Great news for Cavs fans. Kendrick Perkins gives us that needed depth in the frontcourt and gives us a nasty force inside. Perk is one of those guys that if he’s not on your team you hate him, but if he’s on your team you absolutely love him. I HATED Perk when he was with Garnett and the Celtics playing the Cavs in the playoffs in LeBron’s first stint here.

Perkins is by far and away my most hated player in the NBA… he comes to the Cavs and he's in my top 10 favorites

He’ll add toughness and tons of playoff experience while providing a veteran presence to help our young guys out. The more I think about this and the more I type, I think Perk may be my new favorite player.

The best thing about adding someone like Perkins is he doesn’t take shit from NOBODY. Here are some of his past brush-ups with players currently on the Cavs.

1. Just blatantly decides to sit on Mike Miller while he’s down

You can’t watch the above video and not laugh

2. Kendrick Perkins rips LeBron James after LeBron tweeted about Blake Griffin dunking on Perk.

3. Just this year, Perk almost murdered JR Smith with a pick

I doubt this has any effect on the current Cavs but it’s funny to take a stroll down memory lane and see who Perk has pissed off in the past. Enjoy being a big man in the eastern conference and having to play Mozgov and Perkins in a 7 game series.

The Cavs bench had a priceless reaction to Kevin Love’s missed dunk

Nothing better than a good bench reaction during a basketball game whether it’s after a huge dunk, a Kyrie Irving crossover, or in this case a terrible Kevin Love missed dunk. If you’re going to do GQ spreads like this, you better be able take a joke… and by take a joke I mean have all of your teammates laugh directly at your face after one of the most unathletic plays of your career. Brendan Haywood had to turn away so Kevin wouldn’t see him laughing, that’s when you know it’s bad.

Don’t worry Kevin, I remixed it for you and added some music

On missed dunk by Kevin Love, called it a pogo stick. Was thinking up, but legs didn't cooperate. He's fine. "I set us back with that one."

Need Indians tickets or a dime bag? Call 216-420-HITS

So I’ll keep this one short and sweet. I just had it pointed out to me last night that the phone number for the Indians executive offices is 216-420-HITS and I’m absolutely fucking flabbergasted. It’s a number you hear ALL the time if you listen to games on the radio, or watch the games on TV, or follow them on any sort of social media. Basically, if at any point in your entire life you’ve paid one ounce of attention the Tribe, you’ve seen or heard this number read aloud a couple million times. I’m 24 years old, I’ve been a fan my whole life and I had to have it pointed out to me. Last night. By Mike. I’m actually embarrassed.

It’s not like this is a new thing either. Thanks to the Wayback Machine, we can be sure this has been the Indians phone number since at least 2007 (the oldest archive available of Indians.com). Chris Perez MAILED POT TO HIS OWN DOG in 2013 and I still never saw this phone number brought up. Absolutely stunning.

Seriously, why though? Hits are just things that happen in baseball. One of many, many things. Not specific to the Indians. In fact, most of the time, not at all specific to the Indians. Why not 216-420-BATS? 216-420-DIRT? 216-420-FANS? Just so many options and they went with literally the only four letter word in the English language that pertains to both baseball and smoking weed. I, for one, can’t believe it’s lasted this long. Maybe if those god damn Dolans would spend some money on PR talent they’d realize why they get a dozen calls a week from slow talkers in Colorado.
