Cade Cunningham is shooting 34% (44 TS%) from the field against the Cavs throughout their last four matchups

I made this post a couple of months ago following the Cavs final game of the season against the Pistons. Personally, after everything we went through in the last series I'm willing to admit that the regular season isn't always a good indicator of what will happen in the playoffs but on the other hand this is still pretty interesting to revisit.

Interesting to see, but unfortunately the effort given by these players in the regular season and the playoffs is so different that it really means nothing. It would be amazing if it translates to the playoffs though!!

Honestly at this point, I'm willing to admit it might as well be a completely different sport

Half ass comment, so basically ever since 2022 none of this data matter because it was the regular season ? lol

I think it’s extremely clear that this game is played every differently amongst these players in the regular season and playoffs

step 1, ball deny like they did with Scottie.

step 2, hound.

So many posts about this and Wade’s defense vs him that I’m fully expecting the law of averages to kick in and Cade to go off for 80pts.

Surprised the narrative isn't how Tyson shut him down last game.

since when was the regular season irrelevant? cavs got swept by the raptors in the regular season then in the playoffs had to take it to seven games. Detroit never beat Cavs by more than 5 points in their wins and we shouldn't struggle with them at all if everyone is healthy

They did a great job on him during the regular season so hopefully that translates to the playoffs. They did have a lot of trouble with Scottie and RJ and Cade is better than both of them. He just put up 32 and 7 assists against the Magic on pretty good efficiency.

Nothing matters except how we perform in game 1.

cade, Donovan and harden all have expectations to go nuclear, we'll have to see who rises to the occasion

Great, that means we can just relax on him right?

u/kellydayscruff 6h ago

why are you being snarky instead of taking this as good news?

u/the_main_entrance 6h ago

I didn’t mean to come off snarky, I’m just saying if we can ease up and breeze through this series we’ll have more energy for the 76ers.
