Podcast Recap: Cavs 95, 76ers 85 (Or, Throwdowns in a Throwback)
2016-01-11https://soundcloud.com/ctb-5/cavs-theblog-podcast
We did a podcast recap! Listen above, on SoundCloud, or iTunes. Below are collections of my thoughts in case you’d prefer the usual recap.
This game was a friendly reminder of how effortlessly LeBron James can completely dominate a game. It was a throwback to 2009, when LeBron’s transition baskets were unstoppable and plentiful, his only misses were heat checks, and the Cavs decided at some point in the second half that they’d had enough. Tonight, that occurred when LeBron checked in at the 7:32 mark of the 4th quarter and promptly disposed of the Sixers by scoring 12 of the Cavs 14 points in a 14-0 run.
1st Half: The Cavs settled for a TON of 3s in the first half. I wish they hadn’t, because they had some sweet offensive sets otherwise. LeBron used some english to spin a bounce pass to a backdooring J.R. Smith for a nifty reverse layup. Delly ran something of a Kraken, feeding a vacated-space-filling LeBron for a monster dunk. And Kevin Love found LeBron for a very simple cut to the basket off a TT offensive rebound for and and-1 jam. Tristan Thompson did an admirable job fighting around the basket in the second quarter, bailing out some blown layups and other miscues. The Cavs led by eight with a minute and a half to go in the 2nd quarter and really let the 76ers off the hook. In particular, the decision of Mozgov to fire a corner 3 with eight second on the game clock/seven seconds on the shot clock was notably stupid. His airball led to a runout and Okafor conversion (over Moz) at the other end to bring the 76ers within one at the half.
2nd Half: LeBron had his hands in everything. Kevin Love scored on nifty move around the basket, squeaking the ball in before the weakside defender could swat, and he had a few glorious outlet passes to LeBron who throw down a sick reverse jam on one of them. The way LeBron created separation in the open court was reminiscent of ’09 Bron. No one had a chance to stop him. It’s not like it’s hard to throw a pass to LeBron, but Kevin Love is really somethin’ with these three-quarter-court chest passes that land in LeBron lap as he’s going full speed. The Cavs let the 76ers hang around a bit until LeBron checked back in at 7:32 mark of the 4th and that was that. Jumpers, a triple, another throwdown off a K-Love outlet pass, an insane, Kyrie-spun reverse layup through traffic off yet another K-Love outlet….LeBron was 15-20 from the field before clanking two “who cares” heat checks after the game was firmly out of reach, and the Cavs coasted to a double digit win. They won’t get to feast on the hapless 76ers any longer but they should be commended – it’s hard to beat any team four times. They took care of business.
The Good: LeBron dominated and overcame poor shooting from the rest of the team to notch a double digit road win. It’s not a recipe for long-term success, but the Cavs are good enough to win in a variety of ways.
The Bad-ish: J.R. Smith was a little too trigger happy tonight. When the Cavs allowed the 76ers to get back into the game it seemed like they rushed the offense and fired a lot of 3s instead of probing for a better look.
The Bad: That sequence by Mozgov was bad. Jason Lloyd wrote a lot about the Mozgov struggling/Varejao DNP dynamic in his “X Number of Things” bit. (Those are must-read for me.) That Blatt doesn’t feel comfortable playing all his guys, during a long road trip, against the worst team in the league, is….bad I think? I’ve been an advocate for Varejao all season. Not sure why he’s in the DNPhouse, but he’s there and I think it’s short-sighted.
Enjoy the podcast for more player-centric analysis, we cover:
Jeff Van Gundy-isms
Kyrie’s growth
Mozgov’s value
Shumpert’s Jumperts
J.R.’s actual value on defense
LeBron’s defensive ceiling
The value of “chill-mode”
The Sam Hinkie Experiment
Memories of Dennys
J.R. needs to have a complete green light on catch and shoot threes. If that means 10 a game, then fine. As long as he doesn’t get too crazy with the off the dribble stuff, he is still helping the offensive spacing. The only ones that bother me truly are the weird catch, one dribble leaners. Those aren’t great. The ones where he gets his balance from a practiced dribble move, he isn’t bad. Shooters gotta shoot. In the same way that Cavs fans remember J.R. when he is on fire, the opposing defenses remember that too. That provides so… Read more »
Totally agreed. And Blatt is the coach so if he has a sense JR is struggling he only has a ton of other players to choose from.
