Hsu, but can't recall which. And agree based on Beer Bryan's Lowther system. Sounds great!

Maybe so. Or maybe they keep the same philosophy of focusing the team defense on the Splash Brothers, but put a different individual defender on Lee? Or front Lee and watch the passing lanes from a different angle, or shade him a bit to a different angle when in the paint? Or like you said, maybe they don't let him hide on defense, and force him to switch to Lebron on defense. Little things like that, depending on what the video review shows. I think they did something similar with Mareese Speights after he went off a bit in the previous game. The next game, there was always someone within arm's reach on his short jumpers, even though the focus was still on the Splash Brothers. Again, interesting to watch the chess match ...

Not the same without the 5 hours wait in line ...

TMoney: Lee definitely was an unexpected boost; Cavs were not prepared for that. Hoping/expecting Coach Blatt to make adjustments on how to defend that. And then Kerr to expect the adjustment and adjust back. The coaching has been an interesting chess match!

Glad to have you on board, bro'! Definitely an honor! It's interesting how a fair number of people are turning around on hating Lebron because of this series. Really funny, and really true! Delly did this against Rose and the Bulls, but that one was way ugly and not fun to watch. This one is great, because the Warriors can fight back with finesse and skill. Delly was accused of being dirty against the Bulls, and maybe there was an element of that. But I always felt he was just an intense, all out hustler who bugged the opposing team so much that they lost from exhaustion and anger. He wouldn't try to hurt you intentionally, but if your knees got in the way of him getting that loose ball, well you better get your knees the fuck out of the way! So this series, he's being hailed as a hero instead of being dirty, but he looks the same to me. I've read in the Cleveland sports forums that Kyrie used to HATE him when he first joined the team. He went all out like this in practice every second of every day, and just pissed Kyrie off to no end! Kyrie was the star, and here's this rookie punk, in his jock strap, constantly pestering him, even during casual practices! It took him a year or so to learn to deal with it, and in the end, he said it improved him so much. And now he's just thrilled that it's his opponents who have to deal with him! Funny ... that reads a lot like The Onion. And makes me think of the Monty Python limbless Black knight. I only hope Delly isn't completely incapacitated before the end of this series! i don't know how he and Lebron can keep up this pace for a whole series! Maybe (hopefully) The Warriors are getting exhausted, too. https://youtu.be/2eMkth8FWno

Boy, I saw this and thought it was a Tice joke ...

So sorry, Al! Your tribute brought a tear to my eye. And I missed the two I lost in the last year all over again. The bond we have with them is quite remarkable!

Thanks, Bryan. You've seen what a biyatch I am about my Cleveland sports! What a heart break for Cleveland! And for Kyrie ... I hate terrible fluke injuries for anyone, but especially for a nice guy like him. And what a loss for all basketball fans. This was going to be a great series. Game 1 showed us that- what a great game! Now it'll be either an easy Warriors win; or, if Cleveland has any chance at all, it'll be another physical, grind it out series like it was against Da Bulls. And even though I was happy to win that, it was not fun basketball to watch .

Nice that your gums are moist and soothed now!

Great game. But if Kyrie is out, it won't be much of a series.

Holy crap, I remember him! Just last weekend we were looking up and re-living 'Land of the Lost' (different show, but same producers), because I wanted to prove to Anne that former Cavaliers basketball players Bill Lambier and John Lambert were in it. Turns out they were just sleestacks, not main characters, so it was easy to miss them.

Happy birthday Ben!

Glad to hear from you, Marc! Get well soon!

Good luck Marc!

Wow! Those are a big delicacy around here. People go morel hunting and sell them for good money, or keep them and show them off to friends. I've read about people falling off cliffs while morel hunting. Nice find!

Happy Birthday!!

That's pretty cool! Flash finally came out as I was leaving for work.

Eh, no... I can't see him either!

Nice job saving a life! Not so convinced those modalities help pain, but have a bunch of patients who feel they do. This weekend, got a new pet, a box turtle. A neighbor had been trying to donate him to us since our dogs died and his two daughters grew up and left the house. The kids named him Flash because in the back yard he's so fast. I've seen him once since we got him. Here he is, look closely under the Spanish moss...

Happy birthday Chris!

A good office chair made a HUGE difference in my work life. Well done!

Actually a pretty good game for once. Or maybe I am influenced by the outcome.

Srsly. Let's not watch together from our own places. [emoji35]

Yummy!

Hooray for The Magic Power and Spirit of Radio in the 80's Great White North! Rock on, Al! Did you feel young, wild and free?
