This was exactly why nobody believed in the Cavs run. Getting blown out when both of the other team’s centers are out and you have 2 “all star “ bigs. While Donovan Mitchell your best player looks like a deer caught in headlights

[@nickmoorman6359]

So one game now discredits everything they done? Cmon bro

[@Mo13uckets]

@nickmoorman6359 Never said that but all season long ppl have been skeptical about this team’s ability to perform when it matters most. And if they had simply lost this game by a few points no one would care but getting blown out given the circumstances is not promising for a team that has a history of flaming out in the playoffs

[@paujuscafresa5762]

Quite amazes me how much recognition and validation gets Draymond G. for NOT being violent and how the players who suffered the agression get no attention at all. Jordan Poole has a masive interview, specially considering how his career has been decimated after Draymond's agression. Though I firmly appreciate the courage and generosity for opening up about therapy by Green, all looks like as an apology of the bully to me. The reporting is great. At the same time, adding other point of views to complete the story would by appropriate in my opion. Thanks for the content in any case. Cheers

[@Murali_bala13]

You can pencil in the thunder in the finals.... And not only that, they may breeze thru West playoffs losing max 2-3 games total.. Rest of West needs to recalibrate their goals for this season...a WCF trip is best case scenario for rest of West

[@CaseyLynn-i7u]

Maybe. If they are healthy OKC is going to be one tough out. They've grown as a team. Sadly players are going to want to get paid and they'll start losing pieces. Pieces make OKC great. It's not just the starters.

[@DHKer23]

I think it’s hard to get stomped by 42 and give up a 30-2 run during an NBA game.

[@soonerintexas.3845]

Trading Dort is one of the dumbest things said on this podcast.

[@J-Hue]

The luxury Dort affords them by consistently limiting opposing stars' offense can't be understated. A look at Denver's struggles this year vs last after the loss of KCP and how Orlando has played with him and a healthy roster this year highlights it too. The impact of a great 3 and D player should never be taken for granted.

[@ZenWaves7]

OKC fan checking in to say I was nearly as shocked as Cavs fans and maybe the Cavs organization by how OKC executed. They were sharp! Respect to the Cavs. Haven’t listened to the pod yet. They may take heat for this loss. For their sake, hopefully they get better from it. Let’s go OKC! Shai is MVP!

[@nickmoorman6359]

OKC has legit contributors 1-15 which is scary. The NBA needs a Cleveland OKC finals.

[@Abhinav-mpeg4]

i dont excuse draymond for anything. and all this therapy talk is a facade that hides his true self. he is quite literally a sociopath who knows that an article like this will give him grace to lash out aggressively again with out being at fault because he "healed his mind through therapy"

[@Toomuchmycuz]

It’s crazy to think that the eventual champions are guaranteed to add 1 lottery pick next year in Topic… the Philly pick is high chance and could be #7 at best in a stacked class… and 2 other picks in that draft too. And our best players are under 26. What the heck

@@Blpnokosher No thats the point. You can be a not-ethical player, but you wont get love for that. Look at Wemby, he insists on playing ethically, and even uses those words and says stuff like "you can't go against the basketball gods". Sure maybe SGA will win some stuff, but you don't win fans by being like Harden which is who he is

[@blablablaa14]

Its time for us to stop doing this whole "OKC is a team defense" when Lu Dort just shuts down an opposing player on his own. At some point people need to give Dort his flowers. He is the best perimeter defender in the entire league and its not even close. Outside of Wemby, Dort is the DPOY

[@J-Hue]

At this point, he does deserve heavy DPOY consideration. His ability to consistently limit opposing stars is crucial to OKC's dominance this year.

draymond "hasn't completely crossed the line". Yeah, ok, but grabbing Edey's foot was like walking up the the edge of a massive cliff and leaning way the hell over. No history with the rookie. No reason to grab him like that. Literally nobody in the league acts like that.... and his comments after the game on his own podcast was basically "what are you talking about, nothing happened". If he was "better" he'd acknowledge "yeah man, I acted out there, and caught myself...." That would have shown me growth. First own up to your mistakes - otherwise you'll never truly get better

It's embarassing that he has to hire these media lackeys to run PR for him when we all know who he is and what he does. Nothing's changed with Draymond, he's still doing the same things on the court he'd been doing his whole career. It will never change.
