  • Respect

    Chris has grown so much over the years. And Jimmy has some great takes. Ethan knows his stuff but I just can’t follow the cadence of his talking. It grates on me for some reason.

  • STILL Amateur hour

    After a few months off, I was hopeful this podcast dropped high school level Ethan but he’s still somehow the moderator of this awful pod. And Chris offers no objective perspective. Just non stop showering of blandishments and kissing of butt content. I mean Cavs are great but come on Chris, last year you defended inept JB and this year you proclaim Niang is untradeable?! lol. Must do better here!

  • Ethan your mic is hot garbage.

    I enjoy this podcast and its content but for the love of God Ethan can you buy a mic that doesn’t sound like you’re talking into a Nokia inside of a wind tunnel. It’s a podcast. Produce quality audio.

  • An embarrassing listen

    Fedor is one of very few people who can give good Cavs insight, but it’s become so plainly a habit for him to have an incompetent co-host that I’m starting to wonder if he deliberately prefers it this way, so that he can seem smarter. That’s the only explanation I could come up with for having Hayden and now Ethan co-host. They are truly the two least qualified people I’ve ever heard host a podcast, and that’s saying something! I want to keep up on the Cavs, but this is an embarrassing listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why did the Cavs’ offense look so clunky in their opener against the Knicks? Hey, Chris!
Q: What did you think of Dean Wade's performance against the Knicks?
Dean played his part well and contributed positively, filling gaps in the team's performance even though his role is limited.
Why did the Cavs’ offense look so clunky in their opener against the Knicks? Hey, Chris!
Q: What do you think about the defensive approach and the aggressiveness that the point of attack defenders are playing with?
The Cavs are likely to struggle guarding on the perimeter and at the point of attack, lacking players who can effectively manage dribble penetration against stronger opponents.
Why did the Cavs’ offense look so clunky in their opener against the Knicks? Hey, Chris!
Q: Can you explain why the offense looked so stagnant last night?
The isolation-heavy offense is what the Cavs were trying to prevent or get away from this season, but missing key players led to confusion and less effective movement on the court.
Cavs season opener exposes familiar flaws and early growing pains
Q: What adjustment or mindset do you want to see on Friday night that tells you they took something from this season opener loss?
I want to see a higher level of intensity and aggressiveness right from the start of the game.
Cavs season opener exposes familiar flaws and early growing pains
Q: Is it an establishment on the front court that needs to be addressed or is it more about guards not helping on the glass?
It's both; the guards have to dig in, but it also starts with the bigs. You can't win if the other team wants the ball more.
