Cleveland fan here. Always represent my Cleveland teams. Ohio Teams! I will admit. being cavs fan since I Was born in the 80s. Win or lose, both teams deserve mad credit! For both teams, being small market teams compared to like LA, NY, Miami, Chicago, all the media loves those cities. we get no respect. We both should be damn proud of our teams playing hard and kicking all those big market teams you know what!!! Kudos to OKC fans, you are ok with us and hope we are ok with you guys! together lets have fun and take over this league together!
@@jb_2000sChet is traveling with the team, practicing with the team, he’s close to being back. Caruso is game to game, and Mitchell just has a toe sprain, they’ll both be back this month.
@@jb_2000s he’s traveling with the team, doing team practices and walking around with no crutches, he’s def close. The earliest he could come back was the week 8 mark and that was last week so def maybe. Even without him, as long as we have Mitchell and Caruso healthy we definitely are going to be looking much better than a rematch. I’d love to see both teams, fully healthy playing each other though so there’s no excuses about player depth.
Cavs fan here, appreciate yall thunder fans not being sore losers like some of the big market fans. Lets meet in the finals, Mobley v Chet would be a legendary battle
Cleveland fan here that listens to the slam and jam. This is my first time seeing you two and I'm in awe of the photos behind Spears. Wakka wakka bro, love you guys
First off, this game is sooo Gooood! 2 elite teams that have a chance to win it all this year! I’m ok with the loss cause even if it’s a high scoring game(strength of Cavs- # 1 in offense) , we came to play toe to toe with them. I love that OKC lose this one cause it’s better to improve than beat all the teams in the calendar. It also solidies the idea of you play within our strengths, then we will most likely to win this game. If it was a low scoring game, then HELL YEAH, Thunder is at 16th in a row right now. But this game, Cleveland won cause they played within their strengths Rebounding, 2 big lineups & shoutout to Atkinson with that zone, it stifled our offense down the stretch. These are things we need to improve on cause these are our weaknesses. #ThunderUp ⚡️
This / I hate this too. Unfortunantly Mark seems hell bent on packing the paint and giving up thr corners. Works most of the time until we get to a team like Cleveland or Dallas. I get it when your thin on bigs but we do have some of the best point of attack defenders and when Chet is back I don't see why selling out to the paint is necessary? You'll have 2 of the best interior defenders in I Hart + chet while collapsing to triple team a guy in the paint and leave the likes of PJ Washington open to torch us. I hope the Thunder adjust this strategy when fully healthy but something tells me they won't or collapsing to the paint is so ingrained in them we'll be yelling at our TVs why they are giving up wide open 3s. I see it being our Achilles heal
I’ve got a hot take : despite the line Hartenstein didn’t play well. Too many ill-advised offensive possessions with him handling the ball and he was getting killed constantly on the defensive end.
@@OliverWhale Him getting into early foul trouble hampered him defensively, too. He had to play less physical ham normal for a lot of the game. But, that's hoops.
Someone said when the playoffs start will the Cavs be able to play a slower half court game. They played that for years with J.B. Same team, doing it better.
OKC really struggled with the bigs in this game. Could’ve used Caruso and his ability to disrupt possessions and throw the Cavs off their rhythm and flow. Chet with Hartenstein would’ve changed this game dramatically. The foul trouble is just one of those things you have to learn from when you play the Cavs again. I thought the defense could be a little better at preventing penetration and kick outs as a result. All in all, this game had over 25 lead changes and the game at different points could’ve gone to OKC. The big difference being the size of the Cavs and the efficiency of their complementary players. OKC wins next week at home if they have a better defensive effort.
Y'all are talking about if Sha shot 3-6 from 3, it would've been a different game. Well, it Mitchell would've shot 7-15 instead of 3-16 out would've been a blowout. If my mom had 🥜 she would've been my dad
I think if anything, it would’ve been a big upset if Oklahoma City had won. It has to make you feel good as an Oklahoma City fan to know you pushed a fully healthy Cleveland team in Cleveland down to the wire missing your second best player and two of your best bench players. If Oklahoma City had been fully healthy And Cleveland were missing Allen, strus and Levert, I doubt it would’ve been down to the wire. That being said, Cleveland is still a great team, I don’t know if they would beat Boston in a seven game series if both teams are healthy, but they’ve improved from last year for sure.
Hey Andrew just a quick info. I Love your podcast and I'll be listening but I need to unsubscribe because of spoilers from time to time that pops in my notifs. I'm from Europe so I need to watch replays. If you change your titles I'll gladly subscribe again :) Cheers
Not on topic but can someone tell me why a team like the 76ers 5 games under .500 will be on 8 national TV games from now til the Allstar break and the Thunder have 2? Ridiculous
Cuz the west is soooo much better than the East right? Lmao. 3/4 of the best teams in the league in the East. 2-9 seeds in the West are all average teams. Thunder are the clear best team in the West then a severe drop off, can’t say the same in the East. It’s 2024 not 2016
@@phillipenkey3136 Cavs just beat the Nuggets, Warriors & Lakers on the road… when you beat ‘em they’re good teams but when the cavs do they’re not haha. Sure OKC is in the middle of their toughest stretch of the season & have had a harder schedule the last couple weeks, not sure why you’re trying to discredit the Cavs cuz of that tho. They’re 11-0 vs the West
Ty Jerome has been doing this literally all year. It wasn’t a fluke. Lots of half-hearted compliments, fellas…we hear the excuses. You guys say, “The Cavs deserve all the credit BUT….” Don’t qualify your compliments…either give a compliment, or don’t. Cavs fan can make excuses too, you know. Okoro played in his first game coming off a shoulder injury that had him out two weeks. Sam Merrill, one of our best shooters, also didn’t play. And though Dort played great defense, Donovan won’t have another game like that. Just give the Cavs 100% credit, and let’s run it back next week.
Chump Humdrum is not a factor when he hurt every other 3 months...he need some milk and some weight gainer drinks. Talk to me when he does that...till then he is not a factor on any level

