Kind of surprised the Rockets were able to come back and win. They still played a pretty sloppy game. Thankfully the Clips were just worse, especially in that second half.

Was it as sloppy as the Bulls? I loved the way the Cavs looked the first 35 minutes but Bulls first quarter was pathetic. They were bouncing balls off their own feet, throwing jumpers off the side of the backboard, and by game's end their starters only shot 36%. That team has been so hit or miss these playoff it really is confusing.
It was pretty sloppy, but Harden decided to show up in the 4th. Harden and Howard are amazing players, but sometimes their personalities tend to take over the whole team and you wonder if they even realize the games are important.

Howard has looked really good from a health standpoint though. I don't care for the guy (same as most people) but I did miss watching him play like that.
Oh he's playing great, haven't seen him play like this since Orlando. I just mean the whole team's attitude at times is very lackadaisical, like they're playing a pick up game. That could be more on McHale, though.

Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. They do look dangerous when clicking on all cylinders though.

I saw it right before they took it down. It's a video of a man and woman in their kitchen when the "Time of my life" song from dirty dancing comes on. He's wearing a Cavs shirt and she has a red shirt on with her apron covering it up. They dance for a minute like in the movie, and just before she runs over to him so he can pick her up, she takes the apron off to reveal a Bulls shirt. When he sees it, he picks her up and very deliberately throws her to the ground, then berates her for being a Bulls fan. She clutches her elbow and leg on the ground in pain. In the next shot, she's sitting on the couch with him, an ice bag to her head and now wearing a Cavs shirt, and apologizing.
I get what they were going for with the Dirty Dancing spoof, but wow did they botch that execution. And apparently they played this during the game last night.

Everyone knows if you want to joke about domestic violence you have to show the woman as the one hitting the man, jeez

They could have so easily had it go a totally harmless way and convey the same meaning
Man spins partner in super cool dance move. Apron comes off mid spin, revealing Bulls shirt. Disgusted, he aborts the move leaving her to spin out of control and stumble. Boom. Marketed.

Yeah, I don't think they were intentionally promoting domestic violence or anything, it was just badly, badly executed and tone-deaf. Really all they had to do was have him see the Bulls shirt and step out of the way in surprise, and she crashes into something on her own momentum. Would have been more lighthearted and also would have gotten the exact same message across. But instead, he very purposefully picks her up and throws her.
It's just amazing that several people probably had to be involved in this production, and all the way to the point of showing it at the game and uploading it to Vimeo, not one person stopped and said, "Hey guys, maybe this isn't quite the message we want to get across here."
it's bad enough that he throws her, but to follow it up with "don't make the same mistake she did" and her apologizing is like...jesus, how did people think this was worth doing?
also: jesus, that "go cavs" at the end is supremely douchey, like...wow, a+ effort on that, dude

The Bud Light thing is not nearly as bad considering the context. Yes it was poorly worded but it's clearly part of their "Up for Whatever" campaign.
As for the Cavs thing the only thing that exceeds my disgust is curiosity on how the Hell did they think that would be a good idea?

It's exacerbated by two of the worst free throw shooters in history squaring off.
I laughed way too hard at this

All of a sudden the horse-murdering tweet doesn't look so bad now.
EDIT - Well apparently the Cabs office agreed. They removed that fast.

Dunno, he turned up in g1 of this series. I think he's just really inconsistent.
and it's gone

I don't understand how you screw it up so badly.
Well they are a team in Cleveland so...
nah it's still really stupid
both are pretty dumb and contribute to culture of normalizing violence against women, imo
clearly these companies need a SJW gate checker to tell them when joking about that stuff might not be a good idea :P
omg that first one made me feel so gross
go blue