His triple doubles are rondo triple doubles. Mostly free throws and passing to hall of fame shooters. Except that he isn’t as good a passer as rondo. It’s not that his season isn’t impressive. He is destroying what everyone thought his potential was. The Warriors have found a niche for his unique-ish skill set. But good lord he is not a poor mans Lebron James. He is a tall guy with vision who happens to be on a team with two shooters with crazy hall of fame level gravity. He happens to be an available big on a team that… Read more »
I get it we can’t stand him. I’m with you BUT if no one can find a way to shut him down, stop his passing; they will be NBA Champions again. He is so KEY to the Warriors, next to Curry. The Heat (w/o Whiteside) did manage like we have to disrupt their 3 point shooting. The game was won by Curry & Draymond Green. Forget Clay THompson. Green is more valuable to that team than he is. I am so curious what the Spurs can do.
Nah. Cavs will beat them.
Watching heat vs warriors…heat announcers comparing draymond green to Lebron “some say he’s a poor man’s Lebron James…and I’m not even sure how poor!”
Haha. I barfed in my mouth. There are no worse announcers than the heat guys.
Nobody dislikes Green’s schtick on the floor more than me. Nobody. But he’s having a ridiculous season…not really Lebron, he does those types of things, but he’s really more of a supporting player, and Curry makes things much easier for supporting players.
But the point is he is a really poor mans Lebron. If you swapped Lebron and Green during last years finals the average margin of Victory would have been 60 with Curry and Lebron sitting on the bench for the 4th quarter.
That’s not true… I bet I dislike him more… ;)
There’s plenty of Draymond antipathy to go around guys – let’s not fight over an inexhaustible supply.
Oh I expected that comparison this year because of his triple doubles.
Me too, but its totally absurd.
Interesting matchup tonight with the Heat playing OKC. Draymond vs Whiteside will be interesting. I think Whiteside wins that. Heat don’t have enough shooting to win imo but could be a fun game
When did Draymond get traded to OKC?
Heat playing GS tonight. My bad
Looks like Whiteside is out anyway
I don’t think I can view this game, but the Heat are competing at Oracle. Going to the 4th down 3.
Tom, there has never been an issue we have been more at odds over than announcers. JVG is the worst. Doris Burke is terrible. But if its JVG I will literally mute the TV because he annoys me so much, especially if he’s with Marc Jackson. JR Smith is the most over-rated player on the team. Good player glad we have him but he’s 7th best/most important. JR is terrible closing out. Terrible at forcing his guy to his weak hand. He doesn’t use angles well. 100% on Toms page. Tries hard but not that great. Cavs players in Import… Read more »
?Rodney those are some scorching hot takes. I love em. Great call on Irving struggling in catch and shoot. He needs to work on it. He won a 3 point contest so he’s gotta be able to just square and fire without the hippity hippity.
Kinda just typed my thoughts as I listened. Didn’t realize how strong the takes were with so supporting arguement. I feel a little like Jeff Van Gundy now
So little supporting*^
I think JVG is very entertaining. He’ll say some off the wall stuff sometimes, but in a fun way, not in a douchey Skip Bayless way. I don’t think it’s much of a hot take to say that JR might be 7th most important. After big 3, the next four are neck and neck IMO and anyone of em could slot 4-7. I’m not sure who is overrating him? Agree 100% on the lineups. Throw any KI numbers so far, and for the next month or so, out the window. Number 1 he’s coming off a major injury, and number… Read more »
Just looked up KI’s catch and shoot 3’s and he’s 2-14 this year. That is just way to small of a sample size. Hell Tristan over the last 4 games has hit 18-22 FT’s, but I’m pretty sure that’s not gonna continue. But when we look at last year, KI led the Cavs in C&S 3’s at 46%. That’s pretty high, but I bet he’ll finish over 40%. Incidentally, Lebron shot 40% on C&S 3’s last year!!!! On 95 attempts too. Ah hell, prolly a once in a career anomaly right? Let’s check the prior year, his last in Miami.… Read more »
Lebron was a great shooter in Miami. Hence our frustration. Since coming to Cleveland hes plummeted. I dont think I’ve ever heard someone complain about his catch and shoot 3.
