  • Constantly and unapologetically negative

    These guys are extremely negative. Guess it’s just not my thing to hear some podcasters complaining endlessly about the team and city, and dismissing opposing views with what I see as lazy counter-arguments. Maybe they’ll be right on, and every bit of their unmitigated negatively will be warranted. Still not fun content imo. And I hear enough people complaining about stuff already.

  • So ridiculously negative.

    We added a future star. Garland is clearly improving and 22. Allen is a top 10 center in the league. And sexton is at the very least an efficient scorer one of the best spark plugs in the league. And okorro has solid potential. We could easily make the play in. Bunch of eyores and Debbie downers. Keep on living in self Flagellation and misery guys. Pathetic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

323: Bearded Report Card
Q: What do you think defines the Cavs season as a success?
The minimum is conference finals; they should make the finals.
316: Amateur Hour
Q: Eli, what went wrong?
The Cavs were the more talented team but faced injury issues and lacked mental toughness, especially in crunch games.
303: Do the Collapse
Q: What do the Cavs need to do on the court, scheme-wise, execution-wise, and rotation-wise?
The Cavs need to not rely on the same eight players that aren't succeeding and instead make adjustments to their lineup and strategies, playing individuals like Marcus Morris and Tristan Thompson while setting better screens and improving their shooting.
