Football Outsiders: Browns should sign Kirk Cousins
February 25, 2016Joe Johnson officially waived by Nets
February 25, 2016Anderson Varejao, much to the chagrin of a great many Cavs fans, is now a Golden State Warrior. He played his first game for the Dubs last night against the Heat in Miami. He didn’t play particularly well: one point, three rebounds, and three fouls in 10 minutes. The play that may draw the most attention was one on which Varejao didn’t do anything (not much, at least).
Here’s what happened: Stephen Curry was defending Dwyane Wade in semi-transition. Heat center Hassan Whiteside — 7-foot, 265-pound Hassan Whiteside — set a monster screen, leaning into it for good measure. Varejao, who was defending Whiteside, either didn’t call the screen out or didn’t do so with enough urgency to alert Curry. The 190-pound Curry wound up flat on the court.

No foul was called, but Golden State wound up with the ball after Wade fumbled it away. Steph was fine, however. He scored 42 points against Miami, including a 40-footer just before halftime and a go-ahead three with 39 seconds left that all but sealed a Warriors win.
The larger question remains, however. Is Anderson Varejao committed to helping his new team win another NBA Championship? Or is he merely a plant sent by LeBron, Dan Gilbert, and the Cavs to destroy Golden State’s golden boy?
More will be revealed…

This is how the Cavs beat the Warriors! David Griffin, you are a genius!
I hate that scrawny punk more than any other NBA player.
I can watch that loop all day long.
Should we make the Finals, I fully expect KI and Delly to do this to Curry with TT…EVERY.SINGLE.GAME.
OF COURSE! It’s so obvious now!
(He was trained by agent Hillis.)
Wow, you must really have a sh!tty life if that’s what gets you off. When you’re on top every nobody takes pleasure in seeing you fall.
Still won’t help. Cavs will lose by 15 instead of 20.
oh, okay
Must be one of those lifelong since 2015 GS fans.
Hey, they know the struggle, man!
That Varejao picture is begging for an early-’90s school-picture-laser-backdrop treatment
What is shi!ttier, disliking a player, or trolling another teams blogs? hmm…
I love when a new person tries to take over a blog. I’m sure one of the mods will handle it.
Don’t be that guy. Nobody means stuff like that seriously on here. Nobody actually tried to kill John Elway with a voodoo doll, a jar of honey, and some fire ants back in the late 80’s, either. And it didn’t work anyway, I mean if anybody HAD tried.
I think Curry slammed into Whiteside to send a message. If it were Delly he would have gotten called for an offensive foul, lol.
