  • You can tell they’re paid by the team.

    It like watching fox news talk about trump.

  • Non-hyperbolic Cavs talk

    Great show for level headed fans that provides constructive criticism vs extreme all-or-nothing nonsense of most sports talk radio.

  • The Chase Down boys are just the best

    Justin and Carter have helped make the Cavs an even bigger source of joy in my life for many years now, and they are just simply the best. Though I’m never able to catch the live recordings, seeing a new episode pop up in my feed and listening to it on a walk with the dog is the perfect way to recap what’s been going on.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Raptors Series Preview with Esfandiar Baraheni
Q: Ask before we wrap this thing up and take this to the second half, with the Pull Up Trey podcast, we need series predictions here.
Esfandiar weighs in with Cavs in five or six, acknowledging potential for a swing game in Toronto and the general view that Cleveland's depth and pace could determine the series.
Cavs Defeat the Hawks and a Max Strus Interview
Q: Has there been any adjustments for you, like just learning what James Harden is capable of pulling off as a playmaker, given the size and the passing angles that he's able to create?
Yes, Harden's vision and IQ are exceptional; adjusting to a different pace and style of play while playing alongside him has required adapting to slower, more dissected offense and integrating into a flow where he creates opportunities for everyone, especially the bigs.
Cavs Defeat the Hawks and a Max Strus Interview
Q: Well, first of all, I want to start by saying congratulations on your recovery from that injury. What's been the biggest challenge for you as you've worked your way back into the lineup?
The biggest challenge has been getting the feel back and reacclimating to both ends of the floor; offensively the feel comes back quicker, but defensively it's the reaction and angles that take longer to re-trigger.
Baseball Series in Philly with Kyle Neubeck
Q: What are your expectations for the Sixers this season?
I think they can contend for the East if they stay healthy, but the goal is to gain experience for Maxey and Edgecombe.
Baseball Series in Philly with Kyle Neubeck
Q: Do you think both Joel Embiid and Paul George will play in both games?
Yes, they have been regularly playing and should be on the court for these games.
