Dwight Howard is a Giant Child

“Don’t believe the hype.”
Orlando has been screaming this line since probably 20 minutes after they bumped off Boston in reference to league MVP LeBron James, led by Orlando Sentinel ‘writer’ Mike “My 15 minute egg timer is down to four” Bianchi.
Well I’m here to tell you right now that you shouldn’t believe the hype… about [...]

Well That’s Just Great

I don’t really know what to say right now. My thoughts aren’t very organized so I suppose I’ll have to just structure them through–surprise–the magic of bullet points to try and get my entire stream of consciousness recorded for all five of you who read this blog to see.

It’s official: Orlando can no longer claim [...]

So….

This is what a wake-up call looks like. All of the Cavs submitted a, “What I did on my 8 day vacation” essay and failed. From top to bottom. LeBron passing up shots in the final minutes, the other starters having absolutely no confidence in their abilities at either end of the floor. And our [...]

Bad Shooting, Worse Coaching Doom Cavs

After I’ve made some previous profanity-laced blog posts on old blog projects coming off enfuriating Cleveland playoff losses, I’ve pledged since the 2007 ALCS to never again write while angry. And I won’t. I am writing this sentence at 11:31 PM EDT, and walking away. I’ll let you know when I come back.
11:51 PM. It’s [...]

Monday Morning Round-up (aka Seaward Loves Bullet Points)

It was a busy weekend in Cleveland and I spent almost all of it out of town and away from a computer, so let’s take just about my favorite thing in the history of blogs–BULLET POINTS!–and wheel our way around the weekend that was along America’s North Coast.

Ohh… the Indians. People often look for turning [...]

Cleveland Hero: Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk, you and Cleveland rarely cross paths. Twice a year we see you, and I’m sure the way things work, you have done wrong by us in one way or another at some point. But today on the Lake known as Erie, you are our hero. Thanks for extending your series with the Nuggets. We [...]

Monday Morning: Did You See That?

We all saw it last night, Glen Davis hit a shot that if he could have pulled off in college, LSU would have been back to back champs instead of Florida. Everyone loved the way the Celtics and Big Baby celebrated. Hard to believe this team won a championship EVER,  let [...]

Open Letter to Atlanta: Curb Your Stupidity

 Dear Mike Woodson,
Well, here we are. You are in round two of the NBA Playoffs, after your first winning season in God Knows How Long. You put Dwayne Wade and his Heat away in round one. Your fans seem to have a pulse, even if it’s one that is incredibly misinformed on how to handle opposing [...]

Hawks Fans Beg Mike Woodson to Put in Chipper Jones

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Atlanta fans are just terrible. I realize that this concept pre-dates my high school career (See: Justice, David circa 1995) but from time to time, there needs to be a sort of reminder, or reboot. I’m sure Celtics fans were all over this notion last year when Mike [...]

Sons of Nev’s Early Summer Vacation

Yeah… it’s been a little while since we’ve done any writing here. Both JTBI and I have been way busy with work lately, with on-location remotes on a near-daily basis for myself and JTBI getting ready to take a new job and move back to the Buckeye state (lucky).
Hence, the lack of posts. Just call [...]
