How can people say that wrestling is fake?

@hughhewitt He so wanted to go to the Knicks and the team wanted him. It just wasn’t meant to be. He’ll continue to excel with the Cavs, but this is as good as the team is going to be in the postseason.

Donovan Mitchell is the equal of the classiest pros across all sports. His comments today about sticking with the Cavs: “I love it here. I don’t know how else to say it. I said it before I signed the other extension. I love it here and I have no doubt this group can get there. We have unfinished business.” “Reports are going to be reports. People are going to be people, but I said the same thing. It’s great energy to see the city, when we got to the conference finals, just to feel that, like that’s amazing. That’s why getting swept like this sucks. Even driving in, people are going crazy and I love that. I love that about this place, man.” “I’m sorry for the city of Cleveland, for it to be like this in a sweep. That’s a--. But I told y’all last year and I would say again, we’ll be back and we’ll be ready and we’ll be hungry and we’ll be locked in. The city deserves a ring and we’ve just got to keep going.”

Are the Cavs analytically going to the championship series?

🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹 again. Knicks!

The Cavs haven’t shown up since the third quarter of the first game. It’s fun to see the Knicks beat the crap out of them, but nothing tops the soul-crushing defeat in the first game. The Knicks’ third string players will likely be in the game soon. On to the finals!

Let’s crown the Cavs as the analytical NBA champions! He can think it, but he’s an idiot to say it. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Wrong! Snoopy sucks as does Peanuts.

I’m not surprised because the Knicks are a superior team, but the Cavs have looked pathetic in this series. They blew a huge lead in Game 1, played dead in Game 2, and in a make-or-break Game 3 at home they were dominated. As a Knicks fan, except the first game, this is boring.
