It's CLEVELAND WEEK here at The Old Man and The Three. That's right, we've got two interviews - one with All Star point guard, Darius Garland. Then our Coaching Series continues with head coach of The Cleveland Cavaliers, J.B. Bickerstaff. This is an AWESOME episode, folks. Topics include: Darius on the ceiling for this year's Cavs team, the adjustments he's had to make playing with Donovan Mitchell, how much he's grown since his rookie year, whether being named an All Star matters to him, getting humbled by Elfrid Payton during his "WELCOME TO THE NBA MOMENT", marveling at LeBron James, Donovan Mitchell's 71 point gameand so much more. Then we get to The Coaching Series with J.B. Bickerstaff. Topics include: his philosophy on coaching, how he's handled taking over as head coach for so many teams, coaching with his father, how he's made sure Darius and Donovan Mitchell gel together, finding a new motivation for Kevin Love, The Cavs culture since LeBron James has left and we ask him about his experience watching Donovan Mitchell's 71 point game.
