About this episode
Adam Mares and Jason Timpf break down the Cleveland Cavaliers’ four-game skid and whether it’s time for real concern. They discuss why the Spurs look like true contenders once Victor Wembanyama returns and how the Boston Celtics continue to outperform expectations. The guys look ahead to Paolo Banchero’s return to the Magic, evaluate whether the Dallas Mavericks are finally turning the corner, and spotlight the rise of Ryan Nembhard. They also debate the league’s best highlight-reel players, including Anthony Edwards, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Later, they react to the Lakers’ buzzer-beating win over Toronto that ended LeBron James double digit scoring streak, the Sixers outlasting Golden State in spite of another big night from Pat Spencer, and explore the best potential landing spots for Giannis Antetokounmpo, including why Orlando might be the most intriguing fit. 00:00 - Intro 02:46 - Cavs have lost 4 in a row.
