If we have to sacrifice a pair of testicles every game for a win then I’m 100% fine with that. The Bench Bunch better know their role. You do whatever it takes to win and if that’s a punch to the nuts, then so be it. That’s the definition of a team. Putting the good of others before yourself and taking a shot to the dick every now and then.
Hey Mike, I’m more worried about the balls that you’re shooting instead of the ones you’re grabbing. And besides, that’s the best shot Delly’s had all year.
I’ve seen some people say that was a shot to the stomach. No sir, a simple shot to the stomach doesn’t elicit this type of reaction.
Wow. Well how about that ride in? In a game where LeBron was out, LaMarcus Aldridge was en fuego, and the rest of the players on the Cavaliers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, Kyrie Irving showed up in a big big big way. Career high w/55 points. Cavs record for 3 pointers in a game. All of this capped off by a DAGGER 3 pointer over Nicholas Batum to win the game. Just an unreal performance from Uncle Drew. He also started the game off 0-7 which makes this performance even more unbelievable.
So the Cavs sit at 27-20 and are winners of 8 in a row. All of the BS talk of firing David Blatt has subsided and the team finally looks like they’re starting to gel. All of this comes at the heels of the subtraction of Dion Waiters and the additions of Timofey Mozgov, JR Smith, and Iman Shumpert… whom I’m officially nicknaming the “Holy Trinity.”
I’ve maintained my stance that I don’t care how the team looks in December/January/February, I only care that they start to hit their stride in March/April/May. If LeBron wants to sit out a couple more games, then so be it. Sit out all you want, bro. As they showed last night, this team is good enough to win without LeBron.
Let’s look at some game tape
1st thing- The guy from the Mentor Nissan commercial looks EXACTLY like Joey Fatone from NSYNC
Mozgov gave ’em the Oopty Oop
Kyrie did LaMarcus Aldridge so so so dirty right here
Ballgame
LeBron looked pretty excited after that shot
And here you go, check out the highlight video the NBA released. Filthy. Just filthy.
At first glance it just seemed like LeBron was pushing Blatt out of the way so the coach wouldn’t get a technical. A couple more loops through and I’m not sure. That extra “oomf” at the end seems a little unnecessary, no? Maybe I’m just an idiot trying to look into something that’s not there? That’s probably it.
It certainly seems like this will morph into a way bigger deal than when LeBron “ran into” Spoelstra in Miami. I’m sure this’ll be blown out of proportion just like when LeBron told D-Wade they were going to be reunited after their Christmas Day game.
Twitter of course went nuts and people were “outraged.” I don’t know, man. I just don’t know.
Whatever, can’t wait to NOT watch ESPN when Skip and Stephen A spend 80 minutes looking into this.
The internet, of course, did its thing
“That moment when J.R. Smith finds out you can push your coach without consequence… “
This would be a complete non-story if the Cavs were say, 30-8
