https://youtu.be/41kBQHGzrkE If Andre Drummond hasn’t been told by the Cavaliers to just stop showing up to work and chill out at home instead, they should probably tell him pretty soon, because Jarrett Allen is absolutely BALLING the frick OUT right now and it’s making Drummond look bad. We already know that Drummond started developing a…

Jarrett Allen 26 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (2/21/2021)
https://youtu.be/zhzASSEwLLA If Andre Drummond hadn’t already been scratched from the lineup and openly put onto the trade market before this game, he definitely would have after it. Jarrett Allen’s dominant 26-point, 17-rebound effort with not a single missed shot to be found (he was 11-of-11) was spectacular enough that even the most backwards-thinking GM would…

https://youtu.be/ni4POkyUAMA Jarrett Allen walked into the locker room and was received with a chorus of whoops and cheers. While it was not as ecstatic a celebration as had certainly occurred in that locker room after higher-profile wins, and there were no impromptu Gatorade baths to be found, the assembled Cavaliers players made sure that Allen’s…
Read MoreCedi Osman 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2021)
https://youtu.be/m8dAUKtA4no Cedi Osman’s 25/7/7 statline from this game is somewhat reminiscent of the statlines of another great forward from Cleveland’s past. I’ll give you a minute to think about who I could be talking about here. Hint: it’s not Craig Ehlo. Hint 2: it’s not Alonzo Gee. Hint 3: It’s Bingo Smith. Bingo Smith played…

https://youtu.be/ltpQs8oYOlI There are things going on in Cleveland. Not as many things as were happening while LeBron James was around, but still: things. If the season ended right now (which is not as ridiculously unlikely during the COVID era as it would be during a “normal” season), the Cavaliers would be in their playoffs with…
Read MoreDarius Garland 21 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2020)
https://youtu.be/Vgu6khzRd0M When you think about up-and-coming guard duos in the NBA, what do you think of? Do you think of anything at all? I just started thinking about this as a fun thought exercise, and maybe I haven’t had enough Pop-Tarts this morning, but my brain is just completely unwilling to disgorge its list of…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. 19 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
New idea for timeout entertainment during Cavaliers games at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse: The Nance Cam! That’s it. That’s the extent of my idea. It’s basically the “Dance Cam”, a concept which is so popular that I’m not aware of any professional team (in any sport) that doesn’t use it, but it’s Larry Nance Jr.-themed….
Read MoreMatthew Dellavedova 14 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Matthew “Wacky Delly” Dellavedova had all of two points and a single assist in the first half of this game. It was looking to be just another statistically futile outing for Dellavedova, a player whose career has been the epitome of “statistically futile”. Then he took over the second half. And I don’t think I’m…
Read MoreCedi Osman 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Turkish players in the NBA haven’t been doing so well recently: Furkan Korkmaz, after those back-to-back 30-point games in early February, has gone 30-of-84 from the field right when when the Sixers, hit hard by the injuries to Simmons and Embiid, could use some more scoring. Ersan Ilyasova has partially fallen out of the rotation…
Read MoreMatthew Dellavedova 7 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
I guess this is a new experiment in Cleveland now: start Matthew “Wacky Delly” Dellavedova at the point guard position and shift Collin Sexton to shooting guard. Makes sense to me, given that Collin “Mr. 3 APG” Sexton is really just an undersized shooting guard forced to play PG for most of the year given…
