CtB Podcast, Episode 61 — Trade Deadline Musings
2015-02-20https://soundcloud.com/ctb-5/trade-deadline-musings-cavs-the-blog-podcast-episode-61
After a frenetic trade deadline which saw 9% of the NBA moved, David Wood, Mallory Factor, and I answered the call of the CtB staffer’s conch, and assembled to podcast. We discuss trade day winners and losers, how Thursday’s trades effect the Cavs, our predictions for the the rest of the regular season, and Kevin Love’s highly retouched GQ cover. Also, included on this podcast is a fun episode of, “Story Time with Mallory.” We approach each subject with our brand of somewhat detail-oriented analysis and late night punchiness. Listen on Soundcloud above, with this link, or check us out on iTunes.
–Update: Technical difficulties scuttled the first Soundcloud post. Computers… am-I-right? All should be well now (though if the iTunes link isn’t updated yet, just wait for it).
—Update II: Thanks to @pinwheelempire for the awesome trade deadline 2015 flowchart. Check out the full version here.
Here comes Razor Ramon! Can he make it respectable?
He better not hit a three against us. They’re still o-fer.
Blair looks like a mini Big Baby.
Mini Big Baby is a reverse oxymoron!
. . . Or compound oxymoron. They are extremely rare. Nice job Arch.
wheres matrix at?
When Mike Miller, James Jones, and Mathew Dellavedova are on the court together…
…you know you’re up 40 in the 4th Q.
You should have put that in the form of a Jeopardy answer – and the rest of us guessed the question.
Damn, good call. Next time!
Dang, nice drive by Delly, Shump almost had another 3…
We need somebody on the second team to score.
This is more like the 3rd team.
Very true…. 2nd/3rd unit.
The bro love in the comments right now is awesome. When the Cavs are great, we’re all great.
Touche, us. Touche!
Great call, Gordon! HAHAHA!
Blair shot Shump in the head. A little chippy
WOW That hair is epic…
His hair got two inches taller during the break.
Hair maketh the man!
#SamsonShump
HAHAHA…. or #Shumpson EG???
Shump! That was a terrific move! Would have hit the dunk if he hadn’t got his head taken off!
He just thought he was taller than he really was.
Time to take out Irving. No need at this point.
Can Kyrie come out please? Moz too. No injuries to these guys with a 35-point lead.
Yes, I want to preserve Kyrie’s health and Moz’s +40
Mission accomplished. And Moz ends +42.
As you requested, Phil.
Holy Russian Vodka! MOZ is +40! I’ve never seen a number that high!
Mike Miller sighting.
Kyrie faked my eyeballs out! He’s my favorite.
Thanks U-Dog. ‘Preciate you and all the CtBers.
Great game, KI… keep it going!!!
That Kyrie dish to TT was awesome
Shump with the steal on the ensuing inbound!
Wiz just scored their first bucket of the fourth quarter… with 9 mins to go…
We don’t lose a game in the playoffs until Game 3 of the ECF.
Win the ECF 4-1.
Win the NBA Finals 4-2.
I guess the time off didn’t slow this team down… they are like a freight train rolling downhill now…
Delly has our last 5 points! This is like watching a pitcher going for a perfect game!
Or like when the team gets totally shelled and has to bring in the left fielder to pitch the 9th inning and the left fielder strikes out the side throwing knuckle balls.
This is some serious spanking lol.
Fred said, “The President was watching and he just turned the channel.”
HAHAHA…. I heard that one too! Fred is on fire tonight!
Delly looking like KI out there!
LeBron can have a nice rest. Kyrie will probably head to the bench soon.
DELLY!!!!! AGAIN~!!!!!!! RUDY RUDY RUDY WHERE YOU AT HATERZZZZ??>>????
That was a Hellavadova 3!
DELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Relax, Gordon)
Nice J, though
HAHAHA…. Even keel, Gordon!
RUDY IS GOING NUTS!!!!!
DELLY!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? RUDY RUDY RUDY!
The Wizards are still 0-13 on 3’s as we get into the 4th quarter.
Good for us that Ramon Sessions didn’t suit up tonight!
Yes… Razor Ramon would have been the difference…
Almost gotta 30 pt lead.
What’s good CtB!! Cavs looking really fresh off this break!