Thats really encouraging about KI though. He struggled earlier in his career on catch and shoot
No, I was just commenting that Lebron was great at catch and shoot 3’s the last 2 years. When his feet are set his shot has a lot better chance of going in.
He’s worse than Skip Bayless in my mind. I’d prefer to hear Skip and Steven A talk nonsense for 3 hours. He literally cause me pain. See I think there is a gargantuan gap between TT and JR. TT is close to Irving than JR to TT in my opinion. Then Shump and Delly have a clear lead on JR. Its hard to remember pre inferno JR but that guy is the usual JR. The one that shoes up for 70 games out 82. I would agree that 7 games us a worthless sample size if it weren’t in agreement… Read more »
But it is NOT in line with KI’s career numbers. He shot 46% last year on catch and shoot 3’s. That’s an amazing percentage for a 3 point shot.
The year before he was a 31% shooter on catch and shoot but 44 in pull up. I can’t find his first 2 years numbers but I remember them being even worse. So last year he corrected it which I did not know and is awesome. I’m sure part of that was better looks too. but his first few years he was not good in catch and shoot shoot situatons
I’ll grant you JR might be number 7, I just don’t think he’s too far behind the 3 players ahead of him.
Definitely scorching hot takes. I certainly don’t agree that the Cavs ‘almost beat’ the Warriors in a 7 game series. Hard to make that argument when it only went 6 games, and the Warriors won the last couple fairly easily. Yeah, the Cavs were injured, but that’s not the argument you are making here.
Overstated for sure. I wasn’t really focusing on that but they were a lebron jumper from being 3-0
Danny Ferry had LeBron in his prime, cap space,and an owner willing to spend and still
Never put together a good team around LeBron. Ugh. Then he went to Aglanta and put together a team whose best player was who? Horrors?’bnb
He’s a terrible GM. And considering how horribly he played for the Cavs he probably has done more
Damage to he Cavs than any one single person.
I thought Grant was worse. He drafted Bennett and Waiters, which I thought were questionable picks and turned out to be busts. At least Ferry didn’t blow top 5 picks!
Funny thing is as terrible as Bennett is the truth is not a single lottery pick from that year is even an NBA starter.
@Cols we’ve been threw this. He had cap space exactle 1 season and when Michael Redd decided he didn;t like Lebron it became hopeless.
The cavs got better each year despite being hamstrung by Paxton.
Well, Oladipo has started a majority of his time in Orlando.
Most of that was based on hope and potential. Right now he’s behind Payton and Fournier. Clearly better than Bennett but i think the Cavs thought process is we know what Victor is and thats a 6th man type. Bennett has potential to be more and I kind of agree. Just Mentally the kid is a disaster. It was a gamble we can take the sure thing or the boom or bust. Sadly he busted.
I wanted Len that draft.
Yeah, they weren’t going to draft Oladipo, even though they whiffed on Waiters the year before. I disagree with you on that none of the lottery picks are NBA starters. Oladipo would be a starter on most teams. CJ McCollum, Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, MCW, Steven Adams, and Otto Porter are all starters. Not to mention the non-lottery picks that have all-star potential in Gobert and the Greek Freak. As bad as the 2013 draft was, Beenett probably should have been a 2nd round pick.
Mclemore plays 20 minutes a game and isn’t very good in those 20 minute. Right now he’s a 3 and nothing else player. Not many teams have worse backcourt players than Orlando. I guess he could start on Philly, Knicks, OKC maybe, Kings maybe. I don’t think Olidpo starts on a lot of teams if he can’t start in Orlando. I don’t think he is clearly better than Waiters. Waiters last I checked (a while ago granted) was actually contributing to some of OKC’s best units CJ McCollum and Porter are looking like NBA players this year but Porter was… Read more »
Waiters hurts though. Drummond and barnes are both better but IDK if Barnes would have succeeded here. Can’t hate too hard on missing Liliard since we have Irving
Grant got played when Waiters shut down workouts. Nothing like drafting a sixth man, who can’t shoot or play defense.
Easy to say that now. There was a time under Mike Brown, Waiters was actually in 2nd place to Jimmy Butler’s stats for 6th man. He was getting +16ppg in a 4-5 month span,. He was of value last year when the Cavs traded him at the right time. OKC wouldn’t have agreed if he was pure garbage back then. Even this year, he started strong for them but has fallen off to dismal. So inconsistent . He has never made the kind of stats he did as a Cav for them. An unaccountable Dion is the worse kind.
