Live Thread: Cavs vs. Pacers (#ChChChanges)

2018-01-26 Off By EvilGenius

I still don’t know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
And every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I’ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Where’s your shame
You’ve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can’t trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I’m going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock ‘n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you’re gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can’t trace time

I was all set to write something salient about the trials and tribulations of the Cavaliers in this Live Thread… until I found the inherent irony in Tyronn Lue’s lip service about “changes” being on the way. Forgive me if I don’t subscribe to the idea that his minuscule rearranging of deck chairs in swapping out Jae Crowder for Tristan Thompson in the starting lineup will bear significant fruit. Then again, who knows? I mean the starting group has been so poor lately, what’s another bit more gum in the works for them with TT clogging up the paint like he does?

Three times were not a charm thus far this season against the Pacers (Cavs are 0-3)… so maybe a fourth? And, if not, then you have to believe that more seismic ch-ch-ch-ch-changes are on the way (the stalled George Hill deal notwithstanding). In any event, it’ll probably still be a while until things are Hunky Dory again in Cleveland…

Prediction: The more things (slightly) change… the more they probably stay the same… the Cavs turn and face the strange, watching the Pacers zoom by 115-107.

Catch the action (if you’ve nothing better to do with your Friday night) starting at 7:30pm EST on FSO, and check in to commiserate here… If nothing else, at least maybe you’ll see Dwayne Wade score 10 points to pass Larry Bird on the all time scoring list (wait, nevermind, he’s out for personal reasons)…

Then again, if you’d prefer The Thin White Duke over The King and his crew… enjoy…
