Fear The Sword

yes, tigger is going to play tonight.

Back in a playoff position after this win, right?

It’s deer season. And yes, we are gunning for an 8th seed buck.

Oh, great. If we hold this spot we get to get our asses handed to us by the Heat or the Bulls.

Bleh.

I can’t pull for a loss, so no reason to hold back cheering.

This is a very awkward position as a fan. Of course I don’t want to root for the Cavs to lose, but I want a lottery pick and I sure as hell don’t want to catch the Heat or Bulls in round one. I guess my biggest hope is for them to make moves like trading veterans and playing young guys that will cause the team to lose a lot of games, but still get in good experience for the future.

I’m taking it as a win-win. Either our rookies gel/are better than we thought and we get an 8th, or we get another lottery pick. Not bad, especially if this draft is as deep as everyone hopes.

You guys know the deal. I’m stuck at work on a Friday night…again. Be my eyes.

My 20/900 at your command, Conrad

The Celtics are currently getting HOUSED by the Raptors. 25-9

up 2-0…CHAMPIONSHIP

4-0? SHUTOUT

Wow, this is a beatdown.

Not a bad start, I guess.

Holy cow!

When’s the last time we ever started out 13-2? The Lakers couldn’t keep up with these guys, and here we come and we’re kicking their butts?

WaveOcean - February 10, 2012 reply

Bucks have beaten Miami twice!

This would happen while my video is down

Or while I’m at work.

Yeah, me too. My usual site has been seized by the monkeys in suits…trying to find another. :(

PurpleLoco - February 10, 2012 reply

Same, except I found another. Email me if you need it.

I hit you up, thanks!

cue stupid articles “ARE THE CAVS BETTER WITHOUT KYRIE IRVING?”

Stupid because the answer is an obvious YES /sarc

Yeah! We are! Anyone want Irving? Give us Tony Parker, Kevin Love, and Al Jefferson. Check please!

WaveOcean - February 10, 2012 reply

Casspi has 9 points and Jamison has 5 boards. MAYANS

THE END IS NEAR

Couldn’t get this done without you, Gooden. Well, we could, but it would be a lot harder.

WaveOcean - February 10, 2012 reply

yeah, Gooden is terribad.

Nice to see the Cavs choke away this big lead.

Boo at us not winning by double digits.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

so did we ever figure out how the hell Kyrie got his concussion?

Back of his head off Wade’s knee in the Miami game. In other words, LeBron’s fault

Always LeBrons fault.

Alright. I’m actually glad that this was from an impact and it (hopefully) shouldn’t be a sign of things to come. It would suck if he was concussion prone throughout his entire career.

It also might give him a chance to rest up and come back fresher

This is embarrassing. 13-2 to losing.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

It was actually 17-2, I believe.

SKYENGA? (according to Twitter)

HAMMER SMASH

tigger!!!!

beanjames - February 10, 2012 reply

Steal into smash? My internet is skipping

Y’all need to buy League Pass..

SBNation should buy its writers league pass! Cannot find a stream!

I’m watching Knicks-Lakers if anyone wants to talk about LINSANITY

Ugh

Hahaha. More hype than Kyrie has gotten all season long.

I don’t want Kyrie to get the hype.

lin ,i dont think it’s just hype he’s having another big game tonight.

beanjames - February 10, 2012 reply

The Bobcats blow.

This is a fact.

Someone tell me what’s happening! Are we up?

At least track it on gamecast haha

-3

Gee just tied it at 35.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

We’re tied 35-35 7:00 left in the 2nd

Gut feelings: do we win tonight?

Yes.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Yeppers

GEE

Jeremy Lin is torching the Lakers…wow

That’s good news for my fantasy team.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Second in the NBA in PER!!!!

(pay no attention to the sample size)

Question: is Gee the 3rd best player on this team?

4th. Sessions is better.

Shoot. Jamison. He’s 5th!

I’m going to take heat for this, but I don’t care.

He’s worse than Jamison?

Irving, Varejao, Sessions, Jamison, Gee in that order.

I know, I got that. I just dont know if I agree that Jamison is better. Havent given it much thought.

I very much want to overreact to how much I like Gee and say he’s 3, but I can’t do it yet.

I agree that Sessions is better though.

As much as I like Gee, his rebounding is as bad as Jamo’s Defense. For a guy with his ups, that shouldn’t happen.

Gibson at 6?

Gibson or Tigger, probably.

I’d probably agree with that.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Trade Sessions and use that pick for a wing, and that’s not a bad team. Assuming Tigger can improve and score some of Jamison’s points.

http://www.fearthesword.com/2012/2/9/2777797/drafting-anything-but-a-talented-wing-this-summer-is-a-massive-mistake

Yep

I’m taking Drummond 4th if he’s there.

That was the stupidest thing to ever happen in basketball. Why the fuck would you lob it to half court with 4+ seconds left?! Christ my head hurts.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Boo3ie

Sessions is killing it (according to stats). He’s definitely getting traded

Already 10 dimes for Sessions. Irving doesnt have 10 in a game yet.

And people still want to trade him for something in the 20’s. Ludicrous!!!!

I still will.

What reason do we have for keeping him around? He’s not going to be a Cav next season. Might as well get some value for him, and allow him to go to a team that has a chance at winning something.

C.b.I - February 10, 2012 reply

I underestimated us at 23-43, and I was the highest writer prediction.

Yup.

And that was dumb.

mmhm

O is keeping us in it. Of course, most of the shots I have had video for have been smart shots. So, keep hitting open looks and turn up the D, we should hang on.

