Its "Brinks." I only know that because I designed one. :smug:

But you are right; this win probably cost Isaiah multiple millions of dollars.

Pavement made sure I only think of it as Brinx. But I will say Brinks to make you happy.

Yeah, I hope it's not. He was grimacing and hobbling when it happened in the Wiz series and he looked weird after that. Hopefully doesn't need surgery

LBJs played 1,271 NBA games and has never done an 11- point/6+ turnover game. LBJ passing the ball around the perimeter like it was a bomb about to go off. :laffo: Get that game five concession $$$.

I could've gotten home a half hour earlier and seen this but yeah the way this playoffs has gone made me think "eh, it's over" when I saw the lead.

Pavement was an indie rock band who released a few critically respected albums in the mid 90s. I'd link the Brinx Job song but it'd be a bad first impression of the band. It'd be like saying "whoa you've never heard of Wu Tang? You gotta check this out." then playing one of the skits from between the songs. Here's a haunting photograph for the finals

I don't know why a good portion of their teams, fanbase always play this crap of being the "underdog". Hell ESPN picked them to win Game 1 via some stats method they used. (I think the series as well, though I could be wrong). ESPN loves them, and gives air time to much of their media personalities. For some unknown reason? They have a significant amount of sports bloggers out there too annoying the poo poo out of people.

This isn't like Milwaukee or something.

I hope to christ cavs fans aren't doing this poo poo in the year 2017 all things considered. If we are? Please kick our asses. The only team who's fanbase share a legit grievance right now would be the Browns, and their stupidity is actually worthy of being mocked at this point.

Oh i did.

I was a douche bag. I'll own that poo poo. Kinda what I implied in it.

I saw the cavs win a title in person in downtown cleveland, and I saw the tribe come within an inning of winning the world series in a year I didn't think they'd make it past the divisional round. Can't really use the "woe is us" poo poo any more save for...again, the Browns. (Who I'll probably bitch about until they start stumbling upon .500 records or something).

But I'd eye roll at anyone at this point, with this team declare the cavs "underdogs" or "no one believed in them". cuz they sure as poo poo ain't any of those and havn't been since June of last year. No reason for that anymore. None.
