## Resource

Locked on Cavs host Danny Cunningham joins Ken and Lima and stops just short of saying the Cavs are back in control of the series, pointing to the road struggles as the one thing keeping him from going all the way there. Danny breaks down why Cade Cunningham is being worn down by the sheer volume of defensive attention he is facing, and argues the Cavs are uniquely built to throw multiple credible defenders at him in a way most Eastern Conference teams simply cannot. He also makes the case that the soft label on the Cavs bigs needs to be retired after this series, with Evan Mobley and Jared Allen making Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart look ordinary through four games. On LeBron, Danny says the Cavs should never say no to him if the price is right, and that Cleveland is actually a better fit for a championship run than staying in LA with a Lakers roster that needs a full rebuild around Luka.
