Game #82 Washington Wizards @ Cleveland Cavaliers (Wed 8PM)

[Cavatt]

Really appreciate that Joe wanted to come back and end his career on his own terms. He is amazing the way he seems so casual and gives the call as it is happening. I wish they had done that 2nd half broadcast more often.

Good play down the stretch. For all the cruddy play this season, the Cavs really got the confidence and grittiness they needed down the stretch. Can't wait to see the new team next year carry that spirit over.

Oh no, we're tanking next season too. :chuckles:

Some of my favorite memories as a kid involve listening to Joe. Its going to be weird listening to somebody else.

Anyways, Go Cavs!

How does Gibson who got 10 points on 4 of 16 shooting; going 0-7 from 3 point range and end up with a +/- of +11? He had 3 assist, 1 steal, and 2 block shots, but I just can't understand how people put so much faith in the +/-. No way did Gibson result in +11 points.

Either way fun game. I really enjoyed hearing Tait. I've never got to listen to him with the game on TV before.

Yes, Virginia, there is a greatest of all time....

and his name is Joe Tait.

God bless you, Joe. Thank you for being the example of class and professionalism each and every night. You made Cavs basketball so much better.

How many radio announcers can carry a game ALONE the way Joe did?

GOAT

Lol man, you are such a Cavs-troll.

Just because we don't have LBJ doesn't mean we won't ever be good again until we get an LBJ like player.

You're... fucking with me right? I'm making fun of the idiots around here who were so vigorous in their want for us to tank this season. I'm sure they want us to tank next season.

Me? I want us to make the playoffs as the #1 seed.

So what are the ping pong balls looking like now for us that we won this game?

 

[BankShot]

The Joe Tait part was awesome and I like fiishing the season with some wins...but this was a total tank-job by the Wizards. There were a handful of teams at the 22-24 win level and the Wizards wanted to hang on to as many ping balls as possible...if Wall/Blatche play normal minutes, they win this game. Not a big deal overall, but we have all "witnessed" the nasty karma that comes with tanking, which is another reason that I'm glad that we finished the season playing hard and not just playing for the worst record.

Now I have a use for my # 23 jersey
JOE TAIT! on the back..

Hearing Mike Snyder say "Have a great summer" and then them playing a replay of Joe Tait saying "Have a Good Life everybody", sigh, depressing that I can't see Cavs basketball till November...
