Summary
Ken and Lima land on Evan Mobley as the most important Cavalier in the Eastern Conference Finals, making the case that his pterodactyl wingspan and defensive instincts are the one thing the Knicks haven't seen all postseason — and that Carl Anthony Towns running point at the top of the key is going to look a lot different when Mobley is stationed right in front of him. The broader conversation touches on why Cleveland fans are still holding this team at arm's length despite being one of four teams left standing, with Ken genuinely puzzled that a likable, drama-free roster can't seem to generate the same citywide energy that the LeBron era teams did. With the Cavs as 7.5-point underdogs tonight at MSG, Ken points to the San Antonio-OKC result as proof that short turnarounds and crowd noise don't automatically determine outcomes — and that Donovan Mitchell lighting up Madison Square Garden is not some far-fetched scenario.
