The Cleveland Cavaliers are 48-10 with several players on the team having award-worthy seasons. I'm joined by Tim Daniel from The Block The Shot The Stop to discuss several NBA Award categories and make the case for some of the Cavs players for each including: 6th Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Clutch Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, & even Executive of the Year!
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 47-10 and hold the best record in basketball so today I thought we’d do something fun. I’m joined by Danny Cunningham from LockedOn Cavs and after asking him for a few updates such as: Darius Garland's injury, Javonte Greene's anticipated arrival, Jarrett Allen, Nae'Qwan Tomlin as well the Cavs recent defense and more - We each set out to build the perfect lineup from Eastern Conference teams to stop this Cavs team from making the NBA finals!
Just before the NBA All Star Break, the Cavs got a shiny new Small Forward named De'Andre Hunter, traded from Atlanta to help the Cavaliers in their pursuit of winning an NBA title. Yesterday the news broke that they also intend to sign Javonte Green after he’s bought out by the Pelicans, fortifying a wing rotation that was the Cavs' biggest weakness coming into the season. Now, it’s a strength. Today, we’ll discuss this new wing depth and who should get that 5th spot in the starting lineup moving forward.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 44-10, holding the 1 seed in the East. Today I’m joined by Kevin Lynch from The Block The Shot The Stop to discuss the Cavs' season. We discussed our favorite moments pre- NBA All Star break, how De'Andre Hunter fits in and what to do with the open roster spots, what we’re looking forward to during the home stretch and perhaps the most important question: are your Cleveland Cavaliers real NBA title contenders?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 44-10 heading into the NBA All Star break! I brought Mikey McNuggets from the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show & he also hosts a Cavs live stream on Bleacher Report. We're celebrating each of our choices for the Cavs season so far:
Game of the Year
Cav of the Year
X-Factor of the Year
Moment of the Year
Performance of the Year
Shock of the Year
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 4-1 in their past 5 NBA contests with some big wins over the past week or so. Since we got slightly off schedule with Sunday's guest (Luka from Real Cavs Fans), we're giving out our weekly awards to the standout Cavs players, staff, and celebrating the moments that tell the story of the past week or so of Cavaliers basketball!
The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to pull off a trade for De'Andre Hunter from the Atlanta Hawks at the NBA Trade Deadline, which allowed them to avoid the luxury tax and opened up at least 1 roster spot for the remainder of the season. I'm joined by Luka from Real Cavs Fans to discuss the trade, what options they have on the buyout market, and who they could target.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to pull off a trade for De'Andre Hunter from the Atlanta Hawks before the NBA Trade Deadline clock expired! I'll share my full reaction and dive into all the details of the trade. I talk numbers, cap impact, potential lineups, what the Cavs lost, what they gain, and more!
I was joined by Justin Rowan from The Chase Down Podcast to nerd out about trades and the Cavs lineup data. We discussed who should start in the 5th spot when the team is fully healthy, what it means for guys like Okoro and Wade in their roles when they come back, and how the Cavs could approach the trade deadline.
We're celebrating the past week of Cavs basketball through a slew of weekly awards. We preview the upcoming trade deadline - yes I recorded this before the Luka for AD news shook up the league, but the Cavs didn't get involved so I figured it was OK to release this anyways. Finally, we look ahead to the upcoming schedule.
In this episode, I was able to jump on with Tim and Mikey from the SportsEthos Hawks Cast to preview tonight's Cavs vs. Hawks matchup. We also discussed the news the Jalen Johnson has been lost for the season, what that could mean for how the Hawks approach the Cavs, what it means on the Cavs side and what the keys to the game will be for both sides.
In this episode, we'll give out a few awards as we normally do, but since it has been a tough week in Cavalier basketball, there aren't many to give out. We'll use our normal celebration time to determine whether or not it's time to hit the panic button or if perhaps Cam Johnson is the answer for the Cavs' recent struggles. For a little positivity, I also wanted to touch on the All Star Starter voting and some trends in those results.
In this episode, I'm joined by Spencer aka Spin Davies from Courtside with Cavs on SI to give us a unique view inside the Cleveland Cavaliers locker room. We'll learn about your favorite players' personalities, play some fun games, and answer the question all of us have been wondering from the outside looking in: Are the Cavs' vibes really this high?!?
In this episode, there's still plenty to celebrate from the past week of Cavs basketball, which we'll do with several made up awards with silly names! Game of the week, Cav of the week, X-factor of the week and more!!
In this episode, we're celebrating the past week of Cavs basketball with 8 awards from the week. Throughout which we reflect on the game of the year so far in the NBA, learn the real definition of "ethical basketball," revisit some massive performances, and more!From there you'll get a peek into the types of things that keep me up at night, such as whether Jarrett Allen would belong on the Mount Rushmore of all time NBA centers with a certain iconic hairstyle, before we look ahead to the upcoming games this week, including the rematch with OKC!Subscribe to our show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsEthosFollow the CavsCast: X & Bsky: @ethoscavs Follow Zac:X & IG: @zac_nbaYT & Bsky: @zac-nbaTikTok: @zac.nbaJoin the discussion by using #CavsCast on social media!

In this special crossover episode, I'm joined by Tony Pesta from Fear the Sword, the Junkyard Pod and his own video coverage of the Cavs (seriously, this dude is everywhere). And he was the perfect guest to help me celebrate Evan Mobley! The leap has happened, he's now one of the best two-way players in the NBA and he's only 23.

We'll touch on recent reports of the Cavs potentially seeking a consolidation trade to get under the luxury tax, what players could fetch a return worth considering, potential trade targets, and I put Bob on the spot for a game of 'would you trade this player?'Find Bob: https://cavspod.com/ Subscribe to the show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsEthosFollow CavsCast: X & Bsky: @ethoscavs Follow Zac:X & IG: @zac_nbaYT & Bsky: @zac-nbaTikTok: @zac.nbaJoin the discussion by using #CavsCast on social media!
