...With that in mind, sports analyst Gabriella Kreuz claimed that this was perhaps the best Cleveland Cavaliers team she had ever seen.

Talking on the Full Court Cleveland podcast, she admitted that she never thought that she would watch another team that would get her as excited as the one with LeBron James and Mo Williams back in the day. Of course, this team doesn’t have a proven superstar, and that’s why some still have doubts about their ability to get the job done in the postseason.

They have yet to prove themselves at the highest level, and they’ve had some issues against more physical teams in the past, especially in a seven-game series. Then again, given how dominant and strong they’ve been all season long, there’s no reason to believe they can’t replicate that success in the playoffs.

Kenny Atkinson has brought the best out of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, and even Darius Garland, who had a reputation for disappearing in the clutch, has been great down the stretch. Things are always different in the playoffs, and rotations tend to shrink, but this team has a deep roster full of players who have stepped up and embraced their roles. And while they might not have LeBron James or Kyrie Irving, they might be a better team if we look at the entire roster.