I was a huge waiters believer, even now hold out hope for the kid. But Drummond was the pick. I know he had issues but thats a big miss.
Other than that really the only other miss is taking TT over Klay, Leonard which isnt that bad
I’ve said it many times. Grants whole draft philosophy was insane. He eschewed workouts and personal visits and drafted purely on gut. He was a shrewd dealer when it came to trades but in the draft he seemed maniacally impulsive. He says so in his interview after the Dion draft. He never had Dion in the building and admits he didn’t know much about Zeller. Good riddance.
W/R to Waiters… there were much more common sense picks. Like Harrison Barnes. Waiters is a headcase and I don’t see him playing in the NBA in 5 years.
Not to mention Damian Lillard, who went 6th. Another huge whiff by Chris Grant. Grant was a guy who thought he was the smartest guy in the room. Liike many of the arrogant and incompetent Browns GM’s. I hated that guy.
No one would have drafted Dame when you have Irving. That would have been the typical smartest man in the room move. Draft 2 point guards.
Also Barnes in Cleveland would not be the player he is now
It doesn’t matter. You take the best player and you could always trade Lilllard. I think you could also have both Lillard and Kyrie in the same line up, playing small ball.
Why wouldn’t Harrison Barnes succeed here?
Cols how can you hate on what he did in Atlanta. That was incredible. He turned a team saddled with the 2 worst contracts in basketball into a contender. A poor mans contender but the second best team in the east. Who knows how uch better they could have been this year if they didn’t fire him. He was GM for almost a decade. And not once did any of his rosters ever get worse while he was GM
If you are a GM and are gifted James and cap space and you fail to do anything with it you are a failure.
What would you have done with that cap space differently than Ferry? Which 3 superstars would Cols714 the GM have taken in and turned the Cavs into a dynasty.
You cannot excuse failure just because you are unable to see a different path. GMs get paid lots of money to put together championship teams. Ferry was given the most advantageous position in the history of the NBA and completely blew it.
Griffin on the other hand was given a similarly admirable position and in year one got to the Finals. Ferry sucks. His Atlanta teams were built on smoke and mirrors that promptly fell apart.
Griffin was gifted, Irving, Wiggins and Lebron. Grant was the one who started the Lebron Courtship by organizing the Z retirement on a day he knew LeBron could make it. He was the one that had a personal relationship Z and brought him into the organization (that he has since quit). Griffin has done a great job since but starting with Lebron, Irving Wiggins and other valuable trade chips is not the same as starting with Lebron no draft picks and one season of cap space.
You’re still bound by the collective bargaining agreement. Ferry put the Cavs in position to win a championship. They didn’t get it done.
Tom there has never been more at odds than over announcers. JVG is the flat out worst and Doris Burke is not far behind
::Gasp:: take it back. I love Doris.
Yeah, I love Doris, too. She seems completely at home doing play by play. Wish she did it more, rather than being stuck in a studio with morons like Jalen Rose.
I kind of do. I don’t like her but putting her with JVG is wrong. JVG has some interesting takes but he’s wrong as a color guy. Maybe I could enjoy him at half time or post game but he spends so little time on the game itself except for the few guys he loves. (Somehow he brings Draymond Green into every broadcast)
I am fond of JVG. Anyone one but Mark Jackson.
Mos needs more time to get well physically. Looking at this quote from him after yesterday’s game, it seems pretty clear that his knee is still bothering him even though he’s trying to pretend it isn’t:
“I’m going in the right direction,” Mozgov said. “I feel perfect. Like best I think since surgery. My knee gets better and I think I’m going in the right direction.”
I knew that players and management read CtB. In today’s MSN.com – http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/lebron-saw-stories-calling-him-worst-shooter-in-nba/ar-CCoYts?li=BBnba9I “It’s really rare to see the words “LeBron James” and “worst” in the same article, let alone in the same headline. But last month, we — along with many other sports blogs out there — referred to LeBron as “the worst shooter in the NBA” after coming across this infographic that showed that LeBron was, well, “the worst shooter in the NBA”: (STAT TABLE WITH PLAYERS AND SHOOTING %’s here_ 0 Turns out, LeBron saw the stories that people wrote. Or at least, he saw one of… Read more »
Dario Saric –> Sixers bound, Cedi Osman, future Cavs kid, had 15 & 16 in W vs Darussafaka.
