CAVS & OKC: FAVORITES OR NO? DALLAS MISERY, LAKERS OPTIMISM, & LEGIT TITLE CONTENDERS – EPISODE 1067
On this episode, Mike and Jason discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers’ recent impressive performances, including their comeback win in Boston, the 4th quarter Cavalanche against the Bulls, and their 11-game winning streak. They analyze the Cavs’ playoff potential, matchups, and rotation strategies. The conversation shifts to the impact of Kyrie Irving’s injury on the Dallas Mavericks and the implications for their season moving forward. Next, they touch on the Western Conference 10th seed and which team amongst the Mavs, Suns, and Blazers will grab the final play-in spot. Then Mike and Jason look at the five teams they think have a legitimate chance to win the NBA Championship, the Cavs, Celtics, Thunder, Nuggets, and Lakers and wonder why the Thunder and Cavs aren’t the overwhelming favorites their lead in the standings would suggest. The episode wraps up with a quick back and forth on the struggles of the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid’s health issues.
