I have Cavs beating Knicks in six games.

The long layoff is going to hurt #Knicks early in the series, and I believe Cleveland is going steal two games at MSG. It’s going to take #NYKnicks some time to get their legs back underneath them after being off for so long.

Cleveland already has tweapons with Donovan Mitchell, James Harden and Evan Mobley. All they need is #JarredAllen to dominate the paint and control boards the way he did against Detroit. If that happens, I see #Cavs winning in six

As the leaked promotion to the EFC on ABC/ESPN predicted yesterday, the Cleveland @cavs are heading to the Eastern Conference Finals. Taking out the 1-seeded Detroit Pistons 125-94 and will face the Knicks for a trip to the Finals.

3 yrs ago when the #Knicks & #Cavs met in the 1st Rd, Jarrett Allen & Evan Mobley were outmuscled in the paint

3 yrs later, those 2 are once again the key for Cleveland vs KAT & Mitchell Robinson..their consistency in effort & physicality will be significant

#Pistons had the 3rd best scoring D in the NBA during the reg sea allowing just under 110 ppg

entering tonight, through 13 playoff gms:
7-1 when allowing under 110
0-5 when surrendering more

#Cavs have 110 w/ 8:20 remaining in the 4th

their success has always been tied to D

#Cavs are getting downhill with ease..dribble penetration, offensive putbacks, whatever they want

#Pistons lack of defensive tenacity/hustle is completely out of character to the point where it feels like The Nerdlucks from Space Jam took their powers

#CLEvsDET #NBAPlayoffs

#Cavs outhustled the #Pistons in the 1st half & Detroit's defense lacked discipline..16 fouls & way too many high % looks at the rim for Cleveland

Detroit has overcome double-digit deficits this postseason but it starts with better D
