Scott Sargent, editor and co-founder of WaitingForNextYear.com and a contributing writer for Bleacher Report, joins the show to bring the guys up to speed on the state of the Cavs heading into another Christmas showdown with the Warriors. New faces such as Dwyane Wade, Jose Calderon and Jeff Green have the team surging after a rough start to the year. Scott explains what has made the Cavs’ excellent second unit work so well, why Calderon has been a surprisingly good fit with the starters, where Isaiah Thomas and Derrick Rose will fit moving forward, what Tristan Thompson’s role will look like and whether any roster moves are coming later this season. … Plus: A quick rundown on the Warriors, and the LeBron James vs. James Harden MVP debate.
With the Cavs and Warriors about to meet for the first time since the NBA Finals, the guys welcome their first guest, Mark Meszoros, News-Herald assistant managing editor/features and a Cavs diehard, for an all-NBA edition of the pod. Topics covered include: memories of past Cavs games on Christmas Day, storylines from the first 25 games of the season, and how the Cavs match up with the reigning champs. (At the end, we made sure to get a few movie recommendations from Meszoros, too.)
