Nick Pedone is joined by Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz to break down the Cavs’ shocking collapse against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. After getting blown out in Game 1, Cleveland never recovered, and Greg explains why he believes the series exposed one of the worst coaching performances he’s seen in the NBA playoffs.
The two discuss why Kenny Atkinson’s future should be under serious scrutiny, why Greg says he “wouldn’t have blinked an eye” if the Cavs moved on from him, and why the organization’s quick leak that Atkinson’s job is safe raised eyebrows around the league. Plus: what comes next for the Cavaliers? Nick and Greg dive into the future of the roster, potential changes this offseason, and whether this core is truly built to contend.
