than GSW right now. And I’m a GSW fan. It’s hard to admit but they are deadly. I can’t wait to see them face Boston.

[@andrejohnson4663]

That's what i want to see this Tuesday. The game against us warriors was not a real test like baron Davis said. They are great but them shooting 70% from 3 in the first is what caused the big separation

great analysis

Someone with serious high basketball IQ, multiple rings, and perennial DPOY nominations like Draymond giving respect...??

[@5josephg]

[@badingledongle]

Like a lot of Cavs fans I've had mixed feelings about Draymond but my hat is off to him now. This is the first comprehensive, holistic assessment of this team I've really seen - not just sound bite reactions and "oh is it a fluke" but an actual evaluation of the team's composition and the game they're playing from someone who's actually played against it and who seriously Knows Ball. Love the respect given to the bench, too. Thanks, Dray

[@alexcika9906]

Finally some Respect legit Respect !!!!!!!!!

[@waterboyENT]

This Cavs team gives me 2015 warriors vibes.

[@jeremyarrington9427]

yeah it's ironic but the cavs do remind me of the warriors

[@thenim4963]

Cavs legend Baron Davis

[@khalilismail666]

One of my favorite Cavaliers but he was SOOO talented. Them injuries robbed him of a lot but he was crafty AF with the ball.

[@216Numbskull]

HTF is Baron Davis a Cavs legend? I don't get it, he only played with the Cavs for 1 year.

[@nicholasalvarez1159]

⁠@@216Numbskull his trade to clippers was the reason we got Kyrie Irving… that’s why he refer red to him as a cavs legend lol

[@deshaunshort2364]

Cleveland guy here, and much respect for just being honest and real

[@banditY2K]

Draymond can get goofy sometimes but dude knows ball!

[@randycantwell1275]

Let's goo CAVS

[@ElJefeHodges-nc3mu]

The ball movement is on point right now. Hope we can keep it going.

[@dvdv8197]

They could go 20-0 seeing their upcoming roster, which would of course be hugely impressive! But I don't see them beating Warriors record 24-0 start. 😊😄

[@jeremyarrington9427]

@dvdv8197 yeah that's a tough record to break. we shall see.

[@itskmillz]

if they actually do beat Boston 20-0 is very doable. Beating Boston twice will be required to beat the 24-0, also going through the Nuggets. But again, all other games are vs fairly weak opponents. Not super hard to see this team going 22-2.

[@TheNinthHeart]

@@itskmillzthere aren’t anymore “weak” opponents in the NBA. That was the point of the new cap/second apron, genius

[@itskmillz]

@@TheNinthHeart Of course there are weak teams. The only teams the Cavs have left to face in their first 25 games with a winning record are the Celtics and the Nuggets, by definition teams with a losing record are WEAKER than the ones at the top of the standings. Every game will be hard to win because they are professionals, but you can call one team "weaker" than the other. I also said "fairly weak" not "very weak" and I said that despite some of these teams being 2-9 or 2-11.

[@badingledongle]

Yeah, I mean it's very unlikely. 24-0 is crazy, and that 2015-16 warriors team was world historically good. That's a really tough record to break for anyone. Hell, the buzzsaw GSW teams that went on to win chips the next couple years afterward didn't match it.

[@MrMjbomba5]

Good take. Last season it seemed like Darius Garland played a traditional 1990’s PG role. Darius Garland (Eye test) skill wise has one of the deepest bags in the league hands down and always has. I believe the synergy of Garland and Mitchell and Evan Mobleys ball handingly as far as the ability yo get to the rim and make his own shot is big. Lets not forget Jarrett Allen has been underrated for years now

[@ArchyBeatz]

Man IDK how people are still asking this question. Thought it'd be obvious that the Cavs are winning a championship. Leggo Cavs.

[@khalilismail666]

Slow down, lets take this one game at a time, but this start is super encouraging!

[@TheNinthHeart]

No one is asking anything anymore

[@AJLD1]

Need to see Tuesday how they do against the Celtics

[@dvbaby2120]

All we need to do is stay healthy!!!!

[@greasyghost]

Excellent insight

[@exceptionallife4768]

Okoro hitting that three consistently is the x factor for this whole run and maybe the whole year... You don't have to take his defense off the floor and the offensive spacing...

[@dvbaby2120]

Last year he couldn’t hit water if he fell off a boat! He worked on his jumper this summer Forsure!!

[@joegreezy]

Wild Draymond giving the Cavs their flowers 💐. 🫡

[@Kzmotivo]

This is the Cleveland team I envisioned last year.

[@poshko41]

I will take the word of a guy who is actually playing in the league any day over the talking heads in the mass media who STILL don't want to give the Cavs any love whatsoever.

[@TheNothing6]

Kenny Atkinson said that he respects Draymond. Cavs are pretty good.

[@domenicac.giampaolo9277]

Im definitely not a fan of draymond but i have to say thank you for putting respect on my cavs and especially my guy Darius.

[@holdurhorse9149]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are off to an exceptional start in the 2024-25 NBA season, currently boasting a historic 14-0 record. Led by a core of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, they are playing some of the best basketball in the Eastern Conference. The team has improved under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, utilizing balanced scoring, strong defense, and efficient rotations. With this momentum, the Cavaliers are emerging as a significant contender in the East this season.

