For a half, the Cavaliers realized their dreams of taking it to the Golden State Warriors and changing their regular MLK Day fate of seasons past. Unfortunately, those dreams went dark in a nightmarish fourth quarter that saw them miss 14 of their first 15 shots. In the end, the final score was decidedly closer than the previous two MLK Massacres, but the Cavs had a fourth straight loss (9th in the last 12 games) to show for their efforts. Yet, at least the effort was there for the most part, especially in the first three quarters. It’s just clear there’s a lot more rust to knock off of Isaiah Thomas… as well as more tinkering with the rotations for Tyronn Lue to do.

Speaking of Lue, Nate and EG jumped into their own lucid dream/recurring nightmare about how much of the current state of the Cavs is or isn’t Ty’s fault, how much longer he should be patrolling the sidelines, and whether or not he’s even the one in control of things. They also delve into interpretations of what the Cavs can do to improve, read the tea leaves on whether or not the team will make a trade and try to determine why January basketball in Cleveland has to be so nightmarish at times. The good news is that we both think things will ultimately get better…
