The season is ramping up which means all the analysts have started to ask the big question– do the Cleveland Cavaliers have a shot at a repeat? This week, El and Al try to answer that question with their unique brand of analysis.

First, they discuss whether or not the King is in top form, ready to lead his team to another championship using rigorous basketball analytics like his locker room clean up, his speech at the Indians game, and his presence at his son’s recent sleepover.

They also do some Instagram detective work to determine whether or not JR is likely to sign with Cleveland and evaluate the role players’ Twitter game to give Coach Lue some advice on filling out those final two roster spots. Hard hitting, objective basketball reporting here folks!

An episode of The Replay wouldn’t be complete without a game, so El quizzes Al with some Cleveland related facts in the soon-to-be viral game “Cleveland or Nah.” As always, if you enjoyed the pod, and I am sure you did, be sure to download and rate it five stars!
