2:06Now, the number one sports podcast network in America, I am Tim Daniel. And I am very excited to hear to be talking to you guys about the Cleveland Cavaliers. We're in their fourth game in a row in a 136 to 131 victory over the Orlando Magic. If you're just checking us out for the first time, welcome. We are so glad to have you here. Please be sure to hit that notification button here on YouTube. So you can only get me after each and every cast game. We get Danny Cunningham as well, on Locked-On, Cast. On tonight's show, we got a big one. The stars shine the brightest tonight. Mitchell, Hardin, Moby, particularly Mitchell. Lead the way for the Cleveland Cavaliers. How about Thomas Bryant bringing an epic spark to the team tonight as well? We're going to dive into him. And the cast three point shooting tonight really led the way. I'm going to talk about that a whole lot more. Every day is for you in the chat. I want to hear from you as well. But let's go ahead and get into it. Let's go ahead and get started. This is what you'll be talking about. So every single time I have one of these shows and I do a game in the cast of one of these

3:09close games like this, I have people that pop in the chat and they go, well, that's why you have, you can't count on the caps. And I don't know what you're talking about because tonight was a night that I thought that even though their defense was very rollercoastery, they were really freaking good offensively tonight. And obviously 130, 136 points shows that much. Most importantly, there are three stars tonight carried the way and we're obviously going to start with Donovan Mitchell of 42 points, 14 to 22 from the floor, three is seven from three, 11 of 11 from the line. And he led the way he was unbelievable in the fourth quarter and he won that game for the Cavaliers and the game that Orlando hung in there and Cleveland's defense, like I said, had some things where needed to be much better. But Mitchell made sure that, you know, no matter what Orlando threw at them, there wasn't going to be enough. And then you look at James Harden, 26 tonight, seven assists with eight of 16 from the four, four, six from three was awesome in the first half. I mean, right there at the end of the first quarter, I mean, right there at the end

4:11of the half draws the four point play on Ben Carroll. That was really kind of a big momentum swing for the Cavs as well. And then have a mobility tonight. Look, 19 points, nine rebounds, six assists, eight of eight from the floor. And yes, like we see right here, three of four from the line, have a mobility was really good again tonight and had a block, you know, this was a night where those three guys were, if you're going to pick against the Cavs because of this, that, and this, that, I get it. But if you're going to pick the Cavs, you're going to lead with Harden Mitchell and mobility. If you're going to think they can make a run the playoffs. And obviously, Alan's going to be back at some point. So that's going to make a difference there. Jalen Tyson's going to be back at some point. That's going to make a difference there as well. But those three guys being the starts of the Cavaliers, they led the way tonight. They were the ones that made sure the Cleveland was going to lose this one. They obviously have a back to back. So tomorrow's going to be really interesting to see how they play against Miami. Who's available? Who's not available? As we're getting, as we're winding on the season, especially in a game like this where

5:11Harden plays 37 minutes, Mitchell plays just under 35, Mobley plays 32, Merrill plays 33. So it's going to be really interesting to see how that goes, but I thought this was a night that even though the defense wasn't very good and Orlando kind of got their own, I mean, Palabank arrow had 36 tonight, Jamal Cain at 17. He was really good. Honestly, I got to give him credit. Tristan is still with 18 as well. And I thought Wendell Carter was awesome for them as well. Kaz offense just kind of was so high powered that it was one of those games. It was one of those shootout games where like, yeah, you can probably, if you're a nitpicking fan, you can go, you know, they probably need to find a way to move that, make that game happen. Or you can say, like, look, offense was just fine there. Furniture doc brings up Hardens past his truce. I don't know if I've ever seen that before. That was the most insane pass I've ever seen. He's not even looking at him gets it right into his hands. I mean, it's, it was unbelievable. Shout out to Max Tristan as well. 11 points and that put back dunk, that three from Harden, I thought he was great as well.

6:12So big win for the calves, a big offensive performance. And that's why you got to be confident if you're a calves fan. They may be able to just pull off winning this Eastern conference. We don't, we're at least getting to the conference finals. I know that's what people are kind of asking for. Just get to the second round and offensive performances like tonight when you're three stars, do what they did or why you feel like they can't, right? That's exactly why you think they have it in them. And then you know, when you have nights like tonight where you're off into guys or goal and when your stars are rolling, you just need some guys to step up. You just need that little spark. Sometimes you got to call on a guy like Thomas Bryant. Workplace chaos, deadline stacking up, inbox overflowing. And the one position you have the still, the fill still sitting open.

