Normally, to begin, we start with the last couple games and their impact. However, this time, there is seemingly no point in going over the dramatic, record-setting win that occurred on Wednesday night, mainly because only 60% of that team is still apart of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So, as the team had a complete rehaul, they will have to try to form chemistry and quickly too. The Cavs, in their next three games, have two huge games away at Boston and Oklahoma City. However, they will have the all-star break to practice and get to know each other.
That’s the main part of this podcast. Here’s how the breakdown of our ninth episode went:
