What is the Cleveland Cavaliers’ best asset/trait?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a wagon. After beating the Portland Trail Blazers Tuesday night, Cleveland has regained a commanding lead over the Boston Celtics for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
But with 10 games left to go, it’s time to ask if Kenny Atkinson and his staff feel like they know what this team does best and where it still needs work.
At this point, what is the Cavs’ “thing” it can rely on come playoff time?
Jason Lloyd and McNuggets dive into that to try and figure out the Cavs’ hammer and what it can rely most on come playoff time.
Darius Garland had 27 points and eight assists to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 122-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.
Ty Jerome scored 25 points off the bench and Evan Mobley had 21 points and 12 rebounds in the win.
Portland’s Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe each had 18 points in the loss.
Cleveland (58-14) has a five-game lead over Boston for first place in the Eastern Conference with 10 games left to play.
Portland (32-41) is 3½ games behind Phoenix for 10th place in the Western Conference and the final spot in the play-in tournament.
The Cavaliers were without star guard Donovan Mitchell, who is managing a left groin injury.
Takeaways
Cavaliers: Coach Kenny Atkinson isn’t overly concerned with the Cavs owning the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. His main goal is for his team to be healthy and hit their stride come playoff time. “If it’s the first seed, second seed, third seed, I don’t know. Maybe I should be putting more credence into that,” Atkinson said. “But I do think there have been cases where teams have really tried to bust it and you know, really go for a seed, and I’m not sure that’s the right approach either.”

Depth. If they keep it close going into the forth they can win every game.
Depth and the fact that they’re still underestimated. People just don’t think the Cavs are as good as they are until they smack them in the face!!!
Depth…which becomes nullified in the Playoffs
Cavs best attribute is there bench and Atkinson 😊
What is kobe dislike for a 7 foot center that can rebound.
The answer is creative matchups because of depth
Strength: passing. Weakness: rebounding
Depth they should still play 10 man rotation
definitely coaching
strength: lineups. Depth is important in the regular season, but leveraging that depth to create advantageous lineups will be key in the post-season. No other teams can go super small or super big like we can.
The best thing they do is team ball. They all share the ball.
Cav's Strength is Depth and 3 Point Shooting. Cav's Weakness is Rebounding and Backcourt Defense.
Best Line-up will Depend on Their Opponent. Closing Line-up Mobley, Hunter, Mitchell, Garland and Ty Jerome. Jarrett Allen will play 30 plus minutes but sit at the very end.
Their strength is Froggy🐸🏀😜
Yall really just cut off half the video and reposted it
