I had previously held the opinion that Tristan Thompson and new arrival Andre Drummond would not be able to coexist due to their dramatically overlapping skillsets. Both of them are primarily inside operators whose value comes from tenacious rebounding and lots of hustle points inside. Neither is known as an especially skilled scorer from outside…

Remember when LeBron helped Tristan Thompson get that gigantic contract a few years ago? The one where they shared an agent so the Cavs had to pay Thompson in order to keep LeBron happy? I had been operating under the assumption that Thompson’s huge contract was just going to continue forever, with the Cavaliers paying…

Okay Tristan Thompson, you’ve had your fun, you scored 35 in one game then manhandled “MVP candidate” Nikola Jokic in a big win on the road in the next, now it’s time to take a step back. Maybe feign an injury, maybe really get an injury, all I know is, it’s time for John Henson…

I have had to make way too many Tristan Thompson highlight videos to start the season. This is the fourth one and we’re only seven games into the season; for comparison, I made just five of them all of last season (including playoffs [LOL (lots of laughs [the Cavaliers didn’t make the playoffs that’s why…

I figure that, just like people have sexual fetishes, people also have “highlights fetishes” which dictate what kind of highlight videos they enjoy watching. Some people like to watch smooth scorers, some people like to watch lockdown defenders, some people like to watch gritty hustle players, some people like to watch three-point specialists, etc., etc….
