This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stucats podcast.

Right now on the television Zaslow on first take, they are asking the question, are Cavs proving to be the tougher matchup for the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals?

The thing that I wanted to ask you guys, if you've been listening

to the show for a while, you've heard me say that Toronto, an otherwise good team, has exactly

zero chance if it had faced the New York Knicks because of the matchup problems. Cleveland

has been exposed the last few years. I don't get it, but they have more

trouble with Mitchell Robinson. Their front line has more trouble with Mitchell Robinson than

any team in the league, and he has rendered mobily useless a few times, and I think Jared

Allen missed one of the series. But Cleveland, pre-James Harden, no shot against the Knicks, 0% shot.

But James Harden changes things.

And the thing that I wanted to ask you guys based on last night's game, okay?

Cade Cunningham turns the ball over a lot, but they've got a lot of limitations. And there isn't a player who's cost himself more money this postseason than Jalen Durr. Oh, off. I mean, just dismantled in a way that's super weird for an All-Star. Like not a big-time player? I mean, just not an all-star. Not proving to be an all-star.

Did it play in the fourth or overtime? Well, they were plus 14 when he wasn't on the court. Last handful of games for Jalen Duren. 9, 5 rebounds, 4 assists. 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists. How do you have 4 rebounds every game? Eight points, ten rebounds, one assist.

But this is what I'm telling you about what Mowgli and Allen can do to assist. How do you have four rebounds every game? Eight points, ten rebounds, one

assists. But this is what I'm telling you about what Mowgli and Allen can do to somebody like

Duren. They can't do to the Knicks. Like they have serious issues on Mitchell Robinson,

but James Harden and that trade is meant to be a difference maker. And the thing that I wanted to ask you guys and the audience,
