The Cleveland Cavaliers win streak is over, DG is an All-Star & Deshaun Watson’s financial future



The Cleveland Cavaliers win streak is over, DG is an All-Star & Deshaun Watson’s financial future

The Cleveland Cavaliers lost a game. That hasn’t happened often this season.

Give the Indiana Pacers credit — they outplayed the Cavs and deserved to come out on top Sunday night. But is this just a one-game slip-up or did the Pacers expose anything about this team that other teams could use to haunt them?

Darius Garland should be an All-Star this season. End of story. But can the Cavs get four all-stars? Jarrett Allen may have a case too.

The Cleveland Browns may be able to recoup some of the money they owe Deshaun Watson if they can prove he re-tore his Achilles doing something he wasn’t supposed to do.

Are the Browns just a QB away from contending?

Will Joe Thomas be a good NFL head coach?

Plus, the Guardians have money to spend, but will they spend it?

  1. Regarding the QB away from contending… reference to commanders: NFC.. NFC.. NFC.. Jared Goff is best QB on that side. No elite comp.. commanders added Chinn, luvu, Wagner , Lattimore nailed sanristil… the Browns are not a QB away, we have to re-standardize many positions. Safety, defensive tackle, linebacker (we need to build as if JOK is done) Offensive line, need a new TE, quarterback… we need guys! ! We need a draft like (Mayfield, njoku, ward

    We have to hit 2-4 guys that are solid starters

  2. FACT Baker mayfield led the league in Fumbles AND interceptions
    Baker Fumbled yesterday, & it went downhill from there; And a Mike-evans-less rookie QB beat tampa bay.
    You cant make this up😂🤣

  3. When rebuilding, obviously it starts with a franchise QB, but the cornerstone of that rebuild has to be PROTECTING THAT FRANCHISE QB!!! The Bears let Caleb get sacked 68 times!!!!

  4. I get what Bull is saying about TJ Watt, though. Yes, he's a great player and yes he's a Hall of Famer but I'd say he's overrated in terms of where he stands in the "Best Steelers Ever" conversation. Everyone always talks about his intangibles, his motor, his leadership, etc. Well, all that stuff has gotten him a big fat goose egg for playoff wins. And he's gone to a lot more than Myles has. If we're going to keep referring to Watt as a "gamewrecker", the guy needs to do it on the biggest stage when the lights are brightest. I also don't think TJ Watt is a player who you can just plug into any team and he'd have the same success. He was drafted into a great organization with a franchise QB and a great HC. Not to mention, he's getting up there in age. The guy is going to be 31 and seemingly always fighting some kind of nagging injury. I'm not saying Watt's going to fall off a cliff but I'd start questioning his longevity if these injuries keep piling up.

    On the topic of the Watson contract, I wish Jay didn't approach it purely from a fan perspective. You can't cut a player with a massive cap hit just because you're sick of hearing about him. It doesn't make much sense from a BUSINESS standpoint. Jay's already said he'd be a terrible GM because he's overly emotional and this just supports that. I also found it hilarious that Jay said we should trade Myles because we're more than one player away. So you'd trade your best player to create a huge hole in your roster despite the fact that you already have a ton of draft capital to fill roster holes already?
