Couple notes here – we’re still sick over the loss to the Seventy-Sixers last night, and also busy today. Thus, we will likely not post anything.
You can get some hot YAY action over at The Big Picture (oops!) however, who interviewed us earlier this week and posted it this morning.
You’ll learn a great many things, including our thoughts on the sports blogosphere as a whole, the until now unrevealed origin of YAYsports!, and many other things. Here’s an excerpt:
thinking about shaving” the day
Basically, it’s a wonderful opportunity to do what we do best – talk about ourself in exaggerated and glowy terms.
Point the second this fine morning – since we refuse to watch the Cavaliers for the near future at least, we’re looking for someone who can send in a brief recap of each game, which we can then comment on.
The reasons for this are simple – we need to stay updated on when we can start watching again, and we also think this will be more entertaining than the horrendous task of watching the team play. This won’t take long – the chosen one is asked to answer only the following for each game:
1) What was the team’s effort level on a scale of 1-14? Explain in two sentences or less.
2) What was the estimated ratio of times “Coach Mike spit into that cup” to “times Coach Mike said something that looked halfway motivating”?
3) Did LeBron care tonight or not? Don’t tell us his stats, because he can put up a triple double without even concentrating.
4) Did Daniel Gibson play? Details please.
5) How many times did you find yourself muttering and/or screaming, “Stop taking so many freaking jumpshots!!!” or something of that ilk? Please explain briefly.
BONUS: Did missed free throws play a part in the loss, if in fact they did lose? YES/NO will suffice here.
Please, we’re looking for serious answers here – this is our gauge for when we feel safe to return to supporting the team.
If you’d like to try to do this for us, email us at yaysports@gmail.com. Put “Coach Mike Watcher” in the subject line.

I’d help, but I’m too busy refusing to watch the Kings.
That is an extremely intriguing offer but there simply is no way I’d purposefully suffer through those games. The Cavaliers do NOT understand their plight, witness this quote from Larry “The Following Quote is Mostly Factually Incorrect” Hughes:
“It’s not about Xs and Os. We don’t need our coaches to get on us. We just need to figure ourselves out. Nobody is satisfied with how we’re playing.”
WRONG, it is very much about X’s and O’s, it’s about fundamentally sound basketball, about desire and heart and virtually every other sports cliche you can imagine.
The Cavs need someone to put their foot down (NOT you Larry, you will break your ankle) and give this team some direction. But that simply is not going to happen unless the team goes on an extended losing streak that forces Gilbert to take some kind of action. That probably won’t happen because the Cavs play in the weak-ass Eastern Conference and will declare all is well when they beat Philly by four points on Friday. They’ll believe (and say) that they’ve regained their focus, they know how to win, they know how to execute and they will follow that up by getting destroyed on Sunday at home on national television.
You could always get someone from Detroit to do your recaps. After hearing so much early talk out of Cleveland about how the Pistons were going to fall to 3rd in the Central, and be the Cavs’ little biatch, it’s fun trying to figure out how many missed at the charity stripe it’s going to take to blow the game; but that’s just me. Hmmm… is it legal to dunk on a free throw? That might be good for some highlights, more ticky-tack foul calls going to The Running Back, (TOUCHDOWN!) and a couple more endorsements.
Actually, the best time spent on the Cavs is reviewing some of the ridiculous trade scenarios that you find on Cav blogs. i.e. “We should just package Snow and David Wesley for Corey Maggette, so the King has some support.” *LMAO* (… and a cloud of chalk dust hovers over Coach Brown, mingling into the beads of sweat already forming on his brow, as the home crowd sheds their coats – revealing their “WITNESS T-shirts.”) Maybe when the new Microsoft system has all the bugs out, the fans can just bring in their laptops, hold them high in the arena, while chanting “MVP”(where’s that talk this year?) If the game is turning into a stinker, the crowd could call a timeout from the stands, and message Coach Brown, as to whom they want out on the floor, the ball handler, the play, etc; or just have the rest of the team form a circle around the rim, while TheBron inbounds the ball off the backboard, takes it up the court, through the lane, and DUNKS over his waiting teammates, while Hughes is prepared to grab any possible fumble on the way up, to dribble out and jack up another jumpshot.
What the hell has happened? Hey, DFerry has tried, hasn’t he? The Cavs once had CAP space, and he spent a bunch bringing in Hughes, DJ, Marshall, (23 mil in wasted $$ this year, and that’s not including Snow’s 6 mil) but things have yet to gell as a team. What’s the worry though; the Cavs have almost the same record as last year, almost the same TEAM minus Flip-Flop, they’re keeping David Westley fresh, while Detroit is retooling with old dudes, and sales involving the greatest basketball player ever born are brisk. But, I’m thinking that Brown, the silent genius, has a secret plan in play here, to lull the rest of the East asleep, and then spring it out at the last moment; leaving the rest of the NBA mesmerized, and scratching their heads.(the dust; that’s what signifies to the fans that all is under control, so be patient)
I’d volunteer for this recap duty, but you might have everyone scrambling out of here to the Tribe boards after a few games. Besides, I’m too busy envisioning how C-Webb is going to turn Rasheed into the Finals MVP this year. It’s been over a month since the vagabound version of the Pistons beat down the Cavaliers in their own crib. By the time Feb 4th rolls around, this retooled Pistons team will be hummin’, and when it’s over, all in The Q will be bummin’; just a hunch, but that’s me.

Pistons… they’re BAA-ACK!
I think the term is “long-winded.” If you’d like, I’ll keep you updated in succinct terms and sprinkle words of adoration throughout.
The amazing thing about central_fan1′s post is that I got to not read it twice, plus he has an underscore in his user name, that stands for something
I just prayed to God for the Cavs to beat the Pistons on Feb. 4th. Central_fan1 is in trouble as my God is better than yours.
seeing damon jones’s expression when he misses or makes shots are compelling
Just for that mean statement Jack, I hope the Bulls don’t get Pau! Gasol
Very well played Boney…Unfortunately, you will need to figure which God I pray to in order for your prayer to work….for my God is the strongest (benches 700 lbs, strength of 14 panda bears, teeth of 12 crocodiles, etc.) and will slay your God in order to make certain that my prayer is met and yours is not!
