Fear the 'Fro breaks down the Cavs win over the Hornets, as the Pelicans await on the back half of a back-to-back.  De'Andre Hunter erupts, Sam Merrill returns, and DG carves up the Hornets defense to keep his positive momentum going.

We stink.  Let's commiserate about where rock bottom is on the Fear the 'Fro podcast, with your host, Bob Schmidt.

The long layoff is almost over.  Fear the 'Fro empties out the mailbag, lets the masses vent, and tries to put a positive spin on what COULD get better.  Then we talk about Giannis trade rumors.  PLUS... two songs and spotify wrapped results (comes with a contest).

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.

Fear the 'Fro kicks off the week celebrating wins, and leaning into podcast feuds.  Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, breaks down their win over the Grizzlies, and then addresses the ongoing assault upon the sanctity of "The Road to 301" from the Junkyard Pod.

(15:58) The Junkyard Pod: My Rebuttal

CRAIG. PORTER. JR.  

What a game!  The Victory Cigar Lineup ended up salvaging this game in the 4th quarter.  Craig Porter Jr. had a career-defining performance, while Jarrett Allen hung 30 on the Heat, and the Cavs pulled away late to shock Miami on the front end of a back-to-back.  Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, breaks it all down.

Fear the 'Fro celebrates the rise of Jaylon Tyson, and the Cavs climbing back to the top of the Eastern Conference, and the ascent of the role guys.  Then Bob discusses some slanderous cowards who have sullied the Cavs podcast of record, and more specifically the sound board.  WE RIDE AT DAWN 'FRO FAITHFUL!

Fear the 'Fro celebrates the Cavs victory over the Sixers, as Donovan Mitchell gives us another MVP-level scoring display.  Multiple players stepped up including Jarrett Allen and Sam Merrill, fresh off the injury report.  Sophomore Jaylon Tyson put forth another strong outing, and the Cavaliers offense showed glimpses of it's once dominant form.

Woof.  That was a less than optimal display of basketball by the Cavs, but let Bob cheer you up with some postgame reactions to what the Cavs did, what the Celtics did, and what those monsters over at the Junkyard Pod did.  

The Cavs have opened the season with a loss.  Cleveland fell to New York at Madison Square Garden, as Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell combined for 53 points, but were let down by the defense.  Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, hits the highlights and the lowlights before the Cavs regroup for a Friday matchup with Brooklyn.

The preseason is done.  The regular season is here.  Bob fires up the Fear the 'Fro mailbag at cavspod.com and recaps the preseason.  We go over what the takeaways should be for Cavs preseason hoops.  Plus we talk about the final 2-way spot, and what players the Cavs might be interested in filling the third 2-way with.

Fear the 'Fro is ready for the real hoops.  Preseason kicks off with a familiar preseason foe, the Chicago Bulls.  Joining Bob to breakdown the squads and revisit expectations for Lonzo and Isaac Okoro is Big Dave, of the CHGO Bulls Podcast.  Plus, a conversation on the disaster that is the restricted free agency system.
