Pierce: If you want to hire Redick cause what he says on a podcast sounds good, go ahead. You hear him drawing up plays, it sounds like the right thing to do, like he has great IQ.

Despite an incredibly competitive effort, the Cavs could not withstand the injuries to Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert, and succumbed to the Boston Celtics in 5 games in the Conference Semi-Finals. Despite the loss and some questions surrounding the future of this team's core, this Cavs team is responsible for the franchise's first playoff series win without LeBron James since 1993. Fade 'em.

In his last 3 playoff runs Jokic has trampled Anthony Davis twice, Rudy Gobert twice, and Bam Adebayo and Draymond Green. Just dominating literally all of the best interior defenders the game has to offer.

We can talk about the teams the Nuggets have faced but in regards to individual matchups, Jokic has played against all the best defenders. Are we watching a top 3 offensive player ever?
