Episode 179: Dog Days, Random Encounters, & Lawn Chair QBs Aug 21, 2018

Show notes

Well... it's been a long, eventful summer. Amazingly, the NBA season is just around the corner with just a few weeks to go until training camps start up again. To celebrate the dog days of August before we delve back into the thick of all things Cavalier, Tom, Nate and EG settled into their old aluminum and frayed nylon lawn chairs to shoot the breeze for an hour or two. We talk LeBron and the Lakers, touch on some of the new faces coming to Cleveland, take some detours to the Browns, Tribe and even the unfortunate Urban Meyer saga... plus we share a little of our own travails this summer... including the time Tom and Nate had a random encounter at the same gritty Michigan small town chocolate factory. Yeah, it's long in the tooth... so what else is new? Be sure to stick around for Tom's awesome softball tales to get some real context for the lawn chairs in question...

Episode 176: A lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you’s Jun 14, 2018

Show notes

Well, it's a complicated case you know... about what happens next for the Cavs. A lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's for both LeBron James, Dan Gilbert and Koby Altman to ponder. Frankly, there's just a lotta strands to keep in our heads, man... lotta strands like the draft... free agency... and the future of the team. Probably too many strands for the old Duder to keep straight... but maybe not too many for Nate, Mike and EG to unwind over the course of a couple of hours in the podcast booth. We give one last gloss over the Finals, delve into the Lebowski er, LeBron Watch, speculate on where the King might end up, examine what the team might look like next year either with or without their leader, and take a stab at who we like coming out in next week's draft. Yeah, it's a long one... but like we said... it's a complicated case.

Episode175: Screaming Irrationally at the TV Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

David Wood hopped into the podcast booth with Nate Smith to try and make sense of what’s happening right now. The Warriors picked up another win tonight behind a super efficient 10-14 night leading to 26 points for Kevin Durant and a Stephen Curry record setting nine 3s. Throughout the game the Cavs played winning stretches of basketball where they were forcing misses and getting great looks. Against almost any other team in the league, their level of play would of netted them a win, but the Warriors are a different beast. The Cavs certainly had a hard enough time overcoming the Warriors, but we talked a lot about how the Cavs are having to overcome officiating in a series that should be tied, and have to overcome the shortcomings of their own coach (who's running their star player into the ground, and who's unable to play his best players), and the officials who seem to fall for every bit of Golden State BS and let them get away with sooo much more contact. It's almost like the Cavs are playing five on nine.

Episode 173: Rough Road May 24, 2018

Show notes

In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, The Cavs proved once again to be no match on the road as they fell behind early at the TD Garden by 13 in the first quarter, and wound up losing by precisely that margin in the end. Though they made runs in the final three quarters, they never really got the deficit under 10 that often, and trailed by as much as 20 early in the fourth quarter. The Celtics didn’t even really shoot that well, averaging just 36.5% from the field on the night… but they wound up taking 11 more shots than the Cavs given Cleveland’s 15 turnovers, and a lot of those were threes. Ty Lue once again went the inexplicable route in his wonky rotations… and had an even weirder response for why he didn’t play Kyle Korver at all in the first quarter… To recap and try to make sense of this nonsense… Nate, EG and RightDownEuclid gathered their courage and hopped into the podcast booth. We dissect what went wrong (mostly Ty Lue), what went right (Larry Nance stood up for himself), and whether or not we expect the Cavs to regroup and respond in Game 6. EG went off his meds to throw shade at Terry Rozier and his non-masculine fighting style, then contemplated the complexities of LeBron’s future. Meanwhile, Nate kept us all

Episode 172: Rage Quit May 16, 2018

Show notes

Nate Smith, Right Down Euclid, and a moribund Tom Pestak dragged ourselves into the podcast booth to lament the Cavs' game two loss to the Celtics. They discussed the Cavs' lack of discernable offense or defensive scheme, Ty's continuing inability to play his best lineups, the dumpster fire that is Rodney Hood's play, the Celtics, the future, and so much more. Don't rage quit. This one will be cathartic.
