Summary
The Cavs blew out Detroit 125-94 in Game 7 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, and Ken declares the season a success regardless of what happens next against the Knicks. He points out that a team which started 17-16 with fans calling for trades and firings has now proven itself as one of the four best teams in the NBA, which is exactly what the James Harden trade was supposed to accomplish. Ken also raves about Dan Gilbert bussing Cavs fans to Game 7 in Detroit, which turned into an all-time experience when the Cavs took over the arena in the fourth quarter and won by 31. The one honest note Ken sounds heading into the series: the Knicks have been resting while Cleveland just survived a dogfight, and Game 1 might not go their way.
