I love this shift to YouTube lives. Finally catching up with trends huh? They’ve underutilized their channel for so long.

Bill and Ryen could fit together into Bill's t-shirt neck

38:36 is when they start talking wolves nugs

[hybcgaming]

Love the live YouTubes Bill! Keep em comin. Give Ryen some of your hair!

[Justinrombough]

What a great game 7. Can't wait for the rest of this Min/Den series!

[imperialmoose]

Loving these live streams, great job!

I think it’s an underrated part about ant. At 22, he’s managed to keep a team with kat, Rudy, Anderson and Jaden to name a few who are all very different volatile personalities and leads while staying friends. There aren’t many guys that could handle one much less all of them (see Mitchell and butler)

[muratkilic]

Russilo somehow brings Chris Paul into the equation. Man has no shame.

[LUNATIC]

Ceruti is a generational homer. Not putting Suggs in for booker would be wild

[jaylunwilliams]

If these dudes did a draft on "players that get compared to all the time" Dwayne wade would be number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

[donaldw]

They didn’t put towns back in for the papers. Check towns defense vs Jokic. Best in the league BY FAR

[Bodave]

It really gets old when your team wins and the media still cant stop just picking your team apart and trying to trade away your players

[christopherwoxland]

The distance point by Russilo is completely right, same as Lakers last year

16:43 Hey Bill- you were confused by Mosley playing 10 in a Game 7, but Bickerstaff played 11 in the first half. We are pretty fed up with him here in Cleveland, so lucky they pulled that one out.

[ryanwall]

The thing about Ant is that he is still learning and maturing. During the regular season Ant definitely took nights off against teams he thinks as lesser. He was also using those games to get off the ball and learn how to facilitate. By the end of the season he was putting it all together. That kept his ppg low enough to not consider him for MVP. Wilbon gave him a 2nd place vote, though.

[mindyourbuisness]

As a cavs fan i was all in on Mitchell with the double bigs in concept. But its clear they need to play Mobley at the 5 keep one of the guards probably garland because mitchell wont want to stay and then keep swinging for wings to play around them. Ironically markannen would be a perfect 4 for them

[eddyalvarenga]

Remember Bill and Ryen, Franz was a World Cup champion and had very little time to rest before the season started. His shooting is there but this year it suffered due to the extended time playing competitive basketball. Would he be able to improve his shooting next year? There is the Olympics coming up, which is not as intense as the WC with less games but still would be taking time and stress on his summer.

2021 most people thought Bucks-Nets in the 2nd round was the defacto "finals"

[JarrettJames-ri]

Cleveland fan here. Happy for the discussion, don’t take offense to the trade talks. Do you think Mitchell extends if LeBron comes back on a minimum deal to finish out his career? What’s their ceiling if that happens?

[florianwarnecke]

Franz had a horrible game 7. But he had a great game 6, which also was an elimination game. I feel like those takes are way overhyped. Pretty sure he will find his shot again next season and all this talk will be over.
