I can’t take Whiplash seriously because the premise is flawed; you don’t get good as a jazz drummer by becoming a human metronome. The whole thing has a cartoon model of musical excellence. Maybe it should’ve been a movie about sports instead
yo Andrew Luck is just going to retire like that? With no warning at age 29, right before the season starts? I hope he sees this video, I speak for EVERY
#Colts
fan
The leaks from the Celtics about Kyrie when he leaves are gonna be LEGENDARY
These dudes leaked about ISAIAH THOMAS when THEY traded HIM
Knives gonna be OUT
DOLAN: So you’re saying I need to isolate for the next 6 years? And I can’t have my phone? That doesn’t sound right
DOCTOR WHO HAS KNICKS SEASON TICKETS: Yeah sorry that’s what the chart says
pretty wild that if Laura Ingraham had her way, LeBron James wouldn't have opened up a WHOLE ASS SCHOOL for kids who need it the most
Just shut up and dribble my ass
I wouldn’t say I’m relishing that Kyrie and LeBron left for what they thought were greener pastures and it’s going hilariously wrong for two very smug fan bases
I am relishing it, I just wouldn’t say it
Rumors: The Pelicans have reached out to the Celtics seeking promises on specific packages for Anthony Davis.
The Celtics have reportedly made it clear that no one is off limits and that it will be worth the wait
Let me reiterate
Evan Mobley just put up 26-9-5 on 11-15 shooting while anchoring the defense and playing significant minutes at the top of a 3-2 zone
This kid is special special special
Legit don’t think anybody young started going at MJ until older folks started lying to them about how infallible he was while attacking LBJ at every turn
Folks that are fans of LeBron as GOAT tend to acknowledge that there’s a debate
Jordan fans will laugh in your face
what makes the bron/jordan discussion so weird, to me, is the crazy vitriol the younger people have those older than them. the disagreement makes sense. it's the level of dismissal that's kinda wild.
The Cavs are about to hire their sixth coach in seven seasons.
In four of those seven seasons, they made the NBA EFFING FINALS
That’s dysfunction baked right into the DNA of a franchise, rain or shine
Lots of people are angry about this, and for poor people, yeah, it makes sense.
With that said: Aren't there studies that show that people's happiness doesn't rise with more money past sustainability and security (like 70K in the midwest)?
Kevin Love has played 2 games
Darius Garland has played 6
Collin Sexton has played 9
Isaac Okoro has played 9
The fact that the Cavaliers are .500 despite the second-most games lost to injury in the whole league, with most injuries to primary players, is BANANAS
The Suns have had Devin Booker for 44 games and this year's
#1
overall pick playing alongside last year's
#4
pick and they still have less wins than the Cavaliers
That shit is depressing
I have never been more wrong about a player than Collin Sexton
The Cavs are betting on the hardest workers in the room and it’s starting to pay off in the shape of high effort and ceilings being hit
guys it is the best piece of sports related video i've ever seen produced and i don't know what's in second place
i wish TNT updated it every single year because it's so wonderful
Mobley was absolutely bananas against Indy. I thought his road to 20 point nights early in his career was going to be a healthy diet of lobs and duckins
Not roasting Myles Turner in the post and off the dribble
I can't even start with how many things are funny about this
- Vowed to shut down OFFENSIVE SUPERSTAR RICKY RUBIO
- Allowed RICKY RUBIO to go off in the first place
- ESPN makes badass highlight package of a defensive performance in a 17-point loss
This is amazing
Every single team around the Cavs in the standings lost tonight except for the Cavs
This fuckin team is 1.5 games out of FIRST PLACE past the halfway mark of the season
This is UNFATHOMABLE
Draymond-KD feud is like when your girl gets on you for something small and you way overreact with some shit that's been festering for 2 years
"God, the dishes are piling up. I asked you to do them last week."
"WELL YOU'RE RUDE TO MY PARENTS SO WHAT'S UP WITH THAT"
Unsure if people know how rare it is for an on-air talent to be funny and educational AND concise while doing this kind of work
Jalen is such an impressive talent, would love to get to work with him as a producer
I gotta say
Just feeling SAD about the Cavs season. They were 0.5 games out of the 1 seed like a week before All-Star.
Then Darius got hurt. And Caris. And Allen. Now Mobley.
Right as every team around therm’s season took off, they’ve collapsed under the weight of it.
Serena rightly getting her flowers for this badass moment
Cavs fans are lucky to have her on the sideline, one of the best in the biz. She really ought to be getting national work sooner rather than later.
Grayson Allen got the role player confidence you only get from blueblood college stars
THAT dude isn't ever gonna be shook, he was the most hated man in the country for 3 years
Boy, no better example of: If you think you're a title contender, throw caution to the wind and trade for that super-duperstar.
If Kawhi walks this summer, the trade was still worth it. The goal is to win a championship. The Raptors are closer than they've ever been
Love this picture from
@jimmylongojr
so much. Cavs storming back, Rubio draws a CLEAR charge and Cedi and Darius basically swarm him to keep him from picking up a tech
Ricky is furious while Cedi and Darius are basking in how much fun the run is
Magic have Isaac matched up on Allen, Suggs on Garland. No switch on the first screen. Allen with a DHO to Mitchell and Orlando switches. Cavs doing a good job of continuing to work. Garland pins and Strus gets a handoff for 3.
12 of the Cavs 17 wins have been by double digits. Only 5 of their 12 losses have been by double digits.
A reminder that they have played the hardest schedule in the NBA.
How is this a shooting foul? J.B. Bickerstaff’s challenge should have been successful, therefore not giving the Hawks three free throws *and* allowing the Cavs to keep their final timeout.
I’m not sure I expected the Cavs to be able to win an NBA basketball game while missing:
Darius Garland
Collin Sexton
Ricky Rubio
Isaac Okoro
Cedi Osman
But here we are. Hopefully Garland and Rondo can suit up Tuesday
The Cavs do not have a single player averaging 20 PPG. The only other teams that can say that:
- Orlando
- Houston
- San Antonio
- New York
- Indiana
The fact that this team is 11 games over .500 while every other team isn’t even in the play in is ridiculous
The flak Windhorst gets on this website and in real life actively bothers me quite a bit
A consummate professional, super nice by all accounts, and people act like he's Chris Sheridan or some other hack.
It's annoying as hell.
No disrespect to Ramona Shelburne’s piece, but I’m sort of done reading stories where NBA players pretend they magically stumbled into decisions together a day before free agency was set to open
Cavs have been favored in 1 game so far this season.
They've played 2 games against teams that were not Playoff/Play-In teams.
8 of 14 on the road, with 2 of their 6 home games being on second half of back-to-backs.
They're down 3 rotation players (2 starters).
They're 9-5.
By the way, LeBron fans should probably wait to bump their chest about the inherent weirdness of Jordan producing his own hero worship documentary
Because if LeBron ever does something like this, he's going to be 750% more insufferable in terms of the control he exerts
Was just saying this in a DM - I’ve found myself more and more attracted to the Ringer’s content because in an increasingly bleary world, their motto seems to be:
“We like stuff! Let’s talk about that!”
It takes a real POS to be actively disrespectful to somebody and tell them they don't deserve a voice in a cynical attempt to bait them into coming onto your show in a gross way to generate traffic for your stupid television show
I would like to reiterate that Kevin Durant ruined what was going to be the greatest rivalry in NBA history and I'm still more sad about that than anything else about the Cavs situation
The Cavaliers are now outscoring opponents by 1.1 points per 100 possessions when LeBron sits this year.
Last year, the Cavs were outscored by 8.5 points per 100 possessions when LeBron sat.
