Live Thread: Cavs vs. Knicks (#EverythingsNotAwesome)
2019-02-11
Everything’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…

Lack of chemistry getting exposed along with lack of minutes from cedi, love and knight.
Would it be wrong to put in blossomgame at the point right now?
Yes.
.
Good hustle Chriss
Terrible foul call on delly…. That was great defense
How many steps ?
Not as good ball movement there that time….. But great drive Nwaba!!!
Nwaba knuckleball…
Great ball movement against zone there btw
The Flob is the ultimate Zone buster…
Delly floater pure!!!!
Delly Flob!
I wonder why stauskos keeps getting cut or traded?
Clarkson ridiculous finish!!!!
Awesome lefty finish from JC…
Sauce bad turnover, he’s pressing.
13/14/4 for LNJ.
Wow… 8 of LNJ’s 14 boards are on the offensive glass…
Cleveland has not shot the ball well, but they are launching a ton of threes and they are owning the glass.

Way to attack the rim, guys.
Chriss can’t really play D, but he can score…
Nance keeping us in the lead. Chriss finally went up strong.
LNJ screaming at Chriss to get in the paint. He’s a bit frustrated w many of the new guys.
Love the leadership.
Sexton nice drive but gotta finish that… Nance with the hustle!!!!!!!!!
Great finish, Larry!
Lol. Vonleh.
LNJ just awesome tonight…
Who is this Kadeem Allen?
There you go Chriss !!!!!!!!
Chriss went up strong that time…
Great pass Nance, Chris gotta go up stronger.
Nice crossover, Collin!
Nice hesitation move Sexton!!! Should have found a kick out tho to avoid the big hit.
Good attack… awkward fall for YB…
Jr doing work on the boards!
LNJ another double double…
Nance is dominating!!!!~!
JC triple!
Clarkson!!!!! Time to get him going!
Way to go LNJ. Good ball movement. Missed 3.
Biggest difference now is no KLove…
If Clarkson has a bricky game down the stretch the Cavs could still put this one in the L column…
Nice hustle Nance!
Chriss up soft off a nice LNJ pass.
YB with a much needed 3.
Sexton needed that one!!!!
Huge break there. Did the right thing though. LNJ in the middle.
Better passing with delly and Nance going in and out
Poor pass from LNJ there.

Run some offense.
Zone issues.
LNJ needs to shoot that.
Too many 3s.
Smith and Sexton trading bad threes…
That wasn’t good ball movement against zone.
I really wish they could just re-hire Fratello…
Lead assistant for price?
Cavs still can’t figure out a zone D…
Nance should start. They should keep zizic and trade TT.
Yep. TT gotta go.
Continuing Kevin Knox discussion from earlier, I think a good summer league may have given him a false sense of confidence.
As we have seen many times summer league basically means nothing as far as rookie success.
YB is allergic to the backboard.
Use the glass!
Smith with a j from Waiters Island.
Rough possession by Sexton that time…
TO fest. Need a TO.
Terrible turnovers…
This is like the Boston game for Chriss and Knight with Clarkson and Hood hitting like every three that game. Don’t expect that to continue. No Rose colored goggles for me.
Totally with you here…
Except they had LBJ dishing it to them for open shots…
Chriss has been open a fair amount as has Knight.
Not LBJ kick out pass open…
Meh. Teams recover quick on cross courts one pass shots. Almost always semi contested.
Cavs throwing balls away, clearly not used to playing together yet…
Damn miscommunication by Nance and Nwaba
Mario airballs a lob…