We love talking with you as well. Thank you so much. In the chat tonight, we're getting some really good comments. I got real MP here saying good win. Now let's get to next two. Falls it up with Orlando gets way too many foul calls. I agree with this honestly. I do. And then we have belief fan bringing up undefeated the Orange Uni. So should we make the petition that the Orange Uni should be the city jersey next year as well? I think so. I think we need to make that happen. But yes, a big night for the Cavaliers, a huge win against Orlando Magic, who I know

10:22are on a bit of a losing streak and are coming off a loss to Indiana last night, but you still need that one. You need as many wins as you can get right now. And sometimes you just need a guy like Thomas Bryant to step through and give you that little spark, right? It's time to reveal who made the biggest under the radar impact with today's X-Factor. Yes, Orlando shot 38 free Thursday night. That was insane. Now, I want to talk about Thomas Bryant. And I don't talk about Thomas Bryant enough on the show, to be honest. I feel like there's a lot of nights where he just gives in that little extra oomph, that little spark that they need. Obviously, he's the third big when everyone's here, when Mitchell, I mean, when Mobile and Aller and Healthy, Thomas Bryant's the guy, this guy comes in to give those guys a little bit of a break. Thomas Bryant wants to see last guy signed a week before training camp. We all thought that what Larry, Larry and his trainer was going to be getting Thomas Bryant's minutes. I love Larry, but he certainly, certainly kept things going for them. And tonight, nine and six, that's great. And I certainly think that matters.

11:23But that nine that he gives them is particularly the dunks, those three dunks. I feel like the calves really needed, you know, he just kind of just that little spark they needed to bring the energy up, you know, the first quarter was obviously really ugly. Cleveland kind of gives up a lot of points there in the first quarter. So 39 to be exact. And you're kind of like, okay, you know, this just looks like it could be one of those games where it could be, you know, they just need that little extra something. And I felt like tonight, Thomas Bryant gave them that little extra something, obviously had a couple big rebounds as well. And this is what they really need from that back up big position, right? Like no, he's not going to go four or four every night. But just be there to figure out how to bring up some space, give Mobile a little extra bit of a rest. I mean, and obviously the thing about Bryant, he didn't do it tonight, but has that ability to stretch to four, didn't shoot a three tonight, but we've seen him hit or knocked down three in the past, obviously. So and like, this is a guy who's won, right? I mean, he was on the past year, slash year, he was on the nougas the year before.

12:23Like, this is a guy who's been to the finals and won a finals. He kind of knows what it takes. He's played with LeBron and L.A. He's kind of been around the league quite a bit. So, you know, obviously is a little bit like the kind of a significant upgrade over what Tristan Thompson was for this team last year when they didn't really have a third big. So that was really nice to see, but shout out Thomas Bryant, just giving them that little extra step tonight. That was awesome. And you know, another thing that really ginned up tonight, we haven't seen a whole lot from the calves. There are three points shooting tonight was excellent. We're going to talk about that after the final break. What is sports we're trying to like markets? Now you can put your sports IQ to work in real time with Robin Hood prediction markets.

But first, let's get to our locked on player of the game. This is the locked on player of the game. I think my tattoo is pretty fitting for locked on player of the game tonight, right? It's spider. It's done of the Mitchell. Who else could be 42 big once tonight? 14 of 22 from the floor, 11 of 11 from the line and contributing big time, getting a quarter of the cast 12, three tonight, tonight with three of them. So down to Mitchell leads the way and the cast three point shooting tonight was tremendous. So they shot 40% as a team and obviously that really mattered. You know, Mitchell and Carden combined for seven of those. You get three up to bench from Max Truce and you get two from Sam Merrill as well. Dean Wade missed his two. He took then a shooter missed his one. It's like, well, wait, that shooter was good tonight. We haven't really had a big, a nice game from him in a little while.

15:28So it was nice to see that again. He's obviously an effort guy, but cast three point shooting tonight and a game like this when Orlando is also able to shoot quite a bit of threes. I mean, Orlando had one more three than free thrift tonight at 39, three and 38 free thrift attempts. And the cast still found a way to win this one. Three question was like, it was awesome. And it was just nice because it was it felt like every through is at a big time, especially that the three screws hit. I feel like all three of those mattered so much in the game. Obviously, it's a five point game and she's hit three threes that's going to make a difference. But I feel like each and every one he hit, particularly the one off the pass from Harden, the maybe the most insane pass I've ever seen. That just kind of really dictates a whole lot for them. And they've been really up and down through three point shooting this year. It's been a little inconsistent. So to have games like this, when you're shoot three pointers really well, against a team who's trying to battle and get a spot in the playoffs, I feel like you got to really appreciate that. And big one for the cast tonight. And I got to make sure I get this in there real quick. Because a couple of weeks ago, when Cleveland went to Orlando and we lost,

16:32I had a bunch of magic fans in here that said I was complaining because I mentioned that the calves didn't have Jared Allen and Orlando was down Bogner and Black in all these players. And I said, yes, I know that they're down those guys. And I had a bunch of you guys, these magic fans come here and tell me to play the song. So does that still stand? Cleveland one three of four against Orlando this year. I just want to make sure I get that out there. And oh, we didn't have Jared Allen again tonight. And I know you guys didn't have your guys either, but you know, same story. So I guess you guys can enjoy that song in your long losing streak. While we celebrate a Cavs victory tonight at a final of 136 to 131. And we're going to go ahead and wrap up the postcast here on that note. I will be back tomorrow night as we start the baseball series against the Miami Heat. Everyone, thank you so much for hanging out with me tonight. I always enjoy getting to do this. Go Cavaliers. I'll see you on tomorrow. Let's talk about another win tomorrow, shall we?
