What Kenny Atkinson should say after the Cavs' Game 1 collapse; a Guardians statistic that will surprise you

from Terry’s Talkin’ · host Terry Pluto, Cleveland.com

Highlights: The aftermath of the Cavs blowing a 22-point lead to lose Game 1 to the New York Knicks 115-104 in overtime after a staggering 44-11 run. Is the national media treating the Cavs like the Indians got treated in the 2016 World Series? What's the best way for the Cavs to defend Jalen Brunson? What Terry would like to see. New York capitalized on an exhausted James Harden late in the game by explicitly targeting him in pick-and-roll switches Knicks coach Mike Brown says he has counted James Harden's dribbles to give his team a psychological edge. What Terry would say if he were Kenny Atkinson. Cleveland's demise was fueled by 19 turnovers and a stagnant isolation offense that produced only three points in overtime Donovan Mitchell played brilliantly for three and a half quarters before completely disengaging offensively in the final stretch The Guardians surged to lead the majors in May runs scored due to the rapid, simultaneous development of young prospects Top draft pick Travis Bazzana has excelled since his Triple-A call-up, showcasing elite on-base skills, speed, and physical readiness Young Guardians hitters including Rocchio, Martinez, and Manzardo have shown significant maturity and improved plate discipline Relocating Steven Kwan lower in the batting order successfully relieved the psychological pressure of leading off and helped break his slump The ABS system: Is it making baseball less fun? And an umpire writes in with thoughts about why an ABS overturn doesn't mean an ump missed a call. The Browns must decisively name their starting quarterback early in the preseason to ensure maximum first-team repetitions in Todd Monken's newly overhauled offense.
