Cavs: The Podcast 0017 – A Dark (Not-So-Stormy) Night

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Tonight we lost to Memphis in the waning minutes.  Tom, Colin, and I all were a little ticked off, so we jumped on a podcast and recorded our thoughts.  Basically…We discussed Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters, the Cavs’ D, and the value of Anderson Varejao.  Among a bunch of other things.

Cavs: The Podcast 0016 – The Return of Raab

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

For those who have read “The Whore of Akron” it should come as no surprise that Scott Raab wants to see this Cavs team winning again (although, lets be honest, anyone reading this blog probably wants to see the Cavs as winners.)  On today’s podcast Scott and I got into some real nitty gritty conversation about what direction this Cavs team is headed in.  Specifically, we discussed the development of Tristan Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Tyler Zeller, and of course, Neon Dion.  In addition, we got into the bench (which hasn’t looked QUITE so terrible recently), Byron Scott as a head coach, and a little discussion on the other two Cleveland sports franchises.

Also, for the sake of civility, lets try to keep this comment section nice.  Keep in mind that everything on this podcast is opinion.  That being said, let us know what you think about what is discussed.

0015 – Is It Summer Yet?

Monday, November 19th, 2012

It might be early in the season, but six straight losses have us feelin’ a little blue.

On today’s podcast Tom Pestak, Nate Smith, Dani Socher and I spent some time talking about what we’ve liked and haven’t liked so far this season.  Topics we touched on were the Cleveland Cavaliers’ bench, Tristan Thompson’s game, Kyrie Irving’s passing, Dion Waiter, Tyler Zeller, and why the heck we keep getting blocked so much.  Plus much, much more.

As always, we’re on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cavs-the-podcast/id528149843

Cavs: The Podcast 0014 – NBA 2K13

Thursday, October 18th, 2012

I’ve admitted my love of the NBA 2K franchise before, so instead of writing some long winded article about how awesome this year’s addition is, I decided to rope Nate and Dani into a podcast where we profess our love.  But in reality this podcast represents much much more.  How good is Russell Westbrook, REALLY?  Would you guys trade for Tyreke Evans?  Greg Oden rules, right?  And Jay-Z is kind of awful.  At least at when it comes to sticking his name on stuff.

We had a blast recording this one, so I think you guys will like it too.  Also…Best. Research. Ever.  Not even my girlfriend could deny me my gaming time.

As always, we’re on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cavs-the-podcast/id528149843 – this will take a few hours to upload

And on SoundCloud at http://soundcloud.com/cavstheblog/0014-nba-2k13

Keep your eyes peeled for a few big podcasts coming in the next few weeks.  And of course, basketball season means lots and lots of beer tasting, so if you’ve got a rec of a great beer for me to check out and feature, hit me up on twitter @malfii

Cavs: The Podcast 0011 – All About Waiters

Monday, September 10th, 2012

Wait…what’s that?  It’s not 99 degrees outside anymore???

Holy cow!  I just drank a pumpkin spice latte!  And I think I saw a brown leaf on a tree!  And wait…THE NFL IS ON???

Oh…My…GOSH!  It’s almost fall!  Which means one thing to me – the NBA season is right around the corner!

The long and short of it is that we’re in the midst of the slowest part of the NBA calendar, which means there ain’t a whole lot to discuss.  Thankfully, I don’t care about calendars so I went ahead and recorded a podcast anyway.

As always, we’re on iTunes but that’ll take a day or two to upload - http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cavs-the-podcast/id528149843?mt=2 but we can also be found at on SoundCloud – http://soundcloud.com/cavstheblog/0011-all-about-waiters

For this podcast I was lucky enough to get Fred Katz on the line.  Aside from having been blessed enough to be a peer of mine during my high school days, Fred is a fellow contributor to Truehoops and has a really great history with the Syracuse basketball program.  Basically, this guy knows a ton about basketball and Dion Waiters.

Fred and I went through the strengths and weaknesses of Dion’s game, what his fellow teammates and coaches thought of his on court stuff, and about whether or not we, as Cavs fans, should worry about his off court issues.  We also spent a couple of minutes talking about the future of the NBA.

ENJOY!

Cavs: The Podcast – 0008 – The Draft, Pt 1

Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

IT’S HERE!

iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cavs-the-podcast/id528149843 (it’ll take some time for the podcast to appear on here)

SoundCloud link: http://soundcloud.com/cavstheblog/0008-the-draft-pt-1

The eagerly anticipated draft podcast has finally arrived (sorry it took so long!)

It’s slightly dated, as we recorded it on Monday (we talk about a potential trade for Okafor) but I think we cover some interested ground, especially on the topics of the fourth pick, potential trades, and Jared Sullinger.

I’m pretty sure we’re going to record a second podcast the night or two before the draft, and we’ll likely follow that up with a post-draft podcast too.

Enjoy!
