Cavs: the Blog - Cleveland Cavaliers TrueHoop Blog

Annnnnd SCENE!  Just like that, the 2013 season is in the books.  We know the trials and tribulations ahead – but what about this roster?  How did it perform this year?  Who’s coming back next year?  Why was Boobie Gibson such a G-D mess?

Well, folks, we’ve gotcha covered.  On today’s second-annual end-of-year podcast, Colin, Nate, and I answer all of the above questions as we go through the roster player by player, break down their 2013 season, and predict what their situation will be next year.

What an awful loss.  It’s never easy watching your favorite team lose to an equally awful one.  Even more, when you’re at home and coming off a pretty good last ten.

Tom and I had a lot to say about this lost, so we decided to pop on the line for a mega-podcast!  In it we discuss the recent loss to the T-Wolves, the development of Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters, and our bench, and answer some of your questions.

Enjoy!

We’re (SLIGHTLY OVER) half way through the season, which means it was only a matter of time until I emailed a CtB favorite, Scott Raab, and asked him to come on.

On today’s podcast Scott and I discuss Tristan Thompson’s breakout season, Dion Waiters’ progress, Kyrie Irving’s game, whether or not Byron Scott will be around next year, The Cavs in general, and recent moves for the Browns and Indians.

Joe isn’t tall.  He isn’t fast.  And I doubt he can hit an open three.  No, this Joe Johnson doesn’t play for the Brooklyn (New Jersey) Nets – he’s located all the way out in Indonesia.

Given the recent (somewhat) success of this Cavs team and the fact that we all know the NBA game inside and out, I thought it’d be fun to have a change of pace.  I enlisted a close friend, Mr. Joe Johnson, to come on and talk about the Asean Basketball League.

In this episode of the podcast Joe and I talk about how the Asean Basketball League is run, the types of people who attend the games, differences between the ASL and the NBA, differences between the ASL game and the NBA game, how the teams are put together, and Joe’s general thoughts on the NBA season thus far.

Things are looking up for the ol’ ball club!  A three game win streak, the emergence of a bench, Kyrie playing out of his mind…there’s a lot to smile about these days.  So Tom, Dani, and I decided to hop on the line.

In today’s podcast we discuss the win streak, Byron Scott’s contribution to the win streak, Speights, Ellington, and what the future holds for this Cavs team.

Things are looking up, my friends.  Tristan is playing well, Waiters just had an absurd game attacking the basket, and, as Kevin points out in this podcast, the Cavs are now 5 of our last 14, with a heavy dose of home games on the horizon..  Despite Andy’s best efforts, there’s lots to be positive about.

And so Kevin, Tom, and I decided to record a podcast.

In today’s episode we discuss Tristan Thompson’s development, Dion Waiters’s shot selection, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ bench situation, and why the Cavs keep losing so much.

What does Byron Scott have to prove?  Kevin and I discuss in this 18th installment of Cavs: The Podcast.
