Leadoff with Lee 4.28.15 #KevinLove #ShaneRay #NBAPlayoffs #Indians

By @cleeverizon

Cavs forward Kevin Love has been ruled out for the Eastern Conference semifinals against the winner of the Bulls/Bucks series after suffering a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum.

The Cavs released the following statement last night:



The NBA has suspended Boston center Kelly Olynyk one game for the arm bar that caused Love's injury. Olynyk's suspension will be served during the 2015-2016 season since the Celtics are out of the playoffs.

Cleveland guard J.R. Smith also has been suspended two games for the hit he issued to Jae Crowder. That swing earned Smith a flagrant 2 by the refs and automatic ejection from the game. Also, Cavs reserve big man and enforcer Kendrick Perkins was issued a $15K.

- Another start for Corey Kluber, another loss for the Indians. Kluber relinquished 10 hits and 6 runs, 4 earned, through 6.1 innings in the Tribe’s 6-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The lone “highlight” of the game was Mike Aviles 2 run homer in the 5th to tie the game before the Royals poured in 4 more runs in the 6th and 7th innings. The Indians will give it another try tonight at 6pm as Trevor Bauer takes the bump against Jeremy Guthrie.

- Indians outfielder Nick Swisher is one step closer to returning to the big club. Swisher will join Class AAA Columbus in Rochester, N.Y. to continue his recovery from double knee surgery. Swisher will DH Tuesday and play right field Wednesday. He'll take Thursday off and play right field on consecutive days Friday and Saturday. Swisher is expected to return to the Tribe next week.

-The Texas Rangers acquired outfielder Josh Hamilton from the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named later or cash. Hamilton, who turns 34 next month, struggled in two seasons after signing a five-year, $125 million contract with the Angels, who then sought to cut him loose after he admitted to a drug relapse in a February meeting with Major League Baseball officials.

-UFC fighter Jon "Bones" Jones has officially been named a suspect in a hit-and-run investigation. There were previous rumors of cocaine being found, which have been stated as false. A marijuana pipe, however, was found in Mr. Jones rental car involved in the investigation. Over the weekend, a woman was struck in a hit-and-run accident, and Jon Jones was identified by a police officer fleeing from the scene on foot. Jones is reportedly expected to be charged with a felony in connection with the hit-and-run.

- The Browns have reportedly have had talks with Washington over the past week about potentially moving up to the 5th pick. They’ve touched base with most Top 10 teams in this years draft.                  

- University of Central Florida Breshad Perriman had dinner last night in Orlando with General Manager Ray Farmer and other Browns executives. Perriman is 6’2” 215lbs and runs a 4.26 40 yard dash. In addition to visits Devante Parker and Amare Cooper and dinner with Breshad Perriman in Orlando, the Browns met with West Virginia receiver Kevin White the night before his pro day.

- Missouri Defensive lineman/outside linebacker Shane Ray was arrested for marijuana possession. The projected top 10 pick in this week’s NFL Draft was speeding in Cooper County. The Missouri State Trooper smelled the odor of marijuana (not burning) and some was found during a search. Ray was cooperative with the trooper and was released on a signature summons. He was given a warning for the speeding charge. His court date is set for June 30th. Ray racked up 22.5 tackles for loss and 13 sacks this past season for Mizzou. 

- The Brooklyn Nets tied up their series with the Atlanta Hawks at 2 games apiece after their 120-115 win in overtime. Deron Williams scored 16 points in the 4th quarter for the Nets and finished with 35 for the game. Brook Lopez added 26 points and 10 rebounds. Jeff Teague and Demarre Carroll each scored 20 points and recorded 11 and 9 rebounds respectfully for the Hawks. Kyle Korver had an off night, going 6/16 shooting and 4/13 on 3 pointers. Game 5 will be Wednesday in Atlanta.

-The Milwaukee Bucks upset the Chicago Bulls 94-88. Michael Carter-Williams scored 22 points, with 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Khris Middleton added 21 points for the Bucks. Derrick Rose had a poor shooting night going 5/20 for 13 points. The Bulls were led in scoring by Pau Gasol who had 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jimmy Butler went a dismal 5/21 for 20 points. The Bucks forced the Bulls to turn the ball over with their stifling defense 13 times, scoring 24 points off of them. The Bulls lead the series 3-2 with Game 6 on Thursday night in Milwaukee.

- The Portland Trail Blazers also staved off elimination, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 99-92 behind Damian Lillard’s 32 points on 12/23 shooting (12 points in the 4th quarter) and 7 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge chipped in 18 points and 12 rebounds, with Meyers Leonard adding 13 points, 13 rebounds. On the Memphis side of things, Marc Gasol has 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Point guard Mike Conley missed the game due to facial surgery. Game 5 of this series will be Wednesday night, as Memphis tries to close out the series.

- The NCAA is considering changing the game shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds. It's a minor step in improving gameplay, but definitely a step in the right direction.

-Be on the lookout later today for Browns React where we cover the Cleveland Browns draft picks in the 2014 NFL Draft.

