There’s nothing quite as thrilling on baseline level as going online to check your bank account and finding that your debit card number has been hijacked by someone who likes internet gambling.
“I’m going to gamble and gamble and gamble and gamble and gamble until there’s no money left in this person’s account,” they apparently […]

We got an email from someone who claims to be in the know, and since we don’t worry about verification and such things, we’re just gonna run with this.
An additional reason? No NBA basketball watching for us this past week.
Anyway, here is portions of a back and forth we had with some dude via email.
when […]

As we close out the week and (at this exact moment) what’s-his-name throws a first strike for the Tribe against the New York City Yankees, we present the first batch of links in the NBA blog team previews thing that bastard Jeff from Celticsblog has turned into an annual thing.
And you thought we didn’t how […]

It’s begun…with a weird signing.
4 years, $24M - we figured any number of teams would throw that at former Heat-person Jason Kapono, being that he’s one of the best shooters (percetage-wise) in the NBA. But Toronto?
It’s weird not so much because they offered, but because we figured Kups (what we called him when he […]

Ladies and gentlemen…the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, aka The Battle of the Distracted.

Okay, so LeBron gave you maybe a quarter and a half, but it was the correct quarter and half. Cavs beat the Nets in 6, and move on to face the Detroit Lasers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Contrary to how we’ve been […]

We know it’s Jack Cobra’s day and all, but we’d feel a little weird if we didn’t put up some kind of sour-puss post regarding tonight’s Cavs-Nets Game 6.
Fear the Sword asks if the Cavs “have the stones”. Umm…no, they don’t. If they did, there wouldn’t be a game six at all.
Our own Jack […]

In the chat with Becky we posted the other night, we mentioned to her that we didn’t really have that passion for the Cavaliers we’d had in years past, ie our entire life.
“Why?”, she asked, and perhaps you asked, too.
Well, if you haven’t been reading all season, we have a really hard time getting […]

The headline in today’s Beacon Journal uses the word “enraged” to describe the mindset of LeBron James.
This in the aftermath of Nets forward Mikki Moore’s takedown of Sasha Pavlovic in Game 4, of course.
As any longtime reader knows, we’ve long been a proponent of one “Angry LeBron”, he being the version of LeBron who […]

Well, in what can roundly be called one of the ugliest games ever, LeBron and the Cleveland Jumpshooters beat Vince and the New Jersey Jumpshooters in Game 4, allowing them to go up 3-1 with the next one Wednesday in CLE.
By all logic, they should take the series at that point, but of course, this […]

We’re on a serious hunt for Angry LeBron, and there’s not much else to be said about tonight’s Nets-Cavs Game 4.
Bill Livingston sums it all up in his column from this morning’s Plain Dealer, and we don’t feel there’s much we can add.
As such…
After Tuesday’s performance, in which he scored 36 points with 12 […]
