0:00.0	Garland in the corner. He's got it.

The Cavs danced with the wolves and came away with a split of their home and home, and arguably their best win of the season.
0:40.3	Joining me today to discuss it is my co-host, Carter Rodriguez.
0:41.6	Carter, how you doing, buddy?
0:46.0	I'm doing good. It was a great Saturday for your boy. We had a no-douder, well-earned cavalier victory, followed by my first father-daughter dance
0:53.8	with a little lady. So it was very, very cute. Very little dancing was done with me. Much was done with her friends. But that was to be expected. That is absolutely delightful. I'm happy to hear that that went well. Do you agree that that was

1:49.2	Yeah.
1:49.6	I think that Spurs win was more important from an identity perspective of like,
1:54.9	hey, and it's not like, you know, Go Bear's a slouch.
1:57.4	He's probably going to win defensive player of the year when Wimby inevitably
