Bickerstaff's Coaching Impact 26:47 - Managing James Harden's Usage

Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor joins the show to break down how the Cavs kept their season alive in Game 3, and his answer is more nuanced than just "Harden showed up." Fedor explains that Kenny Atkinson quietly overhauled the offense, dropping Harden's usage rate from 28 to 19, which kept him fresh enough to be effective in the clutch moments that actually mattered. The bigger question going into Game 4 is whether Atkinson learned his lesson about rotations — Fedor is blunt that the coaching decisions in Games 1 and 2 cost the Cavs dearly, and that kind of flexibility can't take two losses to figure out. There's also a fascinating wrinkle emerging: Donovan Mitchell may actually be getting stronger as the series goes on, which nobody saw coming heading into this series.
