Emergency Podcast Episode 62 — Cavs down Spurs! + Bonus Pod!
2015-03-13https://soundcloud.com/ctb-5/ctb-podcast-episode-62-cavs
Robert will have a recap up after this, but in the mean time, Tom and I, unable to sleep after tonight’s awesomeness, got in the studio to talk about this epic Cavs win. In case you missed it, this was one of the great Cavalier NBA regular season games of all time. LeBon scored 30, and Kyrie Irving scored a Cavalier record 57, including a three at the regulation buzzer to force overtime. On this podcast, we talk about the epic game, Kyrie Irving, the fantastic play of the both teams, LeBron’s mean mugging, celebrations, and how winning absolves everything, even Tristan Thompson’s leather pants. You can listen above, on Soundcloud, or on iTunes.
BONUS COVERAGE!: Tom was on Dayton radio yesterday afternoon to discuss all things Cavalier. So you got that going for you too — which is nice.

Thanks for the shoutout. This was. Good podcast. Thumb ligament repaired in cast until April 8.
One of the favorite parts of the game is when Leonard had to defend against Kyrie and didn’t have much success. You know, is there any player in the league that can get into his head like Leonard can with Lebron? As much as some really pile on Delly, he’s been great for Kyrie in practice when he defends against him with the same tenacity. I remember a story from last year when it was reported that Kyrie got really annoyed with Delly in practice being all over him that he told him to get off. Coach Brown stopped him… Read more »
I read something that said 19 of his 22 field goals were contested. He is a special talent. And I think you’re right – Delly checking him in practice has got to be good for him
No one can stay in front of Kyrie – no one.
A nice rundown of Kyrie’s evening and how difficult most of his chances were:

And I totally agree with you that LeBron should not be bringing the ball up against Leonard. Leonard is a better defender than LeBron is a ballhandler. Even if he doesn’t turn it over, it burns most of the shot clock.
Great Podcast! Thank YOU!! I was really pumped from win too. Went to work to be tormented by Kiley/Booms depressing Browns talk to nauseam. What is wrong with them??? I’m freakin out in the car to hear ANY talk about Kyrie’s awesome game and Zero. Went home and saw your podcast. Life is Good!! LoL Kyrie took taking on Parker personally all throughout the game. Did you hear his interview with Isiah Thomas? “DESTROY” were his exact words on elite PG’s . He had his sights on the NBA champion PG last night. LMAO watching Steve Smith’s portrait of Kyrie… Read more »
I was also one of the guys who really started hating Kyrie last season. He clearly didn’t give his full effort every night and I didn’t like how he didn’t trust his teammates all. The “buddy ball” situation was stupid, but I sided with Dion because I agreed that he was getting unfair criticisms for defense and bad shots, because it seemed like Kyrie was held to a double standard. Thank God we made it out of 13-14 alive… man. But once this season started, it was evident that Dion couldnt play with this new team. I LOVED the trade… Read more »
10-5 seems pretty reasonable to finish the season at 52-30… mostly because you’ve got to figure they get guys rest over the last week before playoffs start…
Great job guys! LOVED the swag pic with TT’s leather pants! Also… you guys watched WAY too much Friends…
