With the Cavs down 0-2, the morning show opens the phone lines and the question is simple: is it time to pull the plug on James Harden's starting spot? Callers and hosts point to a damning stat — Harden had just three assists in 37 minutes while Dennis Schroeder had five in only 20 — as evidence that the offense completely stalls when Harden is on the floor. The crew debates whether Kenny Atkinson has the guts to go with the hot hand and bench Harden if he comes out slow in Game 3, while acknowledging the awkward reality that the Cavs are still counting on him to sign a two-year extension worth over $90 million.
