LOL...what's next? Gonna hit me with one of your "go to's" like Quinoa, bike riding or steroids?

Maybe :)

LOL

I was hoping for a Kale Smoothie line myself.

I have to agree with S&L.  Can we just talk about why the Cavs lost game 1 and look ahead to game 2 instead of bringing up Cleveland radio drama?  We can QQ about that all off season.  The cavs didn't lose game 1 because they fucking fired Griffin last summer.   Griffin being around wasn't going to make the Cavs win after shooting 38% FG.  That's half a percentage better than the cavs regular season FROM THREE. 

Cleveland radio drama? LOL

Cleveland radio drama? LOL

Cleveland radio drama, ESPN hot takes, etc.  They are all the same shit.  I specifically avoid all of them (especially after a loss), so I don't have to listen to the bullshit TMZ reporting after a game 1 loss.  I prefer this site or RCF for my sports talk, because we normally don't discuss it.   It would be nice if it wasn't brought to this site every time the Cavs lose a game. 

TT cheating scandal was on their mind...resulted in a horrific shooting night.

Considering I specifically avoided local sports talk on my drive in, to avoid their boo hooing about the upcoming inevitable, wouldn't know what you were talking about. And Sirius XM NFL only talks football.

I wasn't implying that you listened to local radio today and brought those takes here.  I am saying the type of takes you are bringing here today are similar to cleveland radio/espn/etc. 

The 7 players in the playoffs that were involved in the Cavs overhaul at the trade deadline...

Crowder - 13 points in Utah's G1 loss

Wade - 11 in G1 and 28 in G2 for the Heat

Rose 16 in T-Wolves G1 loss

For the Cavs...

Hill - 7 points

Hood - 9 points

Clarkson - 6 points 

Nance - 10 points

I would probably start Calderon, James, Love, Green, and Nance.  Smith, Hood and Clarkson first off the bench; Korver and Hill still aching ............Osman and Thompson in the mix. 

Well, if you have never been to a Cavs playoff game and want to go, tonight would be the chance. Game is far from sold out and tickets can be had for as low as $28 on Flash Seats.

That's absurd and embarrassing if true.

I got on there just to make sure it wasn't BS and at a little after 7am this morning, ticket prices on there ranged from $28-$5100. I agree that it is embarrassing and one would think it would be the opposite, to support them and help get them over the hump.

What? Flash Seats would be selling ALREADY SOLD tickets, no? Just because the price on there is low doesnt mean it isnt sold out. That would be like saying I found tickets on StubHub...fans dont care about the team!!!

I thought flash seats was the Cavs Organization's way of selling tickets online, no?

I know they are partnered with them. I still thought they were re-sell market though. Maybe not

If you look at the ESPN schedule where it lists how many tickets for what price, you'll find:

186 tickets remaining for Pacers - Cavs for as low as $34

167 tickets remaining for Utah - Oklahoma City for as low as $31

357 tickets for Minnesota - Houston for $77

1,000+ tickets remaining for tomorrow's games in San Antonio and Miami. Tickets for $46 for the Portland - New Orleans game tomorrow.

Not really a big deal. 

Cavs seem to be taking it more seriously so far. 

Lebron should drop 80 tonight
