Description

The defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers (wow that's a weird phrase to type) return with a unique challenge on their hands: how do they stay motivated when they're the clear favorite in the East and can turn it on whenever they want?

Chris Manning, an editor at Fear the Sword and the Locked On Cavaliers podcast, joins the show to run through his emotions after that Game 7 victory, dissect the offseason moves, ponder Kevin Love's fit on the team and wonder what sort of approach LeBron James will take to the regular season after an NBA Finals for the ages.