I hope they are able to keep Osman. A year ago, I thought he’d be gone eventually in some trade throw-in, and that still could happen, but I think he could be really good down the line.
Good pod guys! Nice to finally hear Cory on one! (I don’t remember hearing him on previous ones).
Didn’t get a chance to watch the game until the early hours this morning, and mostly just fast-forwarding through the highlights. LBJ really does look spry and springy though. You can always tell if he’s amped up when he does that skippy-dribble thing…
Excited to see how the next week unfolds against some WC competition… I’d be okay with them even resting guys against the Rockets on the back to back… just want to see them beat the Spurs and Warriors…
Toughest week of the season right here in the next seven days. Hunker down fellas.
JR Smith is really good. Quit trying to find reasons not to like him.
Delly is really good. Quit trying to find reasons not to like him.
JR>>>Delly on both ends of the court.
Lebron>>>JR on both ends of the court.
By this logic does this mean JR is not ‘really good’?
Sorry, JR is not better than Delly defensively. JR makes way too many mistakes on defense.
I don’t think he’s better on either end. Takes bad shots, doesn’t create only starting to get good positioning. If the JR of the last week is the real JR then I’m wrong. But If the real JR is the guy we had for the 52 weeks before that then I take Delly on both ends
Does anyone else feels like K-Love was not over-matched physically so often when he in Minnesota? He seemed stronger, both upper and lower body when he was in Minnesota.
I know he’s a lot slimmer, but he seems weaker as well. Obviously still incredibly skilled though, just seems like it takes more concerted effort to score in the post.
He weighed more so most likely that is true. Kevin Love is slimmer for reasons of his back & stronger endurance. He is in the Eastern Conference now against younger & more athletic opponents. He is concentrating on a strength training program that develops endurance muscles & that means being a little slimmer to get the optimum performance he is going after. My son was both a football player and runner that did get to compete at the State level. You train completely different between the 2 sports. Football he was more bulkier, developed muscles for pure explosion and strength… Read more »
I’m a weirdo. I like podcast after losses as well to commiserate. LoL
I think pods after losses are more negative but clearly there is much more to talk about. I say congrats on talking up a bunch of points after a win. Most likely because everyone outside of Lebron and Love was mediocre.
You only dump Moz if there is something better out there. Right now there isn’t. He will be useful in that one series or game and we’ll all be happy he wasn’t dumped. Interesting that ESPN tabs this as “make-or-break” for Mozgov.
Yeah I know. Smh It’s not that dire Cavs are still winning games. The day before Lloyd & Amico said to rid him would be foolish.
Thanks for the podcast — but the old-fashioned typewriter or whatever the hell that was in the background was super distracting. I don’t agree that Blatt should be playing more players — I think that will come later when the “system” is more developed, but right now they need the principal guys out there to figure out what the system is. Last year was all about a defensive system — learning to communicate and give the effort. That’s there now, so they’re starting to concentrate on offense. Sure, its hard to know where Kyrie is going to go on the… Read more »
The background noise was way too much. We gotta clean it up. Sorry about that. We will improve our production quality.
Use Blue Yeti Microphones! (if you are not already). They are under a 100 bones on Amazon and do an incredible job with background noise and echo.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check em out.
Fantastic podcast! A lot of interesting topics! Lebron was phenomenal in this game and a complete joy to watch. Tom’s remark on twitter was more than fine. You are dealing with a twitter group of (that I will say is nameless) that can get vitriol in their comments. HOWEVER, outside of that group, it is not like that. Mosgov was good last year in the playoffs along side TT against Atlanta in particular. Demare Carroll had commented how difficult he was to them. I think the question on Mosgov needs to be looked on from outside the box. It should… Read more »
The common denominator in that list of teams that tend to kill us with TT in the game is teams with athletic guards who can get to the rim. Even if he’s not necessarily blocking shots, I think just seeing this massive dude in the middle helps push some of those drives outside or causes pull ups from the elbow instead of slashes all the way to the rim. I’m not sure what analytics you could look at to support that, but it seems like this happens some times just based on the eye test. That being said there’s also… Read more »
All good points. I agree. In reality, Mosgov really did not do that bad in 7 mins of his 8 mins he played. At times he was mostly good. It was brain farts at the 1:34 min of game left in 2nd quarter. Mosgov has this uncanny ability to be disastrous to his team in such a short short period of time. We are only talking 1 minute.! When Mosgov came in. The team was up like 8pts. In that time he got called too many seconds in paint violation, he fouled Okafor (good at FT), allowed Okafor to score… Read more »
You are going to think I’m crazy but Mosgov does play better with Kyrie on the floor. IDk what it is. He has a better focus.