If we get the 4th pick or better in the draft, we are getting a player that I will be ecstatic about.

That is soooo unlikely though. But if we did we’d jump easily to the top ten in the future power rankings.

I think we’ll get worse though. I dont expect us to hang right near .500 for very much longer.

Maybe after this homestand.

After tonight, I think we’re looking at 3 straight losses.

Even if we go 10-31 (worst case scenario in an extremely negative projection), we’re still going to be slotted around 8 come lottery time.

This is true. I looked at the schedule and we probably have 12 or 13 more wins at least. Everything changes if we trade important pieces or get injuries.

The elephant in the room is to get a Top 3 ish pick someone needs to go down or Jamison needs to get traded. I think shipping him out would cause a much bigger drop off than dealing Sessions.

It would. Trading Varejao for a lottery pick would be ideal, honestly.

I thinks its more likely a team in the playoff hunt gives us their 1st this year, then miss the playoffs, ala the Jiri Welch debacle.

And for Jamison or Sessions, not Andy

Sure, but the trades wants don’t match up with those teams. Teams who want Andy are all going to be contending teams, not teams drafting in the top 10.

I know. I’m not saying it’ll happen, just that it would be ideal.

Current odds: 1.6ish%

When Sessions gets traded for a mid to late first rounder, we will have to have 2 analysis posts about it. One from me and one from John. We will then have a battle royale to decide who is right.

Who’s taking which side?

Someone hasn’t been paying close attention to us.

Tonight? I just got here.

No, over the last month. But I wouldn’t expect anyone to know. But each of us do have a side, we don’t have to “pick” one.

I think Sessions for a mid 1st this year is a great idea.

This guy gets it.

Of course, I don’t know how much a mid 1st and a late lottery can be parlayed to move up

No need to move up. We can get a solid player that late in this draft. Terrance Jones, Quincy Miller, James McAdoo

Deep drafts are just great while rebuilding. Last year, a mid first couldn’t get you shit. This year, it’s completely different.

I’d love to have that Kings pick this year. Unfortunately they are the Kings and can’t win enough to give it to us.

But if we could move up….

(Hint: I will be right)

If I lose I’m claiming it was boss bias!

Jamison is hot right now.

kptb - February 10, 2012 reply

Jamison has 9 points and has drawn 2 fouls. Some quarter.

14 and 3

Jamison 27 and going strong

kptb - February 10, 2012 reply

He’s nearing imaginary numbers at this point

Math/Acct major. Someone is talking my language. Nice.

English major! We really are rivals.

You both have Descarte

The opposite of Night Hawk and Dragon.

I do have a new guy possibly coming on to join us though. I also have an idea for the two of you (if he joins) for after each game.

Alrighty

Will obviously email you and such once I have it figured out.

BOO! SCIENCE RULES

If Jamo’s offense this game was a limit, it’d be approaching infinity.

Don’t you mean LINFINITY?

Jamison = 1/x

His inverse is himself

Rough shooting night for Ramon? 3 of 10?

13 asts in 27 mins makes up for it, though

Tawn’s trade value is skyrocketing.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Ditto Sessions.

TRADE THEM BOTH

Keep Andy. Ship out Tawn and Ramon.

DO IT UPPP

Holy cow!
DOUBLE TECH

Varejao done for the night with a sprained wrist? Oh boy.

Who was it that called Gody Jamisons white peg today? That was awesome.

Varejao has a sprained wrist, xrays are negative. Will not return.

Gift, not a curse.

Can someone explain to me why Leuer doesn’t play more?

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

All my college teammates played him in HS! I have no real answer though, maybe Drew Gooden’s contract?

Why do we keep playing Hollins?
Guess for both: Coaches seeing something in practice

We play Hollins because the alternative is Erden

The Bucks are dumb?

Take your time coming back fromt he wrist injury, Andy.

If he’s out for multiple games, we could be in for a couple god awful performances.

That’s fine.

Decent little game back that Tigger’s having. Not much offense but good defense.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

14 dimes is a Cavs season high

Haha, totally forgot I have league pass on my iphone. Watching it now.

Turnovers and giving up open layups. Fuck I’m livid.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Just for Alex I’m going to announce this publicly and take one on the chin.. Ray Ray went 3/8 and only had 6 points tonight. But I still have my suffocating love for him.

ahahaha

haha +1

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Stupid foul.

Goodness, Jamison is a beast

If I could front page that comment, I would.

Neutral on Jennings but can’t hate on any lefty other than Mauer and Morneau.

Speaking of lefties…Harden should have been an all star.

Lefty + beard = watch out Ray (not really though).

He’s better than Ray now.

Deshaun Thomas. Real talk.

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

Rec for your effort tonight.

I will check later. Need all of internet for video feed

Tiggermania!!

ahowie - February 10, 2012 via Android app reply

6 in a row, missed 1, then made 5

Anyone wondering what Andy brings, check out our interior D this quarter.

Or… 2010-2011…

There was basketball that year? I have no memories of such events.

Samesies.

Please read this. The piggyback bandit jumped on my brother’s back last Saturday. So freaking creepy.

Bingo..

Shayegan reportedly was folding warmup shirts and tried passing out water to players. Mueller said that at one point he began rubbing the necks of some St. Mary’s players. After the game, Shayegan jumped on the back of one Saints player and at least one Century player.

Ouch..

TAWN

Tristan is good at jumping

I want overtime, I’m bored.

Nice.
