313: Possessions in the Aggregate

The title of this podcast comes from the way the Cavs have been winning lately: the possession game. In their 12 game win streak, the Cavs have outrebounded their opponents in every game, and won the turnover battle in most of them. Rather than having one or two great rebounders (though Jarrett Allen is very good), with the addition of De'Andre Hunter, the Cavs have become a team that recreates great rebounding in the aggregate across all their lineups. Cleveland found a way to win the possession battle and the game again Wednesday night when they notched perhaps their ugliest win of the season. Despite three frustrating turnovers in the last two minutes, Cleveland clung to a 110-107 lead after a Mobley lob and a Hunter floater as the roll man put them up three with 1:20 to go. Tight defense, and exceptional SLOB D (sideline out-of-bounds) forced a Miami timeout, and then a cross court heave to Duncan Robinson who stepped half an inch out of bounds. Nate Smith and Chris Francis broke down this game and the last few from the CtB podcast studios where the topics ranged far and wide: the possession battle, Max Strus and Donovan Mitchell's struggles with biofeedback, De'Andre Hunter's sublime offensive and defensive fit, Evan Mobley's defense, Max Strus' gluey-ness, Ty Jerome's sixth-man cred, who scares us in the playoffs, Kenny Atkinson's coaching brilliance, Koby Altman's roster construction, Nate's bowling addiction, shout outs, the SNL 50th, and the Cavs' march to history are just a few of the threads. Join us as we revel in this season of gravy that is your 2026 Cavaliers. Advertising Inquiries: Privacy & Opt-Out:
