Podcap: Cleveland 95, New York 86 (or, Rolling Donuts, Launching Rocks)
2023-11-03After a listless performance against the Knicks in Cleveland on Tuesday, the Cavs went into MSG with a bit of a cloud hanging over their heads Wednesday. What ensued was some of the ugliest basketball since the late 90s, and one of the most anachronistic games you’ll see all year. The Cavs and Knicks traded rocks all night, with both teams struggling to score and the game coming down to rebounds, loose balls, and defense.
Fortunately, the wine and gold won enough of those battles to win the game, and come away with an improbable victory despite still missing starters Garland and Allen. The Cavs held New York to 35% from the field, but helped New York by turning it over 18 times.
Fortunately, Spida Mitchell led the way with 30, including 24 in the first half, while Caris LeVert added 19. Georges “Rolling Donuts” Niang, a surprise starter grabbed 10 rebounds and shared the night’s Junkyard Dog award with Tristan Thompson.
Elijah Kim, Chris Francis, and Nate Smith hopped in the podcast booth to explicate the game, and analyze the Cavs and their recent play, the NBA as a whole, and the next few games for the team.

Really enjoyed this one! Does anyone have the quote or the source of what windy said about Garland being rushed back from injury? I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Hell yeah thanks Will, posted the video I was referencing here.

LT up. Sorry.
Not a great start!
Welcome back JA!
Spida!!!
Got the kids down and I’m cracking open an Xmas ale!
LFG!!!
WE UP
Looks like DG and JA are playing tonight!
Much improved audio, guys! My ears (and brain) thank you for the improvements. Much clearer and no clickety-clickety non-stop via hot keyboard and mouse action.
NP! Really appreciate the feedback. I think my deverborator which tries to cancel room echo was dropping some audio. Hopefully I can get a nice middle ground worked out.
But also new mic setup.
Halliburton is listed as Day-to-Day.
LFG full starting lineup soon come!!!!
Looks like the only confirmed “out” tonight are Rubio and Jerome.
Dg and ja were supposedly good to go!!
Nice!
What is this?
I think they’re questionable.
Could we please see the actual fully operational starting lineup? Do not want to spiral too hard after we have two against GSW in short order, so would be nice to get one here.
🤞
