1. Get that Pistons logo out of there
2. Everyone that enters the game thread tonight should email Conrad to discuss Cavaliers basketball

Some guy did..it was a really long email and I answered. I appreciated it.

Yea, I’ve gotten some long ones from Lygafe and Keith lately but I’ve enjoyed that discussion very much as well.

Gustavo Ayon made Hollinger’s All-Lin Team yesterday.

Haha, wait what?

Go read his PER Diem from yesterday.

I literally forget to change the logo about 50% of the time

One more game, then I am officially in NASCAR mode.
Go Cavs!

NASCAR?? BOoooo

Worst sport in the world but I actually discuss in it an upcoming post! Hahaha

You discuss hockey?

Couldn’t name five players in the NHL. That’s kind of embarrassing, huh?

I might get 5. It’s the only major sport I don’t follow at all.

What? Did I approve this?

Go look at Monday. You’ll approve it.

Haha, I’m sure its fine

I think the extent of it is “Brad Daugherty now works in NASCAR.”

Jazz-Wolves and Hornets-Cavs on the agenda tonight. I love the NBA.

Erden should have just gone up with it

Will we score tonight?

lol jk, Kyrie’s got it

Jeesh, no one can shoot.

Worse nickname: Belly or Boobie?

Boobie is a great nickname,

Wrong.

Calling Boobie a bad nickname is just un-Cavalier.

Goose is worse than both.

I must admit I’ve never met someone named Gustavo… Has anyone?

What the hell did Byron get t’d up for?

I see we’re setting them up for a double digit comeback again

Personal favorite was the Celtics comeback.

Me too…because I was there =D

My next project is a 4 part series about why I think Erden-Hollins can be our front court of the future. And I cannot wait for you all to read it.

As long as you share whatever drugs you’re taking with the rest of us.

Boom. Roasted.

Really solid (read: terrible) first quarter.

New Orleans broadcast
(after Gee misses a 3)
Color Guy: That wasn’t Gee’s spot
Play-by-play: (snickers)

Fat Tuesday may still be with them.

Hahaha, I heard him say that but didn’t register it until now. Hilarious

Ugh. Hatteeeee when Kyrie plays SG

I thought we agree’d Kyrie + Sessions was a good thing

It’s not. I dislike it muchos

Absolutely love Irving and Sessions together. You must be thinking of an agreement with me.

One backing the other up, yeah. Side by side, not as much. The gears have been sticking lately.

Its a dunkfest!

Wow, I was on the verge of falling asleep. Gee and Tristan woke me up.

I think the Hornets’ announcers are drunk.

Extended Mardi Gras?

They are 7-25. Every night is probably Mardi Gras, to stave off the despair

Kyrie really needs to step up is his D.

Oh, I think I figured out how to rip videos off of League Pass, might be able to have a “Play Of The Game” feature soon.

As AC would say, Weak Sauce on that layup Kyrie.

“Gee golly whiz he slammed that home”

Sh*t Hornets broadcasters say…

I now have scientific backing to punch anyone who dislikes Austin Carr.

Tristan is a beast

When he gets as good defensive rebounding as he is at offensive rebounding he will be a monster.

How about shooting?

As long as he can get inside the paint tell him to take one step, jump, and dunk it.

That is an against class skill, so it will take much longer to level up.

I remember writing a couple weeks ago that Jamison hadn’t dunked once. I don’t know if that was his first but now at least I know he’s got one.

It was a monster too

It was a 4.5 on the Kaczmarek scale.

I did dunk against a bunch of old guys at the gym today.

How tall are you?

5’10" ish

You a decent player?

Pretty good..not great. Just rely on my athleticism a lot.

Jamison ON THE BLOCKS!

And now approximately 37 Jamison alcohol puns.

There are media rooms that have good hotdogs? Ive never experienced that.

What was your BAL?

What?

Blood alcohol level. I am convinced these guys have no sense of taste right now.

Do these commentators know there is a game on?

I’m going to the Target Center with 16 other people to watch Ray on March 30th. Ten of them plus myself will be donning my Ray Ray jerseys hopefully. Think he’ll take a picture with us?

Irving with 7 assists so far

Yeah, I’m hoping he finally gets double digits.

Also 1-7 shooting..

Was hoping he’d get 50 tonight and force Stern to pick him instead of Rondo!

He could still, anything is possible with Kyrie and the 4th quarter!

No TO’s which is exciting

I’m not surprised Semih can’t guard the Zombie tonight.

What are the chances Harristeria starts tonight in the 2nd half?

Jazz going with the greens tonight. I like them.

I hope this silence means everyone is emailing Conrad.

Haha, seriously guys, EMAIL ME

I’m on the verge of putting your email address has my signature haha.

Haha, people should email you too!

Oh my goodness. Ryan Hollins is so terrible.

Analysis. This is why I visit this site.

So is it more likely we trade someone during the all star break or after?

Just turned it on; any Harris sightings yet?

On the court, no

Unfortunately no.

That was a sick pass by Kyrie

Sweet pass..matches career high of 8 assists.

I want Conrad to write a retro recap on both of Jamison’s 51 point games!

I probably didn’t watch them /definitelydidnt

I mean I would do it if Anthony Parker had 51 in a game.

Nice D, but get the rebound FFS!

I don’t think AC calls Jamison anything other than “the jump shooter”.

lol my brother and I call him “Jarret Jack-Off”

Real mature guys…hahaha

Pretty sure Ariza was inside the circle.

Gravy, Belly and Goose start for the “Bees.”

