If you’re like me, you ate a leftover $5 donut because it’s the day after your birthday and you are incredibly entertained by the proverbial wheels falling off the Cavaliers. What can I say? In the absence of success for my favorite team, schadenfreude is all I have left.

On the latest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast, we wonder what is the final landing spot for Cleveland’s tailspin and look at all the other stories fit to mention from the last week in the NBA, including:

  • Based on how strong they’ve looked so far, what are the postseason expectations for the Rockets?
  • Which teams are starting the wrong players?
  • Does Greg Monroe going to the Celtics cement them as the favorites in the Eastern Conference?
  • Does Dennis Smith Jr. need a break or are the Mavericks just starting to embrace the tank?
  • Which is the more intriguing team, the Nuggets or Jazz?
  • If you were starting a franchise, would you rather have Donovan Mitchell, Jamal Murray or Devin Booker?
  • What can we learn about DeMarcus Cousins from watching the Pelicans now that he is no longer playing?
  • Is there more than meets the eye to the story of Red Panda having her beloved unicycle stolen?

And also, you know, lots of trade deadline rumors and stuff.
