Welcome on to your NBA finals hangover edition of the dunkton basketball podcast, but we are just getting started here

We get the whole off season coming up and that's gonna start with the recently vanquished cleaving Cavaliers off season preview

Also got to talk about a promising point guard out of France in this year's draft Frank Tillikina

Could be a target of the nix or mavericks late in the top 10

So let's start here Danny. We just saw this Cleveland team absolutely dominate the Eastern Conference playoffs

They of course could not defend the Warriors that was there undoing they scored extremely well in this series

So what do we think it is that the Cleveland Cavaliers need to be more competitive with the Warriors?

That to me is the starting point before we can begin to discuss the rossies ideally

I think the best I be beyond just you know like more start talent

Which is hard for them to do and we'll talk about that

I would say players that can switch defensively but can still credibly hit open shots because you can't sacrifice

Their spacing to fill the defensive lows because then you just create all new problems

That's an important point and we look at how good Lebron was in these finals

Statistically, I mean this is arguably a better golden state defense than the ones that he went up against although

Andre Guadalaj is not quite as good now dream on green

Maybe was better the last couple years, but he is still great and also the Warriors were scoring

So well they almost didn't need to defend quite as well

We didn't see also as much of the green at center lineups that are their best defensive units against Cleveland

But the reason I think that James I don't know that he well, you know, maybe yes

Maybe he is a better player at 32 than he was at 30 because he just couldn't hit a jump shot

Like maybe that's the biggest issue and then remember last year too
