  Marv Albert is my favorite NBA guy, but I love Harlan a lot also.
  
  I think he said "with the flamethrower". Which is just another way to say big shot, assassin, etc. He has a few
  of those.

  Off the top of my head... That's the best regular season Cavs game I can remember
• Sonofanump

  You all are welcome.
  
  I literally turned over and watched Wiz score 6 straight so I got pissed and turned it back. Checked back later and Cavs had taken a 3 point lead and Wiz scored another 6 unanswered. Turned away again until I assumed it was over....saw .3 left and Cavs ball....no shot.
  
  Watched none of OT but after shitty comedy was over turned to watch Kansas game and fucking bottom line showed 129-129 and in that few seconds changed to 130-129 in Wiz favor....so turned and avoided all updates until I knew it was over or double OT
  
  Hope you had a great time like_that, hope you others enjoyed.
  
  Fuck me.

  I don't remember all of your takes but I can't imagine you have one worse than this unless you think Gus Johnson sucks, lol.

  Love Gus.
  
  Don't really have much of a negative opinion on announcers. That was like the third Harlan game that he's annoyed me, so I'm officially off his bndwagon lol

  Lebron is not holding back on the media this season.

  Kyrie's Spur game, Cavs GSW Christmas game this season, and the Cavs Wiz game back in the day when we only had 6 healthy players and still pwned them are the others that first jumped to mind. Regardless, this is in top 5.

  Here comes my recency and personal bias...
  
  As far as REGULAR season games I think I would only choose Kyrie's 50 on the Spurs to watch over this game in person. The GSW Xmas game was awesome, but Lebron's miracle three gives this game the edge imo. Plus the Cavs won in OT without Lebron, which is a good team building moment. Another game I would put up there is Kyrie's first 50 point game against Portland. Lebron was out that game and it was pretty much Kyrie's coming out party as a legitimate star PG imo.
  
  As for the game last night, I can't say much about the defense, but both teams brought it offensively. Everybody was making buckets, even TT dropped 22 points. Korver hit some crucial shots as well and it's encouraging for playoff time. Beal was on fire last night and porter pulled a great game out of his ass. Other than the refs I actually think the worst game went to Kyrie. He was off all game and was just sloppy. I never count out Kyrie in clutch time though. There was a fan giving me shit that Wall is better and I told him to never count Kyrie out, if it comes down to crucial shots he will deliver. When Kyrie hit that 3 over Wall I looked back at the fan, shrugged my shoulders and told him "I told you."

  As shitty as kyrie played last night he came through in overtime and carried the cavs. He is just a straight assassin.

  Yup, that's what makes him great. Shitty game and then he just took over in OT.

  I was at the game as well. One of the best games I've ever seen in person.
  
  Was wondering this as well. Looked like TT yelled at the Ty and the ref was in the way so maybe the ref thought it was directed at him.
  
  Weird to see LBJ foul out. What a shot at the end though.

  Or would that be that 4 OT game the other night?

  I'm biased but hard to top last night's game. LBJ was dropping dimes all over the place; was fun to watch.

  Did that game go late on the east coast? I believe I was watching it around 730 mine time when it finished up.

  About 10:15. I just remember texting my dad to check to see if he stayed up to watch it. Luckily the old timer was able to hang in there and watched the whole thing.

  Yes. Learn how time zones work.
