02:24 – Cavs Playoff X-Factor: Keon Ellis
Deep dive into who Kenny Atkinson’s rotational X-factor could be for the Cavaliers in the playoffs, focusing on Keon Ellis, his variable minutes, and impact based on matchups.
11:04 – Evan Mobley's Recent Improvement
Discussion about Evan Mobley’s development, increased offensive aggression, improved health post-injury, and what’s changed in his game over the last few matchups.
Mobley needs to play with at least the same intensity as Ellis. He is reigning DPOY and paid a super max contract. Good player, but not nearly worth that contract.
Tatum is going to play on Friday.
I feel Tyson finding his role and fitting in this new offense is the x-factor. Can he give us 12pts and 8 boards while playing physical defense on a Cade, on a Tatum? Can he get back to being automatic from 3? If he does that while Mobley, Allen, Mitchell and Harden all cook we are going to be very hard to stop.
Love the pods regularly, but this has way too many ads for a 17 minute clip
