One game into the 2017 NBA Playoffs, things are playing out pretty much as expected... unless of course you're a Celtics, Raptors or Clippers fan and you find your home court advantage got cracked like an Easter egg. From a Cavalier perspective, Game 1 against the Pacers might have been a wee bit more fragile than we hoped for, but still a close win is better than a close loss. Nate and EvilGenius hopped into the podcast booth tonight to revisit some of the finer points of Saturday's Cavs matinee playoff debut. We also discussed the curious absence of Iman Shumpert from the rotation, whether or not this season's malaise has seeped into the fanbase, and cracked open the other first round series... some of which have provided early surprises. We even speculated about why missing out on the number one seed might have been a good thing for the Cavs, and why the Raptors should really be fearing the deer right about now. Catch all of this, and some bonus discussion of David Griffin's future in this episode...Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
