Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Lima continue the post-Game 4 conversation, with Ken making the case that the lack of fan exuberance after Mitchell's historic performance comes down to one simple thing: this team still doesn't have a clear identity after two major trades and a year of injuries. Ken pivots to the Browns and doubles down on his opposition to drafting Brendan Soresby, arguing that Cleveland is finally building something worth protecting and can't afford to skip steps the way they did with Baker Mayfield and Deshaun Watson. Back on the Cavs, Lima offers the most optimistic take of the morning — he sees a clear trend of the Cavs wearing down Cade Cunningham with high defensive pressure, and believes if the series goes six or seven games, Cunningham may have nothing left in the tank.
