Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the w im A Sports desk. The Cavaliers are
back at it tonight as they hosted the Houston Rockets.
The Calves have won three out of four following a
Monday night home win over the Bucks despite being ten
and five. Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson after Monday Night's win
said the season to this date has been a slog

(00:20):
and he talked about why the team just can't seem
to get into any good rhythm yet. This season just.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I don't even want to point to one area right
like where we're just you know, the turnovers where you know,
we had a real good stretcher where we weren't turning
over and then these last two games we have you know,
there's some focused things out there where we you know,
we'll look at it, we'll analyze it. See see see

(00:48):
my job stuff. Help them help help smooth this thing
out again. I don't I don't want to see doomsday here.
I think it's you get to win in the NBA.
It's tough, but you know, we know we can play better.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
We'll have the Calves tonight as they host the Rockets.
Pregame at six thirty, tip time at seven o'clock Meanwhile,
the Detroit Pistons ran there winning streak to eleven. Well,
they won twenty to one to twelve win at Atlanta.
He had Cunningham returned from injury, scoring twenty five points
as Detroit improved to thirteen and two, the best record
in the Eastern Conference. Also, Lebron James made his season

(01:23):
debut for the Lakers last night and a one forty
to one twenty six win over the Jazz. James played
twenty nine minutes at eleven points, three rebounds, and twelve
assists and became the first player in NBA history to
play in twenty three different seasons. Also winning last night
were the Suns, the Spurs, the Celtics, and the Magic.

(01:44):
Bad news for the Spurs, however, as Victor Wembanyama has
a calf injury and is out indefinitely. College hoops last
night a powerhouse double header at Madison Square Garden. In
game one, Michigan State beat Kentucky eighty three to sixty six,
and of the nightcap it was Duke over Kansas seventy
eight sixty six. A couple of games around Ohio Xavier

(02:08):
at home routed Old Dominion ninety nine sixty nine. The
Musketeers are now three and two, and kent State took
out Eastern Kentucky ninety three seventy eight. The Flashes improved
to five and one. College football, we get a Buckeye
update with Stally Insurance. The Buckeyes remained number one in
the latest college football playoff rankings, followed by Indiana, Texas,

(02:30):
A and M and now Georgia. Who's so planted Alabama
in the number four spot. Of course, the Buckeyes won
this past Saturday over UCLA without Carnell Tait and Jeremiah
Smith in the lineup. The star receivers both have injuries
that aren't thought to be serious. But yesterday head coach
Ryan Day really didn't provide any information on the injuries.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Our policies that we just we don't discuss specifics on injuries,
and then once you start going down a little bit here,
a little bit there, you know you can create a problem.
And so for a number of reasons, we don't discuss
those things. Then we put out the report the day
of the game. But I can tell you that they're
in great spirits. The medical staff is working hard. We'll

(03:14):
take a day to day and see how they come
in each day, but they're working hard to get back
on the field. And just so you understand, like we
check in every day, we take the advice of the
medical staff and use their feedback and we go from there.
So we'll continue to do that.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Thanks for that non update, coach. Turning to Maksha and
last night it was Western Michigan staying a game in
front of the pack where they thirty five nineteen win
at Northern Illinois. Western at six and one in the league.
Ohio right behind them at five and two after whipping
