Yet another great song from the debut record from The Cars:

Sluggish regular season. Poor defense. Mixed and unmatched rotations with all new faces. Veteran legs. 2nd seed. Is the hunger gone?

I don’t know about it being Cleveland’s finest hour — remember 1.5 million peaceful people celebrating together? — but this former editor of the PD gets it about right:

Curse Busters!
Just a little update on the details of the Cleveland Curse. I hate how it’s sold as nothing but losing teams for 50 years.
The Curse is that Cleveland …
3-2 at this point. 1 game left in Cleveland. Possible game 7 back in Oakland.
I said 4-2 Cavs so I’ve been disqualified for a bit now. I did predict Kyrie’s breakout.
The Warriors are a resilient, tricky bunch.
The …
Prince’s passing has left me a bit shaken. I’m avoiding the mysterious theories and thinking this generally healthy and sober man had pill demons that caught him and he walked into his personal elevator and never came out. The lyrics …

Warriors came to the winter wonderland of Cleveland last night and beat the doo-doo out of the Cavs. The Cavs were rolling, playing good ball on their road trip, but it was off from the start last night.…

Oh my, it’s NBA time, and this is perhaps the most hyped season the Cavs have ever entered into. Doormats just 3 years ago, they are now consensus favorites to win the East, and about 40% of pundits are picking …

It’s over. Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors, 2015 NBA Champs. They earned it by plowing through the regular season, rolling to the Finals, and catching an injured Cavs squad that didn’t have the bodies to match up. They complete …
First off, what a year for these two teams. The Warriors completed a dominant regular season with an unorthodox style led by their shooting, often times quick hit 3’s early in the shot clock. They played defense, they mowed through …
The Warriors MVP woke up, finally, towards the end of game 3, down by 20. It was good but scary as a Cavs fan to see Stephon Curry hit 3 straight.
Other than that, Cleveland has owned this series. Through …
Why The National Media Continues to Favor The Warriors
1. They refuse the Eyeball test. Stats are interesting, insightful, and of course the most important single stat determines a win or loss. The new generation of analytics along with …
The Cavs have been having their way with the Warriors for most of the series so far. The first 2 games have been controlled by Cleveland throughout, with leads being elusive and short-lived for these overly-hyped regular season Warriors. It …
Wow what a game, what a story.
The big Russian dunks on everyone!
First off, message sent. Everyone claiming the Warriors were clear favorites, ready to wipe the pathetic “leastern conference” champs out with ease, watched the Cavs handle the …
These categories are ranked in importance from top to bottom. Notice how Regular Season is near the bottom. Championship experience and pedigree is valued above all else, and in that department the Warriors are total virgins.

With Lebron back on the Cavs, he’s joining a team that’s considerably more entertaining than the Cavs team he left in 2010. Anderson Varajeo is the only guy left on the roster from back then, and when …

Allow me to correct.

The funk ethos is to have a good time all the time, to move to remove. As we age we often forget about the things that made us happy as children. Many of those childhood memories do indeed translate to …
