Farewell, Timofey Mozgov

[Simon]

Looks like that Mozgov Twitter account isn't fake at all.

LeBron just retweeted his Tweet.

I'm still not sure it's real. LeBron tagged Timo on instagram and the tag didn't carry over to Twitter. Plus the cavs said it was a fake and Timo only had instagram and Facebook.
Here's the tweet with the link to instagram. The tags for most of the other guys on Twitter transferred, even though their usernames are different on instagram:

@Thelorn - what part of this did you disagree with?

Didn't know I did, I undid it, phones man.

So literally every other game, reporters are either asking about how Mozgov or JR Smith "changed the team since he got traded" ?

Lebron and Blatt basically give the same answers every single time.

So what gives ? Do other teams reporters not read other clippings ? Can they only write about the questions they asked themselves ?

Around 95% of beat reporters seem to write articles only surrounding the questions they ask themselves. They also often have their angle set before they start asking. Very few step back and give a bigger picture. I think it has to do with having to work on deadline. Perhaps professional courtesy or laziness are involved sometimes.

Few writers have the luxury to sit back and opine: Windhorst? Pluto? Grantland folks? And sometimes they have their own axe to grind.

Timo gets hammered like crazy when he is getting the ball in the paint, refs don't give him ANY calls and guards are just all over his arms. Then on the other end, he regularly gets ticky tack fouls.

Getting real annoying the lack of respect he gets.

Often seems to be the only tough player on the court.

LeBron effect. Oh you have LeBron on your team? Let's level the playing field by not calling fouls on your opponent.

Mozerati! Of course! How did we not see that before? I feel like Timo's nicknames deserve some sort of reference list:

• MozGod
• Mozilla
• Mozerati
• Mozoltov Cocktail
• Mozquito
• Mozbreath
• aniMozity
• The Moz
• MozGOAT
• Moz-A-Tron
• MozDef
• Mozel Tov
• Mozes
• SupreMoz
• atMoz-fear

Have I left anything out ?

 

[tocov]

Those are only the ones with 'Moz'.
He has some T-Mo related too

I'd love a photoshop of Moz's head on the Miz holding up a title belt. It would be my new sig.

atMoz Fear is great. Really rolls off the tongue in true Russian style.

At moz= fear

....of rejection.

T-Monster is like something out of Sesame Street. But I wouldn't say I will never use it.
