Andy! ’te! ’bron!

Finally, something to get the crowd into the game. Defense => Easy Offense.

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:20 PM CST reply actions

Yeah that was nice. LeBron anticipates the passes so well.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

Lets get going now!
“Wig Night” should be every night if AV plays like this.

So…the lights are on at the Pro? I know we all miss the Tribe, but really?

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:22 PM CST reply actions

This start by the Cavs is making it easy not to miss the Tribe too badly.

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 7:22 PM CST up reply actions

And the fact that the Browns suck.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

by Buckeye Brad on Dec 5, 2008 7:23 PM CST up reply actions

The Cavs are easing my Browns pain.

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:24 PM CST up reply actions

I’m super bummed they are this bad, but back to the CAVS!

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:24 PM CST up reply actions

Werd.

Andy 5/5

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:23 PM CST reply actions

Boooooobieeeeeee!

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 7:25 PM CST reply actions

An amazing half of ball for AV.

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:26 PM CST reply actions

What will happen if Andy gets 30?

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:26 PM CST reply actions

He will be signed to play QB for the Browns

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:26 PM CST up reply actions

Who is the backup QB on Sun?

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 7:27 PM CST up reply actions

cribbs then gradkowski

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:28 PM CST up reply actions

Gradkowski I believe

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:28 PM CST up reply actions

Either or we are screwed

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:28 PM CST up reply actions

It’s going to get very ugly

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:29 PM CST up reply actions

ESPN is so shocked by the offensive force they have just seen that they report on it nonstop Andy coverage for the next 72 hours, thus convincing the Knicks to abandon all of their scheming for 2010 and pull the trigger on a trade to acquire Andy at any cost (trading each of the next two seasons first round picks for him).

Oh wait, I forgot. Isaiah’s not there anymore.

I meant to reply to the above question, but didn’t

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:34 PM CST up reply actions

I love that Ben split the free throws, and didn’t hit rim on either one.

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:30 PM CST reply actions

It’s good to see Boobie off to a 2/2 start from deep. He is off to only a 26% start to the season from three. His shooting stroke takes all worry away. With a shot like that, he will be around 44% when all is said and done.

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:34 PM CST reply actions

Lets come out strong

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:51 PM CST reply actions

Anyone watching POR @ BOS?

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 7:52 PM CST reply actions

flipping to it

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:54 PM CST up reply actions

How’s it looking?

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:55 PM CST up reply actions

Close!

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 7:55 PM CST up reply actions

Those young guys in Portland are going to be making waves in the league for years.

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 7:57 PM CST up reply actions

Boston is so impressive defensively.

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 7:58 PM CST up reply actions

Not close any more.

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 8:11 PM CST up reply actions

POR, 36-35 late in the 2nd.

by JulioBernazard on Dec 5, 2008 7:57 PM CST up reply actions

Mo Willie! Zeeeee!

I completely convinced myself that during that Guitar Hero Safe Auto commercial, that the jingle was going to be the man’s vocals. Even though the karaoke part was being sung by a lady. That’s just the attention to detail I expect from Safe Auto.

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 8:02 PM CST reply actions

Your observation is a good one. And the main reason I don’t watch commercials….fearful of being sucked in.

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 8:07 PM CST up reply actions

Might have to put the deep bench guys in for the beginning of the 4th quarter. The starters probably forget what it’s like to play during that time.

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 8:15 PM CST reply actions

Do you think the last couple games a Pavlovian response has come from Jackson and Hickson. The fourth quarter starts and they just instinctively start taking off their warmups?

by Chief WaDrew on Dec 5, 2008 8:23 PM CST up reply actions

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 8:31 PM CST reply actions

Can we look at the significance of this? LBJ has 6 points on 3/11 shooting, and we are winning by 25 with 5 to play. Granted, the Pacers aren’t the 56 Philadelphia Warriors, but this is impressive.

by dawginphilly on Dec 5, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions

Completely agree. It was always nice to be surprised by the guys who would step up on the occasional night in years past. This year, everyone shows up every night. Very encouraging.
