This week in Cavaliers talk
The shows have spent the week parsing Cleveland's loaded roster and championship ceiling. Talk keeps circling back to whether the Cavs can stay consistent through a tough East, with particular focus on Evan Mobley's offensive development and Donovan Mitchell's predictability in key moments. After a rough loss to Philadelphia where Cleveland blew a huge lead, the concern is whether depth improvements are enough to avoid another playoff disappointment.