-The Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 94-82. King James had a game high 22 points, Chris Bosh added 18. Deron Williams couldn't hit a shot, going 0-9 from the field with 0 points for the Nets. Mirza Teletovic set a Nets playoff record, hitting six 3-pointers scoring a total of 20 points off the bench. Miami leads the series 2-0. Game 3 will be Saturday in Brooklyn.

-The Spurs topped the Blazers 114-97 to go up 2-0 in the series. As always, the Spurs played a great overall team game with Kawhi Leonard leading the way with 20 points. San Antonio had 7 players score double figures. Other notables for the Spurs, Tony Parker had a double-double scoring 16 points and 10 assists. The Blazers shot a dismal 43% from the field. Nicolas Batum had a team high 21 points for the Blazers. Game 3 will be on Saturday.

-The Indians racked up 15 hits in their 9-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins yesterday afternoon at Progressive field. Asdrubal Cabrera, Michael Brantley, David Murphy and Mike Aviles all had 3 or more hits in the game. Cabrera and Brantley both hit home runs for the Tribe. Justin Masterson improved to 2-1 on the season with the win. He went 6.1 innings giving up 4 hits and 2 earned runs in the series finale. The Indians open up their weekend series versus the Rays in Tampa on Friday at 7 PM.

-Kevin Durant was named NBA MVP yesterday. He received 119 of 125 first place votes. The other 6 votes went to Miami Heat star Lebron James. Durant averaged 32 PPG 7 REB and 5.5 AST this season. Kevin Durant also won the scoring title. He is the first player since Allen Iverson to win MVP and the scoring title in the same season. Iverson accomplished his feat in the 2000-2001 season.

-The Golden State Warriors fired head coach Mark Jackson after finishing 51-31 and losing to the LA Clippers in 7 games in the NBA playoffs. Jackson led the Warriors to back to back playoff appearances for the first time in over 20 seasons. Honestly I don't see how a talent like this can be fired after a great season and taking the potential Western Conference Champions to 7 games. I'm not sure if there was conflict in the front office or management wanted to go in another direction. One thing for sure Jackson has two things working for him. Hopefully, find another coaching job or just go back to the television booth where the Clippers hired him from.

-The Cavs, Browns and Indians sin tax won! Voters came out to the polls Tuesday and voted yes on Issue 7, to pass the 20 year extension of the tax that would help towards the improvements of Downtown Cleveland's stadiums, arena and surrounding areas. Naysayers have said the tax should not have been renewed. But the tax payers didn't have to pay any additional money. Opponent's arguments were asking why should they renew the tax, when the leases are over before the tax. Cleveland loves their teams and they won't be going anywhere with the improvements that are sure to come. #goodkarma

- Cleveland starting pitcher Josh Tomlin made his season debut and picked up his first win, in the 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Tomlin went 6.2 innings with 4 strikeouts and only 1 walk. Nick Swisher may have found his bat again, going 2 for 4 from the dish with 1 RBI and a run scored. Bryan Shaw earned his first save of the year.

-The Miami Heat knocked off any rust they might have had immediately in their 107-86 blowout over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1. LeBron James led the way with 22 points on 10-15 shooting from the field. Ray Allen added 19 points off the bench for the Heat.

-Over the past few days the sports story that everyone has been talking about is Donald Sterling vs. The NBA. Or should I say Donald Sterling vs. The World. I have heard people make the statements, being outraged that Sterling is being forced to sell the L.A. Clippers about comments he made in the privacy of his own home. The problem is he is just a one of 29 other owners which has it's own governing body and by-laws. Sterling's comments fall under conduct that is detrimental to the league. And under this by-law, he has agreed to not make such comments in which he did. Now you may ask how can the league force him to sell his team? It's going to take a 3/4 majority vote to oust him as owner and from preliminary opinion, he will lose the vote 29-0. If Donald Sterling refuses to accept any offers or bids for the Clippers, the NBA has the right to take ownership of the team and sell it to an appropriate bidder/bidders and or management group. What about the minority owners of the Clippers? They will receive fair compensation once the sale of the team is complete.

Who wants to buy the Clippers? The following names have been floated around as heading a management group. P.Diddy, Dr. Dre, Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya and even Oprah Winfrey. Do you see a common theme with people I mentioned? They are all minorities. To think, how shitty Donald Sterling must feel to have to sell his team to a minority. Do I feel bad for Sterling? Hell no! He is going to sell his team for over $1 billion dollars, when he only paid $12 million for the team in 1981. Who do I feel bad for? I feel bad about the players who played for him, Doc Rivers and his coaching staff, the front office personal, the Clippers organization as a whole, the city of Los Angeles, America's youth and last but not least, my OWN kids. Yes my kids are half black and half white and this is 2014. They, nor anyone should have to deal or experience racism. You are entitled to your opinion about people regardless if they are black, white, gay or straight, dog or cat. But if you are a public figure like Donald Sterling, you deserve everything you are about to lose. But I will leave you with this, "EITHER LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE".