Lmao. Well when you put it like that…

Fun fact: Pat Shurmur’s daughter goes to BC. Random, but I just remembered because I saw her at dinner tonight.

Is she cute?

Not particularly. I’d totally go for it and try to meet her dad if she were though.

Lol. I’d have some plays I’d send you to have him look at.

I wanna go on one date with her and be like “so, when do I get to meet your parents?”

And then you’d end up only meeting her mom…

Example: Why the FUCK did you hand the ball of to the TIGHT END!!!!

No, you just tell him to keep Colt McCoy.

Wahhhh? I’ll take RG3, thank you very much.

Nope.

Oh god the RG3/McCoy debate has found its way to the CAVS blog!!

Nah, my simple “nope” is an attempt to end it because I don’t want to get into it.

Haha, yeah we won’t argue it here. But there’s my stance, for the record.

Conrad: RG3, John: Colt. Anyone else want to officially go on the record before we end that one?

Only if he falls to 4th and Holmgren and Heckert both love him/

An excellent question. Still can’t believe he did that.

My understanding is that she battles hard for position in the dining center line.

If she was any good looking, I’d welcome her to battle hard for a different kind of position with me. Lol

Also, you guys may not notice (John will eventually) but SBNation switched photo providers…we now have WAY more photos. It’s awesome.

Sucks for Ben Uzoh and Mychel Thompson, we weren’t able to get Cavaliers photos of them up ever.

Yeah, we have some now. Too bad haha

It’s weird because in the article I put up today I searched for Rondo photos and one of the first ones that came up was that 2009 one with him and CP3.

Won’t be retroactive I don’t think. But there are like 20 pictures from last nights game instead of the usual 5 or so.

C’mon lets be down a bit at the beginning of the 4th. I missed last nights Kyrie Surge

Oh boy, the TT free throw line adventure..

He does know that he has to get the ball IN the basket right?

Someone should tell him..seems like he’s trying to break the backboard

TT 2 of 8 at the FT line…

pukes

Flag? ;)

Ahh I forgot it makes it bold when you put asterisks around it.

Any of you guys happen to check out what the Thunder are doing to John’s boy Ray Ray and the Celtics tonight?

I was waiting all first half for him to nail a bomb so I could say “did everyone see what Ray just did?” but it wasn’t a good half. And then I switched to Wolves-Jazz of course.

How about the Blazers last night against the Spurs. Jesus.

Yeah, that’s because the Spurs just took the loss.

Holy jumping shit balls!!

Jeez. How are we down 13 to the Hornets on a third night of a b2b2b??

We were flat yesterday and are missing everything. Everything is short or a mile long. Tired bodies.

Well, I mean…I know what they are doing haha. I just don’t think it should be happening.

Where the hell was the whistle?

This game is making me sad.

Losses dont make me sad….more ping pongers

But it’s still horrible basketball

That will be a nuisance from time to time

GET RYAN HOLLINS OFF THE COURT

This game is atrocious. Put Harris in to give me something.

Semih’s not playing this half because he’s already on his way to Orlando

That is a great photo..

I’ve got a Sessions bombs article coming soon btw.

We are playing both Luke Harangody and Ryan Hollins at the same time..

AND COMING BACK!!!

Needed: Erden.

Scott benched him. Not injury related either

Yeppers, the Hornets guys said that.

Razor ready to cut ’m to ribbons.

(It’s happening again)

Harangody taking charges lmaoooo

Grit at 1.2 kiloBlakes.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hollins finish a dunk.

I’m not joking when I say this: I dunk better than Hollins

I want to see a YouTube mix of your dunks.

Haha, my dunks are not impressive. But they are still better than Hollins.

Just make the video.

Can I do it on 9 1/2 foot hoops? That’d actually be impressive-ish

I’ll take it on a 10 foot hoop actually.

Then it would resemble Steve Nash’s dunk tape.

Just get me the link when it’s on youtube.

You seem to forget that I’m 5’10" and white

Just don’t kill yourself when you try and make the tape.

I have the exclusive Conrad dunk video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rpg7q9u8VCk

I am shocked that rim doesn’t get ripped off on every dunk.

STOP SCREWING UP THE ASSISTS

I thought he threw a lob to Harangody for a second…

Hahaha…aaaa….ahhahhh

Harangody is 0-3, being blocked 2x

Man, Kyrie cannot shoot tonight.

Harangody is both awesome and terrible right now.

Halfway through the 4th and they have 3 points.

Harangody and Hollins defense!

Kyrie Irving cannot buy a bucket.

How are we down 2 when Kyrie is 1 of 10?

The jump shooter.

Hollins kicked that guys beer. Unbelievable.

Mike Brown level D the last few sets

Is there a freaking lid on the rim? Kyrie can’t hit anything.

Ryan Hollins big time block hahaha

Hollins just blocked a shot. Kyrie has hit 1 shot. Improbability drive active.

Kyrie made the first basket of the game for the Cavs…11 missed shots in a row since.

I love how he isn’t afraid to keep shooting and just hit one.

“2-13 shooting with 10 assists? What a great game for Rubio!”

It sucks tonight he had to be awful shooting, I wanted the double double.

Which of these Hornets announcers is more Captain Obvious?

Kyrie in the skills challenge should be fun.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.

Final. Hornets 89, Cavs 84.

Ah well, sometimes you win, and sometimes you get more pingpong balls.
(and for the record, RG3)

Bad shooting but only eleven turnovers. Compared to earlier in the year when the Cavs were just hucking the ball out of bounds in order to meet their twenty TO quota each game, that’s pretty good.

Yeah, not bad, I suppose.
