  1. Thank God Altman moved on from JB Bickerstaff shoulda done that bfr last season..Cavs almost lost Donovan Mitchell because of it…he had no idea how to use these guys..they didnt add anyone but a draft pick…

  2. All 4 of the Cavs definitely have an argument for All Star. I think Mobley and Don are locks. DG and Allen definitely deserving though. Special, special team

  3. 32:20 It was a good game but I don't like when we do this. Whatever is the most recent good or memorable game, we forget everything else and say that was the best. I think the Warriors and Lakers as well as the Spurs and Knicks on Christmas day were both better games. If you want to say its the most consistent game quarter by quarter then okay I guess. But that game was done by the time the Cavs went up by half dozen points in the 4th. Then it became clear OKC was at a disadvantage due to missing Chet and Caruso.

  4. Fun fact: Celtics still have the best odds to win the chip at +200. Vegas knows this game is about who is playing for second.

  5. Such a great game! Cavs have 4 all stars! Evan Mobley needs to be higher on the list!

  6. That game was another where the whistle was inconsistent. Thats whats annoying fans lately. We can live with a hard or soft whistle, just make it consistent on both ends

  7. First off, this game is sooo Gooood! 2 elite teams that have a chance to win it all this year! I’m ok with the loss cause even if it’s a high scoring game(strength of Cavs- # 1 in offense) , we came to play toe to toe with them. I love that OKC lose this one cause it’s better to improve than beat all the teams in the calendar. It also solidies the idea of you play within our strengths, then we will most likely to win this game. If it was a low scoring game, then HELL YEAH, Thunder is at 16th in a row right now. But this game, Cleveland won cause they played within their strengths Rebounding, 2 big lineups & shoutout to Atkinson with that zone, it stifled our offense down the stretch. These are things we need to improve on cause these are our weaknesses. Btw, your takes on this Rylan was great since I heard what I wanted to hear. #ThunderUp ⚡️

  8. Cavs basketball has ruined college ball for me (because they’re basically playing another sport and my brain feels pain watching college)

  9. YOU GUYS REMIND ME OF MY LOVE FOR BASKETBALL … AND when we had MEN just talking sports! Wow, I hate, ABSOLUTELY HATE the NBA and wont watch it, but I religiously watch your videos. Great podcasts! Truly. This also shows how much these NBA players, wokeness, DEI, ESPN and the beta commish have ruined the league! I get more entertainment and joy from an NBA talk show (albeit a good one) than the NBA game.

  10. 43:38 In the postgame, Coach Atkinson said that he drew up the inverted pnr to get SGA switched onto Mobley with 5 fouls. If Shai fouls out its game over. Great job by Hartenstein to fight over and stick with Mobley, but Evan did not hesitate to take him right to the rim anyway. The kids' confidence is through the roof right now.

  11. Why does it need to be New York and LA to be interesting lol. Good basketball is good basketball if you’re worried about what cities are playing you’re a weirdo and don’t actually like basketball. I don’t get that dumb narratives. I’m praying it’s okc and Cleveland in the finals. Everyone is tired of seeing the Celtics and all these other teams just chucking up horrible 3s all game

  12. Great program guys. The analysis is top tier. Best I’ve watched anywhere. You’ve earned a sub.
