0:00.0	Welcome to the Ringer NBA show. I'm Chris Varnish, one of the teams he does every Tuesday,
0:15.6	which we are recording on a Monday night, actually in the fourth quarter of the Cleveland
0:20.8	Toronto game, which we believe we have made an early call and think it's already been
0:25.9	decided. It's Kevin O'Connor from the wringer.com aka Kevin O'Bomer aka Kevin O'Conflict aka Kevin
0:33.7	O'Concert, Kevin O'Conment, Mr. Blow it up himself. Kevin! Blow it up! Blow it up! You're
0:42.0	not even going to let this game end. They're only down 28. No, you know, you know, Chris,
0:46.2	I wrote about it this week and blowing it up would be nice, but I think you get a, you
0:51.7	probably got to play out the next two years and just trying to build, trying to maximize it.
0:56.4	Cause I don't know if the return's going to be there, not there's a jump straight into it.

1:38.0	that is the most discouraging thing of everything. You know, if you've got a team that scratches
1:42.3	and fights and claws and you lose in the end, then there's a, there's a level of pride in that.
1:47.4	And there's a level of hope in that. But when you lay down like this, yikes.
1:52.8	It's like the Margavers and said his team thrives off of adversity, but that has not happened
1:57.2	at all. Has it, Chris? Especially tonight. It's a Cleveland, I mean, right out of the gate,
2:03.3	really. I mean, they were getting what they wanted. You know, LeBron James is LeBron James.
2:08.0	And Kevin Love has been stellar the past three games. And Kyle Corver has been fantastic tonight.
2:14.5	And for Cleveland, just Toronto's effort has just been really dismal. Nice to see a 10 million dollar
