Cavs Thursday Game Tape… for a scrimmage. Get ready for Showtime.

So the Cavs had a little intrasquad pick up game last night. It was attended by a few Cleveland fans. And when I say a few fans I mean it was attended by more fans than what 50% of the other teams in the league average per home game. A few 17,000-plus fans packed the Q to watch Kevin Love, Kyrie, Lebron, and Co. put on a nice little dazzling performance and showed what they’re capable of looking like this season.

“But Mike it was only a scrimmage, why are you posting a Game Tape?”

Because when you have a championship caliber team in a city starving for a championship, we’re going to post everything they do. Bottlegate is gonna cover the SHIT out of the Cavs this season.

If you don’t get chills hearing “ST VINCENT ST MARY!!” then you’re probably a robot.

GOOOOD LUCK guarding Kyrie this year. Good freaking luck.

I have a feeling Dion is gonna make around 700 three pointers this year. And that may be an understatement.

Think we’ll score a couple baskets in transition this season? I think so.

OH HELL YEAH

Sweet video the NBA put out

The new floor is an absolute 12/10.

Fucking awesome.

Get ready for Showtime.

PS- This was supposed to be a 10 am post but yesterday was my birthday and I spent all night at the vet because my dog had a blocked intestine. Happy 26th I guess.

Everyone on the internet is wondering what happened to Lebron’s hairline. The answer is so incredibly obvious.

At his shoe reveal 2 weeks ago

Practice from this weekend. Where’d his hair go?

After practice today

Everyone and their sister is freaking out about Lebron’s hairline today. “Did Lebron get hairplugs?” “What happened to Lebron’s hairplugs?” “Is Lebron painting his head to look like he has hair?” Blah blah blah blah. The answer to the Lebron hairline riddle is so obvious it’s not even funny.

Let me set the scene: Saturday night after the Cavs first practice LeBron probably had his new teammates over to celebrate the start of a successful season. The beer and liquor started flowing. They were probably watching the Notre Dame-Syracuse game and every time Notre Dame scored, everyone would take a shot. The shots were pouring at a breakneck pace. Everyone was having a great time.

Now it’s been well documented that LeBron lost a lot of weight this season. Because of his weight loss, he’s unable to process alcohol like he used to. Since he was doing shot after shot he most likely passed out early at the party. Following LeBron’s house rules, his teammates (led by Mike Miller because he seems like the type) thought it’d be HILARIOUS to shave some of LeBron’s hair while he was passed out drunk. Can’t blame them one bit, they were only honoring House Rules. It was the noble thing to do.

We all had that one friend in high school that didn’t know how to drink and would get his hair cut or get an eyebrow shaved off every time he passed out drunk. That’s exactly the same thing that happened to LeBron here. If anything it’s just some team bonding and will only make the Cavs stronger in the long run. Building team camaraderie in September equals championships and trophies in June. Love it.

PS- How good was that Buzzfeed title of this post? Stay tuned later this week, “You won’t believe what happens next!”

Quick Recap of LeBron’s interview with CNN

September 25, 2014 Mike Leave a comment

Lebron sat down with Rachel Nichols and gave one of his first on air interviews since he announced his decision to come back to Cleveland. The full version airs tomorrow on CNN. A couple things from this excerpt:

-LeBron has matured SO MUCH from when he went to Miami in 2010. He found out how hard it is to win and this time isn’t promising championships. I love that move even though he’s playing with a better overall team than he had in Miami. Underpromise and overdeliver. Thats a little Sales 101 for you here at Bottlegate.

– His hairline looks FANTASTIC. I’ll have whatever you’re having, dude.

– LeBron basically says that he would’ve stayed in Miami had the Heat beaten the Spurs in the NBA Finals and won back-to-back-to-back championships.

-Think about this for a second. What happens if the air conditioning in San Antonio doesn’t go out during game 1 of the finals? Imagine if Lebron never cramps up and it’s a whole different ballgame. Imagine if Miami wins that game and then goes on to win the whole series…. Just think about that. The whole NBA landscape is drastically different because of a faulty AT&T Arena air conditioning system. If that air conditioner just works like its supposed to Lebron never comes home; Kevin Love isn’t traded to the Cavs; the Heat probably sign another big name free agent; and Cleveland is stuck watching Anthony Bennett miss wide open layups. Holy shit.
