Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

I am not used to the Cavs being so disorganized, so inept with the ball, embarrassingly missing so many bunnies...
For the last few years we got used to the ball movement.. snapping passes.. Now, in the most important time, it's primarily iso ball...
This is a veteran team but there's not a smoothness to the shots. There's a tension in the stroke.
Detroit bench 48; Cavs 19.. Atkinson playing Mr Cool pisses me off.. We need a hostile Atkinson

I think we're done. I don't see it tomorrow.. The basketball gods are mad at us

2026 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

Doesn't matter how many teams in playoffs. If it's 100, then #101 & #102 are going to moan and groan about 'unfairness'. The more teams added, the greater the emphasis will be on the single-bye, or double-bye. Less wear and tear on the bodies, but also less actual gametime play. First year, all the byes lost. Don't remember for certain, but three of the four byes lost, only Indiana won, but won it all. Not enough data points to draw significant conclusions, but tinkering with the numbers on an annual basis obviates anything relevant to BE concluded. To me, would seem to point more to super-conferences, as the W-L record would be put to a more psychic test, and would favor the 'old-line' powers, and let schedulers for the conferences push cupcake schedules on the likely candidates. Certainly don't have the crystal ball to see how would work out, nor the eloquent word-smithing to push any point, so just gonna sit back with my adult beverage and watch my Buckeyes play it out each and every year.

Technology Gone Wild: Rise of the Machines

I took a Waymo when I was in Atlanta.

We did not end up in a loop but it was a pretty mind-blowing experience. Sort of felt like I was on an amusement ride.
Best advice I ever got on BuckeyePlanet was "ALWAYS use Chicago Private Car"

Now... I know what you're thinking.

Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

A quick, easy “food as fuel” lunch I’ve been doing fairly regularly is an omelette made from a cup (half a carton from Costco’s six pack) of egg whites plus one whole egg for color and flavor, a little melted cheddar or feta cheese, and sautéed broccoli and onion, sometimes with some cauliflower mixed in. I’ve got a nonstick pan that lets me do it without using any butter or oil, and tarragon from the garden, pepper, and a little salt makes it taste pretty good. Sometimes I add half an avocado. Here’s a shot:
I make a similar omelette of 2 eggs + egg whites from Costco several times a week. Sometimes with a baked potato, sometimes with buttered toast, sometimes all alone. Only meal I've had so far today, in fact.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Login to view embedded media Wasn't sure where to put this. But it's an interesting dilemma for many schools

Meh, I obviously feel bad for the kids but the separation of academics and athletics in this country is likely going to be better for both parties in the long run. Long time coming.

Bryce "L" Underwood (QB ttun, for now)

Peppers hype was absurd. He got Caleb Downs he knows everything hype but was mid at everything he did instead. It's like cool go be a coach then
As a Browns fan, my favorite part was that he played LB, CB, and SS in college. So the Browns threw him back there as punt returned on every single play. Like... "We drafted you, so we have to play you. Go play deep safety so you don't get in the way of our real defenders."

NHL Buckeye Tracker


DOBES HAS THEM THINKING '86 (AND '71). You're forgiven for not knowing who Jakub Dobes is, but after today, you're not.

Dobes, for those who don't know, is the starting goalie for the Montreal Canadiens, and right now, he's the king of that city, which – apologies to Toronto, Moscow, and Stockholm – is the hockey capital of the universe.

Jakub Dobes is also a Buckeye.

And he was damn good while in Columbus for two seasons, finishing with a 2.29 goals-against average and .926 save percentage in 74 starts on the way to capturing Big Ten Goaltender of the Year, co-Freshman of the Year, First-Team All-Big Ten and several other awards.

But that was then. Now, the rookie goaltender is getting glow-ups from The Athletic.

With his team's 6-2 win over a very good Buffalo Sabres team in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Second Round Sunday night, Dobes passed Carey Price for the most wins by a rookie goalie in a single playoff in the cap era. The Habs now own a 2-1 series lead, and a closeout of the Sabres would make Dobes just the fifth rookie goalie to reach eight postseason wins since 2006.

Montreal has a special relationship with rookie goalies who have won the Stanley Cup. Ken Dryden did it in 1971. Patrick Roy pulled it off in 1986. Both of those goalies are Hockey Hall of Famers and both have retired jersey monuments outside Montreal's Bell Centre.

With his 2.13 goals-against average and .918 save percentage in the postseason, he might be on his way to that kind of status, as well.
