Three in a row! Ten of fourteen! The Cavs are trending up, and Fear the 'Fro celebrates an Evan Mobley gem in Sacramento followed by a complete team win in Orlando on a back-to-back. Then Bob explores the Most Improved Player award, and makes a case for where Jaylon Tyson should fall amongst the favorites.

Jaylon Tyson ripped out the hearts of the Philadelphia 76ers on a career-high scoring night. And he was the only one.

TAKE THAT Joel Embiid! The Cavs pounded the Sixers and won by nearly 30, as Cleveland gave a complete effort with multiple bright spots, and one glaring negative... injuries. Bob breaks down the game, reacts to some fake trade rumors, and talks about the young Cavs on the rise.
Five players scoring 20 plus? That's a recipe for a bounce back win. The Cavs smoked the Wolves, as Garland carved up the defense, and 'Frobley didn't miss a shot at the rim. Sam Merrill did Sam Merrill things, and bigotry was snuffed out. Join Bob as he celebrates a big Saturday for the Cavs.
The Cavs held off the Pacers, and pushed their losing skid from 12 to 13. The stories of the night? Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and CPJ. Let's discuss. Then Bob appears on the Setting the Pace podcast to chat about the game and Pacers with the pod of record for the Indiana Pacers.
We got scorched by a two-way player. The Cavs dropped a home game against the Pistons, after giving up 47 points in the 2nd quarter. Despite some late game Donovan Mitchell heroics, it wasn't enough to overcome some great role player contributions from Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green.
Get ready for a TRADE-A-PALOOZA. Mike Lucas (McNuggets), of The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, joins Bob Schmidt to talk trades. Some are terrible, some are profound, some are no brainers. But Fear the 'Fro has a Cavs trade with every single team in the Eastern Conference. Strap in.
Fear the 'Fro celebrates a glorious, magical night of Jarrett Allen dominance, Jaylon Tyson cooking, and CRAIG! Plus the first ever in-flight mailbag, and a personal announcement.
Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, is back to recap a disappointing holiday weekend where the Cavs were bullied in 2 straight games. Has Jarrett Allen worn out his welcome in Cleveland? Fear the 'Fro gives you his take. Fill out the merch survey here:https://cavspod.com/survey/

It's been a week. But the Cavs are back in the win column, after making short work of the Pacers. Donovan Mitchell exploded with another 40-point effort, and Jaylon Tyson played perhaps the best game he's ever played. Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, breaks down the recent woes, empties the mailbag, and talks the state of the Cavs.
Zubac got his, but the Cavs handled the Clippers with relative ease to close out the home stand. Donovan Mitchell had another incredible game, as he achieved some history from outside the arc in the process. Bob delivers a recap of the weekend, and leaves you with a song which will surely be the conclusion to a feud. Right? CHALLENGE ISSUED.
The Cavs struggled with their shooting and free throws in a loss to the Houston Rockets. We re-assess where we're at with the Evan Mobley leap year, and the continued impact of Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Craig Porter Jr. And then... the Junkyard Pod attacks my integrity. Slander will not go unanswered.