I’m about to listen to this, but all I’m hoping for is some discussion on bringing back the “Raise the Roof” move from the early 90’s. I can’t help myself but crack up every time I see it because even one of the coolest people on the planet in LeBron James still doesn’t look cool doing it.
Blatt understands the importance of winning against the teams you’re supposed to. especially with the Texas triangle coming up, you don’t wanna risk losing to 76ers at all. ideally you go deeper in your bench in this trip but winning the game is paramount. Mosgov needs to get his head back right. I think Mo needs some playing time. and AV can’t be worse than Timo is right now? right?
AV has been terrible when he plays.
In what way exactly have I been terrible? Please don’t hesitate and be specific too.
Rebounding, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defense.
I thought I said be specific. By your comments my buddy Lebron also was terrible in that Miami game. And my teammate Mo has been really terrible for the last few weeks. Our point guard was really terrible the first 3 months of the season.
Thanks for posting on CtB, Andy.
You should have asked which game? He hasn’t played much to give an analysis.
Mallory, you came to my show on Friday and didn’t say hi? Haha
EPIC FAIL. I can’t believe I forgot to email you!!!!!!!!
We’ll grab a beer soon, I swear.
THANKS COLS YOU ARE MY ” MORNING CUP OF COFFE ” GET ME GOING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER —-HAS LEBRON LOBBIED FOR MORE PLAYING TIME FOR ANDY / ARE THEY JUST WAITING TO REALLY GET ANDY HEALTHY / IS HE PART OF TRADE TALKS AND THEY DON’T WANT HIM INJURED / IS BLATT SEEING SOMETHING IN PRACTICE WHERE HE DOESN’T TRUST ANDY/ SEES HIM AS A LIABALITY / REMEMBER LAST AUGUST WE WERE EXSTATIC WITH OUR BIGS —NOW MOZ IS ” ZOMBIE LAND “/ ANDY AND WHAT’S HIS NAME OH YEAH SASHA NEVER SEE THE FLOOR WHICH BRINGS US TO… Read more »
Also, there shouldn’t be any worry about the Cavs coasting against bad teams. We already know they have an extra gear they can go to in the playoffs and you don’t want them using it when they don’t have to,
Plus, they are still winning by lots.
I’m okay with using AV to help out but my fear is AV will play alright and then be out for the season again….
1. I’m glad Mallory is still living, we need his top 10 albums of 2015. DO THIS NOW
2. It’s easy to get beer off a floor. I’ve spilled lots of beers, just wipe it down with something
3. Thanks for taking my advice and doing podcasts after wins.
4. Lots of background noise in this one, at some point I thought I heard a dog shake
5. Mozgov will be needed at some point, Andy is bad, he’s basically a less intimidating Perkins right now. So they will keep him
That’s all for now, thanks for doing these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe how bad Moscov still looks. AV’s DNPs are puzzling, since he should be able to provide similar – or better – production than Moscov right now. AV should have played in the second half. Andy should have checked himself into the game like LeBron does sometimes.
LBJ seems so much healthier this year. He is getting UP on his dunks. That reverse dunk off of the KLove long outlet pass was something from his youth.
Also will listen to shortly, thanks guys.
I thought Blatt looked a little pissed in the post-game. Pretty sure he wanted to win this by 25 minimum and bench most starters well before they actually did.
He was indeed mad. Mad about Mosgov’s mistakes, bench not producing more & at the media criticizing him (mildly). It was a very short interview. Probably the shortest this season.
Thanks Tom and all, for the recap and the podcast. I will listen tomorrow. I think tonight’s game is just an example of the opposing team having nobody who can guard Lebron. (and they are just a glorified D league team in general) It was disappointing that the Cavs couldn’t have hit a few shots when they got up 10-12, I think the Sixers would have just collapsed. I really dislike Grant, he really feels like a Celtics player to me.
