Saturday night edition of the pod unfortunately I'm not going to be able to maintain this level of enthusiasm

It's gonna be a little shorter show tonight just because it wasn't really that interesting of a game

Cleveland came out like I think a lot of us expected

116 to 86 or 30 point blot Dan felburn actually had

Interesting stat that the last five 30 point blots in the playoffs of all involved Cleveland

And a bunch of a lot of Cleveland and Boston

Interestingly enough two of them in Cleveland's ledger last year in the Eastern Conference finals

So where should we begin here Daniel? I think we should start with Cleveland just playing with greater effort

I thought you could see it in a couple of different places one was certainly defensively they were getting back better

But also they were focusing on the defensive rebounds and one player who I think exemplified it was George Hill

I just thought he looked more engaged in this game

He was got a little bit of juice because he was playing well and getting shots to fall early

But that improved effort was to me a significant part not the only part but a significant part of the win

Hey, you mentioned the transition defense Boston got absolutely nothing

in transition in this game and when they did try to run they weren't able to actually convert it all

You mentioned Cleveland's pressure and those do this sometimes they come out for the first three minutes the game and pressure up

And I thought Hill did that even picked up full court a couple of times

I thought the bigger thing too was just that Cleveland because it was 20 to 4 after seven minutes of this game

And you know, I don't think Boston ever got it below 10 after that and so four points in the first seven minutes of the game

We've seen that Boston just is not the same team offensively on the road in these playoffs with waiter

They are now one in five they had a 99

Offensive rating coming in on the road and through the competitive portion of the game three quarters in this one
