Dallas Mavericks 108, Cleveland Cavaliers 102: Courtside Tweets

We're storming the court like

Don't ride motorcycles if your name is Tubby. This has to be some kind of rule, bro.

You're probably waiting for some ridiculous motorcycle story, but I don't have one. Yes, this is disappointing to me, too.

We got Highlights

FINAL: #Cavs fall to @dallasmavs 108-102. Kyrie 23pts, 5asts. Tristan 17pts, 11rbs. [BLOG]: http://t.co/bqsmyWXU80 pic.twitter.com/d0LgEacyRj

Kyrie to LeBron! https://t.co/6Z8suW8JlD

This didn't count because Monta Ellis is a turd and tried to take a charge on a 3 on 1 fast break. Valid play, but still an eye roller.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA RT @crabdribbles: Well, this is awkward https://t.co/slVBKIFd2L"

Close the Borders

Cleveland has imported a lot of insidious things from Canada lately. Tristan Thompson, Dwight Powell, and Anthony Bennett included. There is a larger, scarier threat out there though. A superfan who's mere presence is as damaging as anything this universe has to offer. Yes, I obviously mean Drake.

Really. We need to step up our Drake awareness. RT @danecarbaugh: Yo drake came out here and used a lint roller https://t.co/bhJkC8lqMN

Keep Drake out. Every citizen is responsible for taking up arms against this horrible threat. If you see Drake within 40 miles of the Cleveland Cavaliers, do whatever you have to do.

Speaking of Anthony Bennett.... oof...

Another video angle of Jabari Parker's spin-and-slam on Bennett. Not gonna lie, I feel a little weak in the knees. http://t.co/qeULOCwkNe

Ah yes, former Cavaliers coach Byron Scott. He coaches the Lakers now, of course. They're 1-19 or something from three in their last three games. Byron thinks they're stupid or something. The Cavs took 37, LAST NIGHT. It's kind of crazy. The Lakers don't defend either. It's weird.

@Cosmis You bought the Byron Scott Edition.

I do not miss you, Byron.

Nothing is going Kobe Bryant's way

Yes. Shockingly, a lot of people found this disrespectful. Also shockingly, it is kind of funny to read.

Can't wait to see the 39 players ESPN has ranked ahead of Kobe Bryant...such disrespect. pic.twitter.com/vTJHNJ664l

— Sports Pics (@AmazingSprtsPic) October 16, 2014

the level of disrespect is ridiculous, Kobe being ranked 40 is literal blasphemy, you can't deny greatness, NUMBERS DONT LIE

— kwe (@kweleserrell) October 17, 2014

39 players ranked higher than Kobe Bryant in the NBA Rank Polls, okay they might as well not even have ranked him at all, that's disrespect.

— Sincere Ramsahai (@sincereramsahai) October 17, 2014

SOMEONE PLEEEEAAAASE NAME 39 PLAYERS BETTER THAN KOBE?! CAUSE IMMA LET YOU KNOW NOW HE NOT #40 YALL NOT GONE DISRESPECT MY FAVORITE PLAYER!

— Chef Sullivan (@QuesSullivan_3) October 16, 2014

Kobe Bryant on the top 40 let alone the anything past the top 5 is utter disrespect to the black mamba and his fans

— Jalal Mir (@_jalalmir) October 16, 2014

The "and his fans" part of this one really got me laughing. There are literally millions of these. Just search "Kobe disrespect" and laugh away.

I always favorite the tweets I'm gonna use, so one day someone is gonna break up into the comments and be like NO YOU CREEP. My loss is your gain, internet.

GOOD GAME, TEAM

You've all done well today. Give yourself a pat on the back and bring it in.

Nobody likes Paul Pierce anyway.

The Cavs play again tomorrow against the Chicago Bulls. We will be here with #Analysis. If that isn't enough for you, just head to Tinder.
