Sam Merrill has developed an instant chemistry with James Harden. I was able to get Merrill to breakdown some clips to figure out what he looks for when playing with his new superstar teammate. “He fits with anybody.” fearthesword.com/cavs-features-…

I talked about how their pick-and-roll partnership is growing in my takeaways from the Cavs' win over the Pelicans. fearthesword.com/cavs-analysis/…

James Harden assisted Evan Mobley twice and twice more on shots that led to free-throw attempts after pick-and-rolls (I'm using the term pick loosely here). The duo's timing has improved drastically compared to how this looked a week and a half ago.

The Cavs shouldn't have allowed it to be a close game late, but it did give us another opportunity to see how well Donovan Mitchell and James Harden pair together in the clutch. I went over that and more in my takeaways from the Cavs' win over NOP. 🔗: fearthesword.com/cavs-analysis/…

As a lefty, I can relate to how much Harden loves finishing with the left hand. He brings the ball over his head to his right hand, but he still finds time to go up with the left.

I appreciate James Harden stealing Donovan Mitchell's over-the-head move here. It wasn't as pretty, but it got the job done.

Evan Mobley was once again dominant in the paint on a night the Cavs as a whole weren’t. I went over that and my in my stats to explain yesterday’s win over the Bulls. 🔗: fearthesword.com/cavs-analysis/…

I talked about the duo chemistry and much more in my 22 stats to explain yesterday’s Cavs and Bulls game. fearthesword.com/cavs-analysis/…

James Harden dished five assists to Evan Mobley in the Cavs' win over the Bulls. Four of those came off screens. Those four plays are below for those of us obsessively tracking this stuff.

This play design was sick. The behind-the-back pass from Harden was more sick.

Chicago should get one of the expansion team. You can’t convince me that the Bulls are an actual NBA team.

The Cavs will be without Donovan Mitchell tonight due to an eye contusion. fearthesword.com/cavs-injury-re…

Tonight on Overtime with Jake Vulinec on @923TheFan: 🏈 Are you actually open to Deshaun winning a QB battle? 🏀Is panic setting in with Donovan Mitchell? 📞 @EdwardsCBS - 8:00 📞 @JacksFlickinger - 9:20 🔊audacy.com/stations/923th…

@kilgoredatrout Thanks! I appreciate that.

@JacksFlickinger Super interesting, Jackson! Great insight to ask Kidd abt this. 🫡

James Harden and Evan Mobley showed their most pick-and-roll chemistry in yesterday's win. Earlier this week, I asked Jason Kidd how long it took for him to adjust to playing with a new center. According to him, the duo isn't behind schedule. 🔗: fearthesword.com/cavs-videos/46…

The playoffs start in a month. In that time, Kenny Atkinson will need to decide who is going to be in the Cavs' postseason rotation. 🔗: fearthesword.com/cavs-news/4671…

My Cavs grades today were perfectly balanced. Three players received A's. Three received a D or worse. fearthesword.com/cavs-analysis/…

James Harden has been with the Cavs for a month and a half. That’s makes it as good of a time as any to grade how he’s fit in with the team so far. fearthesword.com/cavs-analysis/…

@Spencito_ Glad I could help buddy!

@JacksFlickinger Thanks Jackson

Feels like we're cloaer to doomsday than ever before

We know LeBron may be coming back to the Cavs next year, so I took a quick look at how his numbers stack up to previous seasons. Even though he isn’t in his prime anymore, LeBron is playing at a higher level than you probably think. fearthesword.com/post/jYPAKgBxH…
