Tuesday night edition of the pod. We're going to start with Danny. Do a little quick hitters here

0:04.9

five minutes or less on all the important games tonight that we watched. And then we're going to

0:09.6

mark Steinem to talk about some of the upcoming coaching vacancies and some potential candidates.

0:15.6

There when we start with Toronto Cleveland and what was yet another disheartening loss for the reps.

0:22.8

Yeah, this is a tough one to take for a couple reasons. One George Hill didn't play, Kyle

0:28.1

Corverdon play and no, how court did play? Yeah, we did play. He had had a that's right. He

0:36.7

the rotation was a bit different. That's right. But Cleveland, I thought the rotation, the set with

0:42.6

Thompson, Nance and love kind of two of the three being on the court any one time. This was the best

0:47.6

I've seen anything like that work. LeBron of course was great. And a lot of the concerns that

0:53.6

whether you're more negative or positive on Toronto against Cleveland in particular,

rear their heads again in this one. This is a little bit weirder of a game I thought. But certainly

for that. Cleveland starters in some ways it was a really odd game because Cleveland moved

1:20.8

nine out of their first 13 from three and then four out of their next 17. They got to the

1:25.7

fall line way more LeBron in particular and he controlled the game with 27.6 assists, 10 rebounds.

1:34.2

Toronto for some reason just couldn't hit a shot at the rim in this game. And Cleveland is one of

1:38.2

the worst rim protecting teams in the NBA. And I don't know what it was like Toronto just wasn't

1:42.7

going up strong. They were trying to go for these reverses on the other side of the rim and getting

1:46.9

blocked by Jeff Greed and Tristan Thompson. I mean guys who are not the greatest rim protectors

1:51.6

in the world. And Kyle Lowry was awful 5.2 out of 11 the night after going to San Antonio

1:57.7

to watch the Villanova game. So that was I don't take as much away from this game as I did the first
