Norris Cole Says the Cavaliers Pose the Greatest Danger to the Celtics

Both fans and commentators believed the Cleveland Cavaliers would be the team to prevent the Boston Celtics from winning consecutive games when they began the season with 15 games unbeaten. They then fell to the same Celtics in their sixteenth game, which led to more conversations, this time about how no team in the NBA is prepared to stop the Lucky Greens.

According to post-Christmas forecasts, the Cavaliers are four games ahead of the Celtics, and two-time NBA champion Norris Cole has boldly stated that they represent a serious threat to Joe Mazzulla’s team.

Norris Cole talks about Donovan Mitchell’s impact and how it can stop Celtics

The former Heat point guard claims that their All-Star guard, Donovan Mitchell, is their biggest X-Factor in addition to having two extremely dominant big men in Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. He also cited the Cavaliers’ abundance of scoring alternatives off the bench as evidence that they are a very well-rounded club.

Then, he concluded by asserting that the Cavaliers’ youthfulness will be their greatest source of inspiration and that their zeal and drive to succeed is what sets them apart from rival teams. He also said: “Right now, I will say Cleveland Cavaliers are the bigger threat. They have length to protect the basket in Mobley and Allen. They have perimeter three-point shooting. Well, they have a superstar Donovan Mitchell to go up against Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, but their bench. They have a lot of scoring to come off the bench to go along with their defense.”

Although the Cavaliers have a lot of talented players, experience is the best thing there is. This was demonstrated by the Celtics’ repeated attempts to enter the promised land, and their early setbacks gave them the ideal example of what not to do.

This season, the Cavaliers have a 1-1 record versus the Celtics. Yes, their crew is operating like a well-maintained machine. It’s difficult to rule out the Celtics from contention, though, as they are among the league’s most deadly teams on both ends.
