I only thank my lord and Savior Jesus Christ in games Cleveland plays, if they're not one of the teams I'm not even sure if the game is occurring. For example. "First of all I would like to thank my lord and Savior Jesus Christ that the Cavaliers will be playing the Raptors in a foreign land tonight." I am not so thankful for a Bengal/Texan playoff football game of course so I may not be thanking personally for that one.

It's all ok. I get a kick out of the Tebow stuff and the angst it all causes.

It is kind of goofy thing, all of it.

The best ones are the guys who score TD's and must kneel in prayer and ignore their teammates desire to celebrate that which they helped the TD maker make ...and then ignore them again as the TD maker rushes to the stands to celebrate with his fans; thereby ensuring fan love so he can use that against management in demanding a new contract.

Showing you love God and allowing fans to touchy-feel you is a great scam.

I'm not sure if there's that much thought put into it! Seriously I was just reading this article where Steelers safety RYan Clark isn't playing Sunday. He is a sickle cell carrier and high altitude, low oxygen is dangerous...last time he played in Denver 4 years ago he lost his spleen, gallbladder. So he now never plays there. First time I had ever read about that. More of God answering TB I guess??

Wow..didn't know.

That's a bad deal right there.

Anyways..you're saying it's the Stihlers at Denver?

I don't know anything about the play offs.

horseofcourse · #**1966** 01-04-2012, 08:20 PM

well, even in the depths of NBA competition, 29.6 percent ain't gonna win you many games!! The foreign team owns us. Thompson could not make one basket in his home land.

clyde · #**1967** 01-04-2012, 10:36 PM

That's overall team fg shooting for us?

That is like really so bad.

maybe canada sets their baskets at 9' 11 and 1/2 inches due to a metric system snafu. Now back to the home land and the fine city of Minneapolis Friday. rumor has it the Cavs won't be featured much on TNT Thursday games. Darn.

It's an outrage,is what it is.

By the way, that $14,000 can't be right.

horseofcourse · #**1973** 01-06-2012, 02:06 PM

There's no Browns game to predict a losing score for this week. I feel strangely empty. Well, I still think they can lose 10-6 playing no one at all this week.

clyde · #**1974** 01-06-2012, 04:53 PM

I already miss them.

It was always fun predicting the future having seen it.

Hey, root for my team...we need help, all banged up...My sis is a Brownie fan...but what does she know...

clyde · #**1976** 01-06-2012, 07:59 PM

Only those fans would play air helicopter.

Sorry, can't help ya.

horseofcourse · #**1977** 01-06-2012, 09:26 PM

HOly crappin heck there's a lot of bad teams in the NBA. We seem to play one every night. 98-87 win over Minnesota, back above .500. We now cross the Rockies. Finally play an actual good team in Portland, although I guess in today's NBA Indiana qualifies as one too and we darn near beat them. IN my backyard in Salt Lake Tuesday, I'd go if it was weekend but have work and school and crap like that takin away from Cav time. It is the only game I'll be able to watch on TV here so I'm getting fired up!!

clyde · #**1978** 01-06-2012, 10:58 PM

A.T.!!!!

yay!!!!

horseofcourse · #**1979** 01-07-2012, 07:03 AM

those dang trickster Canadians...so this explains our loss up there...

Playing in Toronto presents a number of challenges to NBA teams. Everyone in the city is nicer, color is spelled differently, and basketball is roughly 25 times less popular than hockey. The biggest change, of course, is that Canada is a totally different country, so everyone has to carry their passports on trips. Otherwise, there's no way to get to Toronto, unless there's a particularly corrupt customs agent at the airport.

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Samardo Samuels fell victim to that last issue after losing his passport in early December. Without a new one, he was unable to play in Wednesday night's game against the Raptors.

A passport issue is gonna keep us out of the playoffs!! Mr Rodgers might be a Canadian interloper.
