Hello everyone and welcome to today's 'Fear the Newsletter', where we cover everything that happened, somehow, during a dull Friday night game.
If you have questions, compliments, concerns or complaints, drop me an e-mail at christopherwmanning@gmail.com. - Chris Manning, Editor at Fear the Sword
The Cavs (predictably) wrecked the Heat last night. Basically, the Cavs are really good and the Heat, well, aren't. But in the same game, LeBron James moved into ninth place on the NBA's all-time scoring list (he's 11th in NBA/ABA history, FWIW) and then praised Kyrie and Kevin Love by saying his two co-stars playing the best basketball of their careers.
For a rather mundane Friday, that's a lot happening. And the Cavs play again tonight against the Hornets on another Hardwood Classics night. And the Cavs' kicks will be again fire.
If you're looking for a podcast to listen to, check out 'Locked on Cavaliers', a Cavs podcast in the 'Locked on Podcast' network. It's hosted by me and you can subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher and AudioBoom. Also follow the show on Twitter @LockedOnCavs and like it on Facebook. Also, drop an e-mail or mailbag question to the show at lockedoncavs@gmail.com. The show will be back Monday with a mailbag featuring a few Fear the Sword staffers.
Also, don't let "2016" distract you from the fact the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, buy a limited edition 3-1 lead lapel pin and sticker pack from ImSorryMarkJackson, a merch store by our own Daniel Rowell. While you are there you can pick up a Doris Burke pin or a Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy stickers. All proceeds go directly to Dan's donut-filled diet and art. Go to http://bit.ly/sorrymark and buy Dan's pins so Dan can buy donuts.
