#Cavs were pretty awful in the 1st half tonight but then played an inspired 2nd half as they finished the game on a 12-0 run to close out the Bulls to overcome a 16 point halftime deficit and win 128-122. Spida was great late and Tyson was terrific in the 4th.

#Buckeyes cruise with a 34-10 win at Purdue where they shockingly allowed a backdoor cover. Purdue nonsensically punted twice on 4th and 3 between the 40s. Gifts this OSU team didn’t need.

Tonight the #Cavs put exactly the type of beatdown on a team of the Wizards caliber that they should have.

I don’t see any scenario where QB needy teams at the top of the draft like the Jets and Saints are passing on QBs. If the #Browns draft at 8, zero chance QB2 (whoever that might be) is still there.

#Cavs debut their nice looking throwbacks on a night where DG returned and they were as healthy as they’ve been all year. Spida had 46 but it was a pretty uneven effort even though they got the W over a banged up 76ers team.

So the #Browns did almost nothing today despite having a bunch of guys on the last year of their deals. Pretty surprised Berry didn’t gather any additional picks.

Hate to say it, but the #Browns really need to lose to the Jets on Sunday. There’s no way they end up above the Jets in the draft order if the Browns win.

If Sauce Gardner is worth 2 first rounders, how many first rounders could the #Browns get for Myles?

I honestly wasn’t aware this player was on the #Browns.

Unless Rees can magically make the #Browns OL block better, or its WRs suddenly able to get open, then him calling the plays probably makes zero difference in how the offense performs.

Kind of a messy game for the #Cavs at both ends tonight, but they figured out a way to beat Atlanta for a much needed win.

Given how many connections there are between the #Guardians and this Blue Jays team, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that Canada imported Cleveland baseball heartbreak too, right down to former Guards ace Shane Bieber giving up the game winning homer in the 11th.

Fitting that this World Series will go to extras to decide Game 7. This has been incredible theater.

Sayin was terrific, Smith did things Smith can only do and the #Buckeyes WRs owned the Penn St secondary all day. Another OSU win where covering the spread was the only drama (which the Bucks did yet again).

Very shorthanded #Cavs fought valiantly but were somehow done in by Jamison Battle of all people and the Raptors closed the game out in the closing minutes.

Ugly offensive performance from #Cavs after a 1st quarter where they scored 42. Only 63 points the rest of the way. Mitchell started off 5/5 and didn’t make another shot. Way too many open 3s allowed on the defensive end too.

Wizards crowds have been pretty bad for a long time. I used to go semi-often to see the #Cavs back in LeBron’s first stint when the Wizards were a strong playoff team with Arenas, Jamison, and Haywood. The crowds back then weren’t good either and it was 30-40% Cleveland fans.

Super impressive win by the #Cavs to go into Detroit on the second night of a back-to-back missing multiple players and absolutely shellack a playoff caliber Pistons team.

It’s absolutely outrageous that NBA League Pass subscribers can’t watch games being shown only on Peacock. I’m not paying for Peacock to watch 3 #Cavs games and 1 #Buckeyes game each season.

#Browns offense is so broken and lacking in talent. 2 UDFAs getting regular playing time at WR (neither had a reception) and Jerry Jeudy, who had a Pro Bowl caliber season last year is out there for 80+% of offensive snaps and had 0 receptions on 2 targets.

Good #Cavs win tonight. The Bucks are going to be very solid. Cavs looked like they would pull away in the 3rd, but then went cold as Giannis took over. Thankfully, Cavs executed well late and Mobley made a bunch of clutch free throws at the end to seal the game.

Albernaz and Vogt are extremely tight. Will be interesting to see how the #Guardians skipper handles the job next season without his right hand man.

I’m biased as a #Browns fan, but I think I can legitimately be objective in saying these Steelers uniforms are some of, if not the ugliest uniforms I’ve ever seen.

After their scripted opening 70 yard TD drive, #Browns had a mere 143 yards of offense over their next 11 possessions. Pretty sure there wasn’t one completion where the ball travelled in the air more than 10 yards (Gabriel’s 2nd INT obviously travelled further).

He kind of had no choice. Browns had him under contract and told him they weren’t going to trade him.

#Browns arrive at the bye week at 2-6, which wouldn’t have surprised me if you told me before their season that would be their record. What may have surprised me was that they’d already gone to Gabriel and that we already know he’s not the answer at QB.

I didn’t think #Browns would win today (or even necessarily make it close) but despite 5 sacks from Myles (who was incensed st the end of the game), this was a rough game. Gabriel was clearly exposed and the offense continues to be ineffective in almost every aspect.

It’s why I could’ve talked myself into #Browns trading him this offseason for a big haul. If your offense blows, it kind of doesn’t matter if you have an elite defensive end and it’s not clear if Browns will have a good enough QB during Myles’ prime.
