OHHH. Blocked by James. A phrase that is always refreshing to hear. LeBron James doing what LeBron James did.

Another appearance for Carter Rodriguez and Justin Rowan on today’s show. Their podcast, the ChaseDown, is the official podcast of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Always a pleasure getting on the mic with both of these guys.

We’re talking recent Cavs and recapping the team’s game with the Wizards. The future of the bench rotation. Why the threes have been down. The upcoming schedule and what these games mean for the team. All of it. 

Donovan Mitchell. Darius Garland. Jarrett Allen. Evan Mobley. Isaac Okoro. Sam Merrill. Caris LeVert. Max Strus. Georges Niang. Dean Wade. We’re talking about all of it. 

Let’s do it.

Yaron Weitzman is extremely well-respected in the basketball community. He wrote a fantastic novel detailing the 76ers and their time with “The Process”.

He’s published some incredible work, and always makes a good point. So of course with the Cavs and Sixers set to meet on Friday night, this is the perfect person to bring aboard.

Joel Embiid might be out, but Philly has found new life since trading for Buddy Hield.

The Knicks defeated them last night. Cleveland took a loss to Orlando. So it will be one of these teams losing a second game in as many days to open out of the All-Star Break. Who wants it more? 

Let’s discuss.

From Rising Stars on Friday night, to watching the best shooters in the world duking it out on Saturday, there was plenty to like. Stephen Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu was exactly as advertised.

But the dunk contest is clearly in need of some tweaks. There were 397 points scored in the All-Star Game, and it was really never close or competitive. And with that in mind, changes need to be on the horizon.

You cannot ask 40-year-old LeBron James to be the hero the game is not asking for next season. But have no fear. A new idea is here.

A passionate discourse needs to follow this concept. Because it is certainly a chance to enhance the current model.

Buckle up, folks.

Emoni Bates (Rising Stars) and Donovan Mitchell (Three-Point Shootout + NBA All-Star Game) will be representing the Cavaliers at All-Star Weekend 2024 in Indy.

We’re here to break down all the picks, including the much anticipated three-point shootout between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu.

Between the Skills Challenge, Dunk Contest, Multiple 3-point events, and the games featuring the best young as well as old talent in the game, we should be in for a treat.

Buckle up, folks.

While the Cleveland Cavaliers opted to stand pat at the 2024 trade deadline, there were moves all across the NBA. With the Knicks adding Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, with the Bucks beefing up their defense and point guard room with Patrick Beverley. The Sixers will be able to improve their floor spacing with Buddy Hield now in the fold.

While not every move has a direct impact on Cleveland, it shifts the league landscape around us. 

Time to provide grades on each trade and what this now means as to the state of the teams involved.

Across The Cavs S12 E5 (Ep. 187) 🔥Cavs 3 wins in 4 days, All-Star Reserve Reaction, Latest Around the NBA🔥

The Cavs knocked off the Grizzlies on Thursday night for their third win in four days. Nothing can stop them from eking out some of these incredibly tight games, as the cohesion only improves. 

With another W under their belt and the All-Star reserves now announced, some thoughts on the roster choices. 

Some wild stat lines have been put up in recent weeks. While not all Cavs related, they merit discussion.

Joel Embiid went from scoring 70 points to being out with a torn meniscus within the span of 12 days. Luka Doncic scored 73. KAT went from being on his way to a legendary night to getting benched down the stretch.

Plenty to get to today.

We’ve witnessed 5 wins in a row for the Cavs as they head into a six-game stretch that features three games with the Bucks.

Even with several players in the rotation playing inconsistently, it hasn’t slowed them up.

A look at a few names being floated as targets, and what the team may have to give up in order to acquire them.
