I can't see either of these teams or the Hawks giving Cleveland trouble. Oh well.

Hawks did in the regular season.

Giddey is having an alright game statistically. He just isn't able to carry the Bulls overall. Their defense looks bad and he maybe shares blame for that bit he's not the only one. I only watch them when they're playing a certain other team though, I don't know a lot about them.

13 points on 54.71% TS (league average is 57.6 TS%), 3/2 AST/TO ratio, -16, not making a difference on d. He doesn't look good.

Teams ebb and flow over the course of the season and the Hawks traded one of their best players to Cleveland for some future pick package showing the team management doesn't believe in them. Their best player, Trae Young, is a double-edged sword. Great offensive player and great scoring in the clutch but he can absolutely get attacked on the other end, I don't see what they can do with him to hide him defensively. I suppose him and Garland could take turns killing each other but Cleveland is better at keeping Garland from being exposed.

I can picture a pissed off Trae cooking in game 7 to knock the Cavs out of the first round in a heartbreaker.

This is why Atlanta gave them issues. Cleveland's starting back court is small and gives Trae room to do what he does.

Although this season Trae was only 19/14/3 on 39/27/93 splits. Horrible efficiency. Plus I think those were have before the Hunter trade.

They have to beat the Heat first if they win.

I'm not even that high on the Cavs but you guys are crazy if you think the Hawks would scare them in any way. That would be a 5 game series max.

All right I'll eat crow on Giddey, he's scoring pretty well. Still don't think this Bulls team is any good though.

One of the best games I've seen Herro play. Miserably bad game for Coby White, wow.

Probably for the best. Hopefully, Adam Silver rewards CHI with a high pick for actually trying to win. One Cooper Flagg, please.

Apparently, spoelstra and wiggins were too much for them to overcome. Those two have veteran postseason experience in them.

Most of the Heat core does.
