Live Thread: Cavs vs. Knicks (#EverythingsNotAwesome)
2019-02-11Everything’s not awesome
Everything’s not cool
I am so depressed
Everything’s not awesome
Whoa, I think I finally get Radiohead
(Bro, you should check out Elliott Smith)
What’s the point
There’s no hope
Awesomeness was a pipe dream
(Aye, my spirits be at the bottom of the sea)
Love’s not real
I just want to eat carbs
Pass the ice cream
(I’m not a thing you can just use to fill emotional voids with)
Stop. Everyone okay, just… ugh, listen…
Everything’s not awesome
But that doesn’t mean that it’s hopeless and bleak
Everything’s not awesome
But in my heart I believe
We can make things better
If we stick together
Side by side you and I
We will build it together
(Build it together, together forever)
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your…
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your…
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your…
Heart
Everything’s not awesome
Things can’t be awesome all of the time
It’s unrealistic expectation
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try
To make everything awesome
In a less idealistic kind of way…
These are most of the lyrics from the main song in the new Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. I’ll be honest, the movie wasn’t awesome. But, it did get me thinking about the Cavs this season. Sure, everything’s not awesome like it used to be, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be again. First though, the Cavs have to endure another tank battle with the New York Knicks for the opportunity to draft Zion Williamson this summer… and get on the road to being awesome again.
Kevin Love should be there, even if Cedi Osman and Tristan Thompson are still out. Maybe even the nomadic Sauce Castillo will make things a little more awesome with an appearance.
Prediction: The Knicks, who are trying to be a little less awesome than the Cavs these days in the race for the number one draft position, tank just a little harder as Cleveland wins 98-88.
Catch all the action… starting right now on FSO, and don’t forget to chime in your awesome thoughts below…

Delly raining baskets!!!
I know it is the Knicks.
But we are also down Cedi & TT. Love & Knight are limited in terms of minutes. And Chriss, Knight, and Stauskas just got here.
Point being, we are gonna be better these last 25 games.
Magic is so dumb…

Nah. Simmons initiated it by talking about asking Magic for advice this summer.
Magic said he eould talk to him if the league OK’d it. Seriously, what is wrong with that?
Magic doesn’t know how to be a GM. He can’t shut his mouth. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. Lakers could really use a Jerry West type of mentor…
Jalen Rose would be a nice fit there as GM…
Page E aho ld start a petition.
Even Laker fans are saying he needs to STFU…
Delly defense!!!!! Nance with the pass!!!!
Great ball movement on that break…
Saucy steal. Delly to Nwaba for 3. Up 7
A little saucy D…
Delly dimes!
Sauce with great defense!!!! Delly great pass and Nwaba 3!!!
Nice pass Delly! Nwaba three!
NWABA!
Hilarious that Stauskas was a lottery pick…(not revisionist, I thought it was ridiculous at the time that he was assumed to be a lottery guy)
Flob x2
Does Stauskas even know where he is right now?
Apparently he never left Cleveland after the trade.
How could he?
Delly floater!!!
Home just in time for a Delly flob and a super Mario poster.
Yeah on Chriss… which is like dunking on a traffic cone….
almost 30% of scoring @34-30 coming from chriss-knight..
Love has looked sharp this game…
Hezonja with the weakest stare down ever… you dunked on Marquese Chriss dude… not Rudy Gobert…
Great Delly pass to JC for the dunk!
KLove looks great…
OK WE PROVED KLOVE STILL HAS VALUE—NOW GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF THERE BEFORE THE ” TANK ” SLIPS AWAY : )
Chriss with the hustle!!!!!!! Loving the energy!
Way to stay after it Chriss!

CORRECT EVIL —THE KEY IS —THE RIGHT COACHING THIS OFF SEASON —-HEY MAYBE WE SHOULD START TO “AUDITION ” COACHES TOO
Not that impressed with Knox tbh…
While I appreciate the optimism, please do not get overly excited about our scrubs when watching them play against the Knicks. This is a G-League game we’re watching.
Somebody didn’t read the LT intro… ;)
I barely got out of not seeing that movie this weekend. I’ll have it force memorized by next weekend.
What? Is that the voice of reason? I cannot hear you.
Knicks battled Toronto down to the wire last night.
In all seriousness, for a team that is not a FA destination, taking a chance on some guys on rookie deals who have not worked out. The Dipo/DeRo path.
Oh, Chriss got posterized there.
Sexton rhythm j!
” NO MISS ” CHRISS –STROKING IT
LNJ with 2. Love back in. Good sign if Love feeling good. BS call on Larry.
With the right coaching choice in the off season, some of these new young guys might work out…
Sexton, Clarkson, Stauskas, Chriss, LNJ.
i think chriss can be more than meh.. knight could be a real diamond in rough.. we are in pangloss territory..
Chriss nails a 3 after Nwaba o-board.
Pull the starters! This is getting away from us quickly.
Chriss with a pure 3!!!
Nice response by Cavs… 9-2 run
What a great pass klove, Nance has to find a way to finish that.
Less threes. More drives.
Clarkson for Knight.
Jordan too big for Love.
What a great play klove!!!!
This Cavs group on the floor resembles an NBA team…
Sneaky move Kev!
Nice drive Sexton.
Nice drive and finish, Collin!
Good aggressive attack that time by Sexton…
Yep. Going cold. 3-13.
Lots of open looks, though. Kev makes a huge difference.
You can tell these guys haven’t played a minute together as a unit lol.
Which ones?
Lmao touché!!!!
Not convinced Knox is ever going to be more than an average NBA player…but I know it’s stupid to say that sort of thing about rookie players…it was also stupid to swoon over him after a couple of summer league dunks…
I think people just don’t understand his game. He’s a 3 and D guy… Not a playmaker.
WILL PROBABLY JINX HIM—KNIGHT PERFECT FROM 3 PT LAND AS A CAV
Love Nwaba’s fight…
VALENTINE’S IS THIS WEEK—-” LOVE IS IN THE AIR “
8-0?
Young Bull short on b2b triple tries…
Shoulda been a foul on DJ…
Nance and Love out there passing the ball around is a welcome sight…
Yikes… Dennis Smith destroyed that Sexton layup attempt…
Any word on a minutes restriction for Kev and/or Knight tonight?
I thought I read 12 minutes for Love…
6 min to start each half?
Love draws 2 FTs, drains a three, and blocks a shot that leads to a Knight triple. 8-0 Cavs
Welcome back, Kev.
Love and Knight might be enough to cost us this game…
Knight with the pull up three in transition
LOV3!
Tonight had me thinking White Men Can’t Jump & Rosie Perez:
Sometimes when you win, you actually lose or tie.
Another great reference!
I NEED TO GET “ROYALTIES ” FOR USING THE WORD ” NOMADIC ” : )
That seems more than fair
WOW THAT WRITE UP WILL PROBABLY OVERSHADOW / BE BETTER THAN THE GAME ITSELF—-GREAT JOB EVIL !!!—-YOU BROOUGHT YOUR” A ” GAME—WHICH I WOULD THINK NEITHER TEAM WILL BRING TONIGHT
Thanks NOMAD!
