While the Cavs took care of business against the Utah Jazz, even though that game was a little closer than it needed to be for the majority of it.

And then they dropped the ball against the Los Angeles Lakers.

I'm doing good. I'm, I'm sleepy.

I think are the hardest ones to watch as a fan.

And, you know, I think I'm disappointed to be sure with the outcome. You know, you know, I think I'm, I'm disappointed, uh, to be sure, uh, with the outcome.

But nevertheless, I just think it was a very disappointing outcome,
