All of this music is from Orange Is the New Black: Season 3. Even though Jenji Kohan has a flair for the dramatic, it was another heartfelt season with the girls in jail. Kohan humanizes each and every character, from the time the show begins with a theme song telling us to “Look at all their […]

Brad Ausmus Has No Idea What He’s Doing

Don’t Disrespect the Walk, Ausmus

We all got our tiny little collective-basketball hearts broken tonight in Cleveland. It wasn’t our fault, but it stings nonetheless. An early Cavalier jump-start showed some promise until the first quarter’s wheels fell off. A lot of nervous energy translated to too many turnovers and scattered defense, even letting 3-point shooters get open. It was 28-15 […]
Fourth Quarter Haunting Cavaliers
It’s been the same old song during the final minutes of each fourth quarter for the Cavaliers. They’re sitting back and watching themselves collapse instead of continuing to attack the rim. Golden State (at home) jumped out to an early 8-2 lead, forcing a David Blatt timeout. Blatt has to maintain that type of discipline […]

Cleveland Blows Golden Opportunity
The atmosphere was euphoric. The Cavaliers jumped out to a 7-0 start and their home crowd roared. Instead of riding that energy to a win, the series is tied going back to Cali. The 1st quarter was out of control. Even though shots fell at a blistering pace, it was not the Eastern Conference rhythm […]
