## Resource

Ken and Lima push back on the growing frustration with the Cavs' sloppy stretches, making the case that fans are holding this roster to an unfair standard built during the LeBron era when a Finals trip felt like a birthright rather than something you had to scratch and claw for. The turnovers aren't laziness — there's cause and effect at play, and when Harden trusts his teammates and Mitchell takes over, the problems largely disappear, which is exactly what happens in Game 5. The bigger picture is that this team is actually getting better as the playoffs go on, the Toronto series hardened them, and with the Knicks waiting and a brutal 3-games-in-5-days schedule looming, Cleveland fans need to appreciate what they have instead of wishing it looked like something from eight years ago.
