After the Cavs’ 124-116 loss in Oklahoma City, Ken is convinced the veteran players are mutinying, pointing to James Harden jawing with Kenny Atkinson and the lack of effort. He lays out a firing timeline if the team looks listless against the Sixers and Knicks this weekend, while Lima argues Atkinson has two games to save his job. Along the way, Ken and Lima rip the “second half, played good basketball” postgame talk, joke about DAZN passwords and VPNs, and go off on banana ball.
Are the Cavs Trying to Get Kenny Atkinson Fired?
