Windhorst Radio Show & Updates

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Overall, it was an interesting listen. Most of the stuff we've heard before, but there were some other little nuggets in there.
 
Lol, skip 6:30-7:05 and just read this post.

Is this motherfucker reading the site ?
 
Windy on Blatt:

The Princeton offense that David Blatt installed in the preseason, they just threw that out. What typically happens—and this has been happening for like three months now—is LeBron will take the ball, and LeBron will call the play. David Blatt will see what play LeBron calls, and he will repeat it to the team. That happens on a regular basis.
 
Windy actually liked what he saw of Blatt's offense in preseason. I'd bet on seeing more elements of it next season now that we pretty much have our team going forward.
 
Windhorst -- Thought Griffin got away with highway robbery to get the OKC pick in the Knicks/OKC trade.
Bill Stein: thought the Cavs got ripped off with the Denver trade at first, giving up two first round picks for Mozgov, but admits they were transformative now.
Windhorst -- Mozgov is the first two way center that Lebron has played with in the NBA
Bill Stein: Lebron taking the ball out of Kyrie's hands may have been the best thing possible for Kyrie's career
Windhorst -- Looks like Lebron and Kyrie will be a great marriage going forward Lebron was genuinely excited when Kyrie got 50+ points. Lebron and Kyrie still have some issues to work out, as seen in the iso play in the Philly game. That won't work in the playoffs
Bill Stein: That one on one stuff is the biggest danger for the Cavs in the playoffs.
Windhorst -- that's why they have to get Love involved
Bill Stein: Cavs turned Love into Channing Frye
Windhorst -- thinks Love has been hurt, and it shows in the back to back games and in 4th quarters. Love probably needs 3 months to heal

Windy: I've lost track of the number of times Lebron has directly contradicted Blatt in 45 seconds. Lebron might have to have a talk with Blatt asking him to tone down the post game interviews before the playoffs.
Bill Stein: The Lebron / Blatt dynamic is bizarre. Seems like Lebron communicates with Lue & Cavs bench acts like Lue is the coach instead of Blatt.
Windy: Guys that have been advanced scouts for 20 years have been asking "What's up with the Cavs bench? I've never seen anything like that"
Bill Stein: In huddles, it seems like players are locked in, but they are not locked in on the coach. Very strange. It is going to be fascinating in the playoffs.
Windy: Blatt's preseason offense was a Princeton offense and it looked good. Blatt has been dropping some nice plays out of timeouts lately. Maybe he'll win Lebron over.

New asshole is an understatement, he fucking taunts him lol.

Also then DLB's co-host calls Amin a former GM and is immediately corrected.

Stugotz is a notorious fuck up. It's his gimmick.

I just loved how Amin put Dan on the glass with him constantly bringing up old data with no context.

I love Dan as a journalist. But he admittedly is falling out of love with sports in general. He gas bags his way throughout the week when he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Like the majority of ESPN, he called the Mozgov-Shumpert-Smith trades "window dressing" and that it would have ZERO effect on the Cavs season when they happened.
 
The other thing is, the Cavs rarely foul, so they are surrendering very few points to opponent FTs. They also I think are pretty low on technical fouls. I'm not exactly sure how FTs are factored into those formulas but if you look at the points they allow per game its like 98 per game, and theres a huge pack of teams at 97 per game, so the Cavs are roughly on par with most of the top defensive teams in the league if you look at points allowed per game. They also score 5 more points per game than they allow.

The Cavs give up the least FT per game in the league at 19.9 per game.

Bill Simmons is the worst. I hate him.

Simmons is a harmless troll.

He himself said during the start of the year that the Cavs Big 3 would take time to gel with each other and whoever the odd man is between Kev and Ky, there will be plenty of "speculations" created just to get them unsettled!
 
Until the final 15 minutes or so, that was the most even-handed assessment of the Cavs that we've gotten from Simmons all year. His criticisms were fair, he praised their moves (and admitted he was wrong about the impact they would have at the time they were made).

Of course, he couldn't resist stirring up stuff about Love again toward the end, but I thought Windy did a good job of providing the flip side to the argument.

On that same note, I think Simmons' whole belief that Love is leaving after this year is based on the premise that he hates the way one of his favorite players is being used. It's clouding his judgment. "Kevin Love isn't being used the way I think he should. He MUST want to leave!"

It took basically every person with a basketball IQ higher than their shoe size to tell him his thoughts on Kyrie were absurd before he came around. I'm sure he'll wake up and realize getting max money, playing with the best player in the league and having a chance to play in the Finals every year isn't a situation you just walk away from.
 
After listening to Simmons and Windy, it wasn't as bad as some here are saying.

I will say Windhorst was often saying stuff he reported that Cavs fans chose not to believe, when many on this board said the same things he did.