This game is long over…
Cavs don’t need to be that great on defense with all the offense they have.
Are we talkin’ championships? Or winning a playoff series or two?
I agree but what i mean is that they don’t need to keep teams in the 90’s like the Heat needed to do in order to win. They have more scoring.
Gooden with the Goodenesque throwaway into the stands.
Duck tail just threw a Haywood type pass.
At least it didn’t hit Blatt.
Great point, Uu-Dog! HAHA!
As Fred said, “To the invisible man…. always open, but doesn’t have great hands!”
Good one, Fred. You get some love for that.
Defense has been good enough… Offense has been great!!!
Unbelievable defense!
was that shumperts first time in in the third?
WOW….. DC can’t even score when they have a 5 on 4! GREAT D CAVS!!!!!
That was John Wall’s play of the year right there…
I love it when this team is locked in and plays hard.
And plays as a team.
I think LBJ and Co. have decided it’s money time post ASB.
They look like it tonight, that’s for sure.
This is just a beat down… like a cat playing with a mouse…
Like Michael Jordan playing with Michael Jackson.
I SOOO wanted to see a Delly coast-to-coast on that play…
Hey, he did make the right play though! HAHAHA! Gave to LBJ for tear drop!
I felt the same way though, EG! HAHAHA~
GREAT D BY DELLY AND JR!
LBJ scoring like it’s nothing… just effortless right now…
He’s a man on a mission.
Raptors spanked the Hawks by 25!! Will the Hawks go on a losing streak?
And it looks like Bulls are going to lose to Pistons!
Defense is looking really good this quarter! Offense continue s to click…. Love has made some key plays along with LBJ, Kyrie, and JR.
LeBron with the fadeaway just for the hell of it.
LBJ is doing the business man game.
LBJ looks SUPER serious right now…
Drew Gooden with the running bank shot??
Smart play by KLove there!
Great hustle by Love! He’s doing the dirty work!
Mike Breen just asked JVG what his PER was?
The Polish Hammer went for the tackle the neck play on Love.
Not an offensive foul there?
Remember Drew Goodens ducktail?
YESSS!!! That was such a hideous thing!
That was awesome. I still have my Drew Gooden Mr. potato head
LBJ playing within the offense tonight.
Agreed, U-Dog…. he looks locked in all night.
He is saving some for the 4th.
The way he’s shooting tonight he can bust loose. When you play within the offense you get good looks. You don’t have to force it.
except for that hot doggin at the end. hes gotta take wall into the paint
Wow the 3pters are on tonight
Should’ve been an offensive foul on Nene on that last basket.
JR SWISHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Love when he plays well! He’s like rocket fuel!
Great D there on that possession! Defense is picking up!
Kyrie’s gotta learn to hit em there. Don’t let wall get that bucket on the break
MOZGOD CRUSH!!!!!!!!
Wiz are like 0-13 on 3s.
0-12… but still that’s incredible…
LEbron, crushing the Wizards. Put em’ in their place
Unselfish play from JR finding LeBron at yhe the corner. He was wide open.
I meant JR was wide open.
When the Cavs hit their 3s like this, they are impossible to beat.
They get these wide open threes when they move the ball!
LEBRON looking like he shoulda been in the three point shootout!
JR TO LBJ FOR THREEE!!!! WOW! JR with the unselfish play!
Remember when Pierce spit in LeBrons face?
My son does… He has a Paul Pierce jersey that he made me buy at a second hand sports store and wrote LOSER on in red sharpie. I think he still has it somewhere…
what no i do not remember this, when?
I forget the actual game, but it was definitely Pierce who did it…
I think it was an exhibition game in Columbus around 2006 or 2007. Part of a near-rumble between the teams in the tunnel.
good god i never knew the pierce-james animosity reached THAT level. lebron would tear him limb from limb then use his disembodied leg to stir his paul pierce stew though, were he so inclined
You’re right Phil… it was an exhibition game…
According to Windhorst as quoted on Grantland:
In 2004, during a preseason game at Ohio State, “Pierce spit toward the Cavs’ bench, for which he was later fined $15,000 … in the dressing room area after the game … tempers flared again in the hallway [and] Pierce’s teammates had to literally carry him away to prevent an altercation.”
