In the beginning...

Welcome to The Bottom Up!

Over the next few days, we'll be releasing the first episode of our new Cavs centered NBA podcast. As avid Cleveland Cavaliers fans and die-hard NBA fans in general, Logan and I are thrilled to create what we hope will become standard weekly listening for Cavs fans and NBA fans across the country.

So, why are we calling this new podcast "The Bottom Up"?

First, "the bottom!" has become the go-to catch phrase for Cavaliers play-by-play man Fred McCleod when Kyrie Irving or another Cavalier hits a crunch time dagger. As Cavs fans we live for these moments, and when they happen Fred's call adds amazing energy. Chills, bro. Chills.

Second, "bottom up" captures a defining trait of Cleveland sports. Our teams are rarely the favorites and are rebuilding more often than not. The moments of success are bookended by season after season of disappointment. Yet, this underdog perspective makes being a Cleveland fan so rewarding. The challenge of the constant chase, and the hope that each new season brings is addicting. We've all said at one point or another that we'd never watch another game, that we were done with this team forever. But we're still here. We're still watching. We never left. We endure because we know that next moment of success will erase years of disappointment.
