00:00 – Cavs "Good Loss" vs. Bucks
Danny Cunningham opens the episode discussing why the narrow loss to Milwaukee is about as close as it gets to a "good loss" for a championship-caliber team. Covers context on missing players and why the team's effort was impressive despite defeat.
10:36 – Standout Performers & Player Analysis
In-depth recap of individual performances (Schroder, Jarrett Allen, Keon Ellis), breaking down who impressed, who struggled (Jaylon Tyson), and overall impact on team depth and rotation.
25:04 – Injury Updates & Implications
Injury discussion focusing on James Harden's thumb fracture, Dennis Schroder and Dean Wade's potential injuries, and how injuries impact the Cavs as they approach critical games.
A lot of missed calls again by the refs
Kenny makes some boneheaded decisions.
I agree with the opening statement, which is why the cavs are not a championship team.
Especially if it's a healthy thunder team waiting for them in the finals.
Although I also agree the schedule has been brutal.
Tired of complaining about Dean Wade…
Cleveland lost in spite of having a great deal more free throws and offensive rebounds than Milwaukee. This was NOT a good loss.
Milwaukee is a better team than their record shows, they are just now starting to figure it out. Bucks were without the second best player in the world Giannis Antetokounmpo who the team is built around, And their other starter T Prince. And you had 25 free throws to 5.
Investigate the timekeeper in Milwaukee
2 best players unavailable. Allen is obviously the third.
If this guy reflects cavs fans then it no wonder your franchise is poverty😂 bucks on a back to back without the mvp should be a win
