Podcap: Cleveland 139, Charlotte 132 (or, Who Needs Garland Anyway? (maybe the Cavs)) — plus Live Thread.

Merry Christmas eve eve, Cavs fans. On Christmas eve eve eve, Nate Smith, Elijah Kim, and Chris Francis podcapped the Cavs 139-132 handling of the Charlotte Hornets. Garbage time ruined what should probably have been a 15 point win. (Charlotte’s back door cover I’m sure has some folks up in arms – to which I’d say, “Stop gambling on pro sports. It’s dumb.”) After going through the game, (one of Garland’s best of the season). Elijah Kim started the slop talk early with his plea to ditch the Christmas Garland as we teased in yesterday’s live thread. Lots of trade proposals, some of them fantasy, some of them meh, and some of them nightmares (LaMelo might make me sell this blog) were explicated from our dreams. We covered lots of other minutia too: egg nog, New Year’s resolutions, never playing De’Andre Hunter at power forward, Christmas wishes, Dan Gilbert, off color jokes that no one but Nate got, the state of the NBA, the NBA cup, and so much more. Merry Christmas, to our wonderful readers and listeners – and even our not so wonderful ones.

— Just adding the LT to the end of this. DeJounte, Herb Jones, and Jordan Poole. For the Cavs, Garlands giving it a go, Merrill’s starting in front of Jalen, and Lonzo is on injury management. Mobley Strus, and Nance are still out. Go Cavs.
