Summary:
The Cavs top the NBA’s best team in a game that had playoff intensity. Then they drop the next two without Kyrie and some bad free throw shooting from Lebron. Can they right the ship with 4 games in 5 nights this week? Meanwhile, can the Browns do anything right lately? From botched logo redesigns to signing a QB that just wants to be a mentor, the guys in Berea aren’t winning the publicity game. We’ll recap the week that was. It’s GameTime!

 

Hosts: Mike Kresic, Tom Kresic

Running Time: 43:02

 

 

 
1Q: Josh McCown

Brian Hoyer is out, 35 year old Josh McCown in.
Hoyer wanted to be a starter. McCown is happy to be a mentor. So we opted for a guy who is not interested in fighting for a job?

 

 

2Q: Browns Logo Change

A bolder shade of orange. A brown face mask. And this required a press conference?
No imagination at all.
The Browns continue to be an embarrassment in everything they do. National media mocked us, justifiably, for the logo ‘change’.
This isn’t why you want to be on the Tonight Show.

 

 
3Q: Cavs Falter

Impressive win against the Warriors. Team effort, but defense gives up easy buckets too often.
Kyrie injured his shoulder, missed the next two games.
Blatt sat LBJ the next night against Indiana, team plane had problems. Expected, and got, a letdown loss in that one.
Another good game against a tough Houston team on Sunday until late in 4th and OT where Cavs reverted to 2008 version of themselves. Lebron dribbles for 22 seconds while other 4 guys stand in corners. Then he hoists a 3 pointer. WE CAN’T HAVE THIS ANYMORE. There are more talented guys on this team now.

 
4Q: Lebron vs Harden

This became a game of Lebron trying to show up Harden for MVP.
LBJ had 37 pts, but it took 35 shots (15-35) to get those. He can’t shoot that much. NOBODY should shoot that much.
If Blatt can’t fix this come 2nd rd of playoffs, expect more of the same.
JR Smith played 51 minutes. Mozgov only 18 mins and not in late at all. Kendrick Perkins DNP. Weird rotations out of Blatt on this one.
James Harden suspended one game for kicking Lebron in the nuts.
The brutal schedule continues this week with two more back-to-backs and 4-in-5 nights.