Facts. These teams are legit. Mobley has been it
Oh man. If we’re healthy i dont think any one can fuck with us in a 7 game series

It’s weird how I’m not even upset about this game
Cleveland threw zone at OKC late and it disrupted thunders offense. OKC has to work on that.
Cleveland fan here. Nice show guys. I will check in again after the 1/16 rematch and then hope to see an OKC-CLE Finals.
30:39 something I’ve hated for the last few years. It’s so consistent. Opposing corner 3s are never not open.

Ty Jerome’s been shooting well all year. This is not new.
Would love to see these teams fully healthy go at it in the finals. Seeing Cavs fans say Chet wouldn't make that much of a difference is insane lmao.
OKC fans hate Rocket and Mavs fans, BUT CLEVELAND FANS ARE A-OK!! Killer game and congrats. See you guys next week 🎉🎉
Lotta yall didnt do your homework...Jerome and Levert are a double headed bench beasts for the cavs....Lotta people dont watch Cavs games
They were saying good things about jerome in the preview, he is an ex thunder guy afterall

Dude what games did you watch Hart balled tf out 😂
He was playing 1 vs 2 against Mobley and Allen at the back

But Jdub was sooooo passive in the final 5 minutes. Ugh. He just stood on the floor in place and passed the ball away. Watch the clips.

Guess we maybe could have used Ous-just for height?
He's really bad at using his length to his advantage, ous was definitely not the missing factor in this game
Get well Schlecht!

Oh nooooooooo

Hart passes as well as Giddy, but Josh had better hands, catching and holding on to rebounds. Just a thought.
The cavs fans coming to an OKC pod and talking shit and being salty is so funny.
Because we knew y'all would be over here whining and making excuses

Not until Chet is fit. Maybe Jaylen Williams should play more power forward.
Caruso is highly overrated
