Summary

5R3- After another embarrassing national TV loss and surrendering 148 points to Oklahoma City, Ethan and Chris try to figure out if this is the year that Cleveland struggles in the regular season actually mean something.

We break down this now annual tradition for the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James in what might be his last season there, the potential for a Cavs trade, and who in the Eastern Conference can finally stop them from getting to the NBA Finals.
