goooooooo cavs !!!!!!

Hoping we remind the Clips why this place was NBA hell for visitors.
Stay healthy Gibson, we need you.

I am unfortunately at BC-FSU tonight, hopefully I’m back for the fourth quarter.

I’m off St. O-CC. Will only be here for a quarter plus.

Um… Kyrie Irving out with concussion symptoms. Ummm…

A non-issue.

Except for the fact that he’s our best player. Other than that, NBD.

Is this game important?

Concussions are always bad. Always.

Yea I know they are. But name me off a list of NBA players who had their careers end in their first 3 years because of concussions.

There aren’t many, but it’s still not good.

It’s not about his career ending now, it’s about the possibility of this being a recurring problem.

You have no idea how or when he’s going to recover.

The Clips are weak without Billups. I can’t remember any time where so few teams in the league truly had depth.

My motivation to keep watching is so very low.

Sessions leads us to a win – TRADE BAIT!!!!

Slow start. This is going to get ugly without a true point

Gibson vs. Mo. This had to happen in practice a ton

Also, NO HOLLINS YET

SKY drive into SKY block

on Blake. Double bonus

To answer Kyrie question: He hit Wade’s knee on a drive yesterday after he was fouled. Headache that worsened until today, leading to concussion diagnosis.

Andy, still awesome

Andy to Omri is the real Lob City.

Okay, who had an Andy to Casspi alley-oop working?
Also, Griffin is an ass

Jamison does not give a frack

take this concussion thing serious

i.e Sidney Crosby. don’t take it lightly

There’s a slight difference in the contact level of hockey and basketball, but you’re right. We should be concerned. In other news, Cavs are beyond fired up and Blake is going to fight someone. Where’s Ryan Hollins when you need him?

Clippers cannot handle our intensity right now.

Beginning to think Coach played Luke and Hollins yesterday to save the good players to crash these upstarts.

Need to keep them off the foul line. They can’t make anything else right now.

Finish strong. Heck, finish neutral. Because we have to ice down Andy

Clips only 2-3 while entering 4th trailing. That is a lot of leads

Starting to look like a Kyrie-less Cavs team.

Really slow today

They cut the lead apart, but it cost them all their fouls to give.

That’s a bogus flagrant, but we got away with one earlier when Samardo just flat out pushed Blake down around his midsection and the only thing that resulted other than a regular shooting foul was a Kenyon Martin technical.

I guess the lesson is don’t try and catch him

Ramon with a double double 20-10

Antawn and Ramon have really picked up the slack without Kyrie. Efficient games from both of them.

Perfect D from Andy and Blake gets the call.

Ugh…really needed Gee to finish that slam.

ANDY WILL END YOU LA BOYS

Andy is such a champ.

Of course Blake shoots 9/10 FTs when he’s making 50% on the season.

Are you kidding me Boobie?

Oh boy, blood and tears time. 17 seconds to victory

1 more hold. ICE THIS GEE

Haha Blake.

Blake and Kenyan make a dirty tandem dont they?

I’m a UC basketball fan, so I will always like Kenyon Martin. I can’t help but feel bad for the guy considering injuries cost him what could have been a special career.

I’m really impressed with how this team comes out of half-time. It seems like Byron Scott always wins the coaching battle.

Well heck, if he can’t outcoach Vinny Del Negro it’s a crime against humanity.

He’s the anti-Mike Brown.

Player of the game goes do Danieldelamaiz unanimously.

That was easier than last year!

Common thread, Mo Williams helping the Cavs big in the closing minutes.

This must have been too emotional a return for him to handle.

I’ve just met you and already you look like a fantastic Cleveland fan.

In other news, Miami can’t even beat a sputtering Magic team?

Also, cry some more LeBron. You have no one to blame for your reputation but yourself.

OMG you guys have got read the comments section. They’ve created a new meme: LeBron’s fault.

Rebecca Black: LeBron’s fault
Mufasa’s death: LeBron’s fault
Why Pacquiao vs Mayweather hasn’t happened: LeBron’s fault
James Harrison getting fined: LeBron’s fault
The Last Airbender: LeBron’s fault
Bambi’s Mom Dying: LeBron’s fault
Donald Trump’s hair: LeBron’s fault
Taking poops realizing there is no more toilet paper: LeBron’s fault

I can’t make this stuff up.

huge win.

that jamison circus shot’s crazy.

clippers fan here...good win...

awful play by the clippers…

question, is it Ra-mon or Ra-mohn?

Ruh-Mahn

Yea, what the deuce was I saying? Wow, John! Thanks Rob.

Kudos to a really nice win over the Clips.
