Part 4/7:
Marks highlighted the evolution of the Cavaliers compared to last year’s squad, noting that this season’s team is not reliant solely on Donovan Mitchell's high-scoring performances, showing a newfound depth in the roster. With Darius Garland performing at an all-star level and Mobley stepping up, Cleveland’s offensive identity under coach J.B. Bickerstaff continues to blossom.
Despite Cleveland's impressive showing, Marks cautioned fans against prematurely anointing them as favorites for the NBA Finals, reiterating Boston's pedigree and status as a formidable obstacle.
