Part 3/7:

While analysts acknowledge the ongoing threat posed by the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, the Cavaliers are being recognized for their potential to upset established expectations. Cleveland has shown size, athleticism, and shooting prowess, bolstered by the exceptional coaching of Kenny Atkinson. The strategic game plan, particularly through the facilitation of Evan Mobley, has drawn comparisons to styles of play seen with championship teams like the Golden State Warriors.

The effectiveness of the Cavaliers' roster is underscored by the rotation that allows for seamless continuity. With many players averaging around 17 minutes per game, they benefit from youthful energy and versatility on the court. This depth becomes increasingly valuable as teams prepare for the playoff grind.