[@Mmarra88]

Respect to Draymond facts

[@aesirgaming1014]

As a Celtics's fan, I love what Cleveland is doing and they are 100% for real. I do think Boston can beat them in a seven game series, especially if KP is healthy. I think in seven games, Cleveland will struggle to deal with Boston's five-out lineups that will pull their bigs away from the paint more.

[@ericmanlet1382]

I got2 give it2 Dreymond, he is r enemy giving respect where it's due so respect back bro way2 keep it real cause Cleveland we doing it this yr. We might lose games of course but quite note i would b like if i was the coach f it unless we get injured and need2 rest i want every single W all the way thru til we r holding up that trophy 🏆 we r in 4a fun yr, it's always been fun watching this young team but man they r 130+ a game almost rocking it.

[@Iceman-xe7jo]

They know how to close games now. They have went on big runs late in the 4th quarters this season. Let’s just see how long they can hold this up. I want to see how teams in the east are looking the last quarter of the season. It’s a marathon.

[@jcbuckeye]

Respect

[@AquariumSurge]

As a Celtic fan I am impressed with the Cavs. Their coaching, shooting, and defensive intensity is credited to Atkins.. I always felt sorry for Donovan being stuck on a bad team.. I think they will probably beat the Celtics next week because they are Hot as hell and Celtics are kind of going through the motions. Come play off time I still take my Celtics this year but definately feel Cavs are a serious threat.

[@mikebrewer8559]

As a Cavs fan I hate Draymond but I always respected him and appreciate the compliments he’s giving them. Cavs are making believers out of everybody!

[@andrejohnson4663]

You're only respecting him because of his nice compliments only proves no matter what draymond says you will disagree with him until he say something u want to hear. That's being biased and your words have no weight. That's to a lot of Cavs fans on here. Draymond words have weight because he knows what he is talking about. When speaking from a basketball point of view of other teams, draymond never been biased. So let's call it fair and not be biased. If draymond was saying something u didn't like but was telling the truth u would hate him more. Hate him or like him all I'm saying is Draymond is a realist regardless of a different team. So, my main point is if he say something u don't like, respect him and his opinion because he's being real and not biased. Thats why them other analysts have a agenda, they dont speak truth. Draymond do. Be blessed 🙌

The real question is are the 9-2 Warriors contenders? 🤔

[@dvdv8197]

And the answer is HELL YES!! 🤩🤩👍👏🔥🔥🥳🥳♥️♥️

[@wilcoxcmc]

Yes. Defense is being played all around the board. If Melton and Heild play like this all year and no injuries they definitely got a shot. They already beat Dallas and OKC. Those are last year conference championship teams. Still think one more piece is needed though.

[@dvdv8197]

@@wilcoxcmc no serious* injuries. Melton has already missed a few games and is out again for tonight. 😅🙈

The answer is yes... the Warriors are contenders. They may not be favorites but they are contenders.

Yes.

[@Drbob369]

Other than bron and bronny getting all the nba shine to begin the season the way the cavs are playing is saving the nba season as a whole because you got the ones that’s gonna cheer and the ones that’s gonna boo especially it being a Cleveland sports team who’s city gets hate in all major sports period, the nba is so lame now a 40 yr old and a 19-20yr old nba lurch is the only thing the league really can talk about so it’s great to hear a team that’s small martlet get the love because they sure do always get the hate

[@tk3567]

Dray Day knows wus up, warriors looking good 2 out west

[@natanaelmercado9167]

Celtics whole lineup can dribble pass and shoot so idk what baron talking about 😂. Cavs are really good and have shown to be a threat. Problem is celts have d white and jrue who can guard cavs guards and they dont have the size on the wing to guard the jays or handle kp on switches. That being said it would be a good series

[@butchtommasino]

their rotations with 3 or 4 reserves with one of the bigs mobley/allen are beating teams starting rotations and going on 20pt swings lol. never seen anything like this in the nba before. then they put dean wade at center and played small ball!! it's hilarious. i really wish it was a fluke but the more games they win the more undeniable it becomes only time i ever felt that was with the 2014-15 warriors. it is must watch basketball.

[@traviscoates6878]

Dray what happened last night?

[@joegetter]

I hate (but respect) Draymond the opposing player, but I LOVE Draymond off the floor. I felt the same way about Barkley. When Barkley hangs it up, I have a feeling Draymond will be my #1 guy.

[@theaveragecitizen7130]

Cap, Cleveland looks great but Boston definitely has more guys that can create their own shots outside of Tatum and Brown. Holiday, White and Porzingus are capable of scoring at will. Not to mention Payton Pritchard and Al Horford

[@TheNinthHeart]

Youve got to be joking

[@buckeyestate5133]

​@TheNinthHeart What Cleveland is doing is nice. They are most definitely Bostons biggest threat in the east. As a Cavs fan myself, I have to respect Boston. Just cause we are 14-0 doesn't mean we will walk all over them in a 7 game series. Boston has some nice pieces and I'm curious to see how we stack up against them. The East still runs through Boston. We still have to dethrone them.
