You can tell the Cavaliers commentators are desperate for any signs of life out of the Cavaliers in general and J.R. Smith in particular. They’ve watched their team completely implode, they know the drama that surrounds LeBron and his cadre of overpaid role-player teammates, and they’ve sat through a few seasons of Smith bricks. Their…

Channing Frye 20 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
Okay. So Kevin Love is out for the next six to eight weeks with a broken hand (something that nobody in the locker room can accuse him of faking). This is the perfect time to test a hypothesis which I have hypothesized for some time now: Channing Frye can give you everything Kevin Love does,…
Read MoreJ.R. Smith 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/26/2018)
The Cavaliers have all sorts of problems right now. You already know this. If you’ve been paying attention to the NBA at all, you basically can’t avoid the drama. Having watched the NBA for the last few years, you know that they’re still gonna make the Finals somehow, but it’s fun to see how close…
Read MoreJeff Green 22 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Jeff Green points last night: 22. Cavaliers starters’ points last night: 28. Now, I’m definitely not trying to insinuate in any way that Jeff Green is better than the totality of the Cavs’ starting unit, which includes All-Star caliber players like Kevin Lovestomissshots, LeBrick “LeBenched Blames” Shames, and Isaiah ThomAss. Jeff Green might be having…
Read MoreKyle Korver 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Kyle “Fourth-Quarter Clutch Master Supremo” Korver lived up to his nickname and was clutch in the fourth quarter tonight, scoring 14 of his 19 points. Problem was, LeBenched Blames left him to try and make up a 31-point deficit. No amount of clutch shooting could’ve made up so many points, but being a good teammate…
Read MoreJeff Green 22 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2017)
Is it a coincidence that Jeff “Green Energy” Green starts playing the most efficient ball of his career as soon as he is teamed up with LeBron James? Trick question! Or, more like, obvious-answer question, because the answer to it is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be asked. This is just more evidence…
Read MoreCedi Osman 10 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2017)
There are so many jokes I could theoretically make combining Cedi Osman’s name (pronounced with a “J” sound) and Star Wars. A treasure trove of comedic puncraft. Problem is, I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars except for the first half of the first one, and I don’t remember even that little bit at…
Read MoreJose Calderon 17 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2017)
The Cavaliers are almost unbeatable with Jose Calderon as their starting point guard. The guy who was brought in as Derrick Rose insurance is acting as exactly that, providing solid minutes full of vet savvy and not using too much ball. On paper, he looks horrible. His defense, if it’s anything like years previous, is…
Read MoreJeff Green 17 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
My world has been thrown into a confused, swirling chaos. Why was Mike Fratello on the Cavaliers broadcast last night? It wasn’t a national game, the two normal dudes were still there (I call them “old white dude” and “dementia-addled black dude”), but then out of nowhere Mike Fratello starts commenting on plays like he’s…
Read MoreJose Calderon 14 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2017)
Toronto fans may have been annoyed at Jose Calderon by the end of his tenure with him because of his tendency to pound the ball, but man, that guy had some sick assist-to-turnover ratios early in his career. I’ve been watching the NBA forever and no one ever thought to tell me about this? He…
