00:00:00And it's a big time showdown at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, the Cavaliers and the New York Knicks.
00:00:07A rematch in the playoffs just a couple years ago, two of the hottest teams in the NBA.
00:00:12When we look at the Eastern Conference standings, that tells you the entire story.
00:00:16Number three and number four in the East, just one game behind Boston for New York, two for Cleveland,
00:00:22all chasing that top spot held by the Detroit Pistons essentially all year.
00:00:26What a way to start Coast to Coast Tuesday, presented by IKEA.
00:00:29We welcome you courtside, Noah Eagle, the Hall of Famer, Reggie Miller, and Zora Stevenson.
00:00:34Cleveland had so much potential last year in what they did in the regular season, fizzled out in the playoffs
00:00:39again.
00:00:39This year there was so much expectation they weren't living up.
00:00:42So what do they do at the deadline?
00:00:43They make some real noise, and they bring in James Harden.
00:00:46It feels like that really made their ceiling even greater than what it was already coming into the year.
00:00:51You mentioned that wire to wire a year ago, 64 wins, but again, stumbled in the playoffs.
00:00:56So now what do they do?
00:00:58They go out and get a top ten score of all time in James Harden, number nine.
00:01:03And everywhere he's gone, he's made the big man even better.
00:01:07Joel Embiid, Clint Capella, Zubach.
00:01:10Now he gets to play with two of them.
00:01:12Evan Mobley, Jared Allen.
00:01:14Got high screen and roll.
00:01:16He can lob it.
00:01:17They said good enough screens.
00:01:18He can step back and make threes.
00:01:20This is a scary proposition in the East.
00:01:23If I'm Detroit, New York, Boston, to add James Harden, a guy that's so great with the basketball,
00:01:30especially in transition, it's going to be fun to see.
00:01:33Well, Reggie mentioned the big man that he gets to play with.
00:01:35One of them is Jared Allen, who already feels like he's enjoying the success.
00:01:38He's standing by with Zora.
00:01:40Jared, averaging over 20 points per game in the month of February.
00:01:43I know James Harden provides a lot, but what else is working for you and this team right now?
00:01:47Just being more aggressive.
00:01:48The ball is moving.
00:01:49I'm just trying to find my spots in this offense.
00:01:52Donovan, James, everybody's hitting me on the pick and roll.
00:01:54We talked Knicks this morning at Shooter, and I said, okay, what's the key today?
00:01:58You said one word, rebounding.
00:01:59How do you ensure that remains a focus for a full 48?
00:02:02All right, it starts with physicality.
00:02:03Win your spot, pitch first, try to get them off the glass before they even get there.
00:02:07Appreciate it.
00:02:07Thank you.
00:02:09All right, Zora, thanks so much.
00:02:10Jared Allen's certainly going to be a major factor today, but the same could be said about the guy
00:02:14who's still the nucleus in Cleveland.
00:02:15That's Donovan Mitchell, the nucleus on the other side, of course.
00:02:18Jalen Brunson, MVP type of players for each of these teams, and that's our player spotlight
00:02:23brought to you by United Airlines.
00:02:25Yeah, I'm wondering why Donovan Mitchell, his name is not mentioned more in the MVP discussion.
00:02:30Having a career year in terms of his efficiency, 189 made threes.
00:02:36That's only second behind Con Knipple.
00:02:39And how about Jalen Brunson, the head of the snake for the New York Knicks, Mr. Clutch player
00:02:45himself.
00:02:46And whenever there's a play to be made, whenever there's a big moment, Jalen Brunson has always
00:02:53risen to the occasion.
00:02:54And to me, what he has done on both ends of the floor for the Knicks has been absolutely
00:02:59tremendous, Noah.
00:03:00Just look at the numbers between these two.
00:03:03Eerily similar, 28.6 points per game for Donovan, 26.8 for Jalen Brunson.
00:03:08The field goal percentages, including the identical three-point percentages and the assist numbers,
00:03:13both were named All-Stars once again this year.
00:03:15And it feels like they have been leading the way.
00:03:17But more than anything, both of these coaches would tell you the defense is going to have
00:03:21to come first for each of these teams to be successful.
00:03:23And you and I kind of talked off-camera the X-Factors for both teams defensively.
00:03:27I think for Cleveland, Dennis the Minutes Schroeder coming in, just causing a whole bunch of
00:03:33chaos.
00:03:34And think about this, Jose Alvarado, Grand Theft Auto for the Knicks, one of those sneaky
00:03:39guards that likes to come up with steals.
00:03:41Already two games since he's come over from the Pelicans with five steals or more for Alvarado.
00:03:47So you've got the X-Factors defensively for both teams.
00:03:50We'll see who can come out on top in a crucial game in the Eastern Conference standings.
00:03:54It's the number three and number four team in the East going toe-to-toe.
00:03:58The Knicks and the Cavaliers from Rocket Arena coming up next to kick off Coast to Coast Tuesday,
