While you weren’t paying attention, 2 of Cleveland’s best athletes got ADORABLE new puppies

First up is Kyrie Irving and his new German Shepard (I think) puppy named Drew. After Uncle Drew, duh. O my God I can’t even deal with this right now. Too fucking cute. After Kyrie bought Boobie Gibson’s old house, he needed someone to take Keyshia Cole’s place and lil Drew is more than willing to fill that void. He’ll probably even be cleaner that Keyshia was too. (was that a cheap Keyshia Cole joke? Yes. Yes it was)

And this is Josh Gordon’s new pup. Look at this little devil. Who cares about being a Pro Bowl wide receiver and leading the NFL in receiving yards, Josh Gordon is gonna pull all the ladies with his sidekick Bonnie right here. I mean, look at this face:

I have a feeling him and Swagger are gonna grow up to be best buds. Bonnie is gonna fit in quite nicely with the Dawg Pound.

Which leads me to my next question- can me, Kyrie, and Josh PLEASE have a puppy play date? I’ll bring Bodhi… Drew, Bonnie, and Bodhi. The Three Musketeers.

PS: This is what makes us different. Other sports blogs will dissect every one of Brian Hoyer’s passes till they’re blue in the face. We’ll swoon over Cleveland athlete’s dogs. Dogs > Stats. End of discussion.

Bottlegate Exclusive: Watch Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love freestyle rap in Brazil

`

Wait a second. Did Bottlegate just get an exclusive? A reader sent in some video of Kyrie and K-Love rapping, we put a track over it, and VOILA- Billboard #1 single.

Love it. Uncle Drew and Wes together spitting hot fire in the back of a cab in Brazil. Get LeBron in there and you have the most talented 3 man vocal group in the eastern hemisphere.

20 days till the season opener.

The Cavs preseason intro video will give you a Cleveland boner

A nice ode to the 2008-2009 season with the Jeezy music.

Here’s the ’08-’09 verson:

Let’s compare the two:

08-09 roster (in order of appearance)

  • LeBron James (decent player)
  • Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Cavs hall of famer, 2x all star)
  • Terrance Kinsey (who?)
  • Wally Sczerbiak (good looking white guy who could shoot)
  • Delonte West (had an affinity for moms or something)
  • Lorenzen Wright (12x NBA all star)
  • JJ Hickson (broken jump shot)
  • Mo Williams (decent, choked in the playoffs)
  • Ben Wallace (great defender, skills diminished while in Cleveland)
  • Sasha Pavlovic (bum)
  • Darnell Jackson (umm..played at Kansas?)
  • Anderson Varejao (the Wild thing, fan favorite)
  • Jawad Williams (saw him on West 6th one night)
  • Boobie Gibson (parlayed 1 good ECF game into a fat contract, married a nice, proper, professional young woman)

2014 Intro Video roster

  • Kyrie Irving (2x all star, All star MVP, FIBA world championship MVP)
  • Dion Waiters (4th pick in 2012 NBA draft)
  • Kevin Love (too many accolades to list. really really good)
  • Anderson Varejao (one of 2 players from the 08-09 team)
  • Mike Miller (deadly 3 point shooter)
  • Brendan Haywood (serviceable big man)
  • LeBron James (has blossomed into an above average player)
  • James Jones (3 point champ in 2011)
  • Joe Harris (good looking white rookie from Virginia)
  • Matthew Dellavedova (Aussie hustle)
  • Shawn Marion (4x NBA all star)
  • Tristan Thompson (selected 4th in 2011 NBA draft)
  • Ray Allen (soon)

Incredible. The fact that the 2008-2009 team went 66-16 may be the biggest miracle in sports history. Look at that squad! Compare the two rosters and it’s honestly hard to see the Cavs finishing below 70 wins this season. Vegas has the OVER/UNDER on Cavs wins this season set at 58.5. Here’s a little Bottlegate advice for you- HAMMER the over and thank me later while we’re Scrooge McDucking into our riches.

PS- The second all of our posts go live, they’re posted HERE. We’re fun I swear.

PPS- If someone doesn’t buy me this Kevin Love shirt, then I have lost faith in all of our readers
