Are The Cavs Sleepwalking Into Elimination?
About this episode
The episode discusses the Cleveland Cavaliers' poor performance in the playoffs and the concerns raised by the hosts.
The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped Game 2 to the Detroit Pistons and the morning show crew is sounding the alarm. Cleveland has been outscored 62-39 in first quarters across the first two games, with hosts blaming a lack of urgency and a "casual" approach to start playoff games. James Harden is drawing the sharpest criticism for looking completely unable to attack the basket, while Evan Mobley's one rebound and inefficient shooting raised more red flags. Despite the doom and gloom, Lima and Baskin are still holding out hope heading into Game 3 back in Cleveland.
