Eh. He’s putting the ball in his best player’s hands. That’s more than you could have said of Blatt.

If they think this is no fun, wait til they have to play 82 games next year without lebron, and with whatever knicks players they can trade love for.

The rush to trade Kyrie was ridiculous. Yes he wanted out, but it was the middle of the summer. Take your time and get a much better deal from someone else.

spent much of the game yelling “you’re on the same team, idiots!”

I guess the bigger story is that they made some really shitty transactions in the summer (Isaiah, Wade, Rose) and then had to make some semi-shitty midseason trades to get out of them.

I’m a big fan of the second clip, where the other 4 cavs just abandon Korver in the low post, where he is clearly and undeniably overmatched, and then just stand around to rubberneck at the ensuing carnage.

J.R. Smith committed a “we’re down 3-0 and I’d like to get my vacation started” flagrant in a close Game 2. That was a deeply bogus play. Just throw this joyless Cavs team in the trash.

I love that first clip in the OP where JR stumbles around trying to get by Baynes while Rozier has enough time to take a nap before launching an uncontested 3, and then JR throws up his hands in outrage at the ref for some reason. You could, I don’t know, try going over the screen or something, instead of staying…

I’m not sure I believe that. They won the series but had the worst point differential of any series winner since 1984 (-40 points), and basically the only thing that carried them across the threshold was LeBron’s individual brilliance. From a 538 piece after the series ended:

Indeed. Watch Hill or Korver try to play on-the-ball defense against Rozier, Brown or Smart. Just token pressure until the blow-by. Then, the rest of this clown menagerie is too lazy to rotate and help. It’s agonizing.

It happened because without LeBron, the Cavs would be a lottery team.

on the contrary, let us never cease to refer to this franchise as the ‘tics.

2021, damn

Whereas if I got unintentionally Snoop-Dog-Level high before appearing at a televised roast, my whole set would be me crying and asking ‘AM I UNHINGED FROM TIME? IS THIS NOW? WHEN IS LATER? STOP LOOKING AT ME!”

Let me be clear: Solo has flaws. But those flaws pale in comparison to the rest of it. This may not be your favorite Star Wars movie, and it definitely won’t change what you think Star Wars can be. It will, however, remind you of everything you love about it and, hopefully, have you grinning like Han the first time…

Yeah, as an apparent Bay Area native, I find this response baffling. Flip-flops are fine anywhere other than your sister’s wedding. Or the Tenderloin.

So I can expect half the cast to turn to pixels and blow away this Friday night?

What is the worst minor annoyance?

Okay, first of all, fuck the Vikings! Drew is dead, I am your captain now, and I say you will root for the Raiders.

The real Process was the souls it destroyed along the way.
