Comedian Ryne DiPerna is a Cavs super fan, fantasy sports boy, and a gambling degenerate. He also joins me on today's show to talk some NBA Finals and Cleveland sports.

The Cavs have exterminated the Raptors for the third year in a row. What now? A look back on the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, a look ahead to the Boston Celtics, and sympathizing with Toronto fans. Cavs fans know far too well the feeling of being destroyed by a generational talent in the playoffs every year, there's no malice here. Unlike those 90s Cavs though, there's no one on this Raptors team as good as Mark Price. Where can they go from here? Also: Chris is a prognosticator, the New Orle...

The Cavs finally win in convincing fashion and all anyone cares about is Kyrie's MVP candidacy! Ball movement is king, big markets reign supreme, and the Cavs are starting to gel on today's pod. I get deep into the changing perception of Kyrie's career. Despite leaving the Cavs, it seems his destiny is forever intertwined with Cleveland and LeBron James.

The Cavs are down 0-2 in the NBA Finals, but it seems a bit different this year. Could it be the Warriors added an MVP to their 73 win team? Maybe.
