... here  or tweet him @joevardon. Hey, Joe: I understand why the Cavs sit Le Bron and Kyrie during the regular season but why don't they do it for Tristan, too? He's just as important to the team as anyone. Shouldn't the big picture apply to him as well over his personal playing streak? - Dan, Canton. Hey, Dan: Yes, the big picture should apply to Tristan Thompson. Also, his playing streak is absolutely important to him and the reason he doesn't get the same opportunities to rest given to Le Bron James and Kyrie Irving. Thompson's streak sits at 433 consecutive games played - it's the longest such streak in Cavs history and easily the longest active streak in the NBA. But the all-time streak, which belongs to A. C.

... sadly shows that Midwesterners overall aren't very happy. The Happiest State in America Seems Logical — But the Runner Up Is a Shocker. Khloe also says she loves #CLE because, "It’s a normal routine life. I love to cook, so I get to cook dinner every day." Perhaps it's that Cleveland's hotspot restaurants might not be up to L. A. standards — or perhaps the family vibe (or lack of paparazzi) has her wanting to stay in. What else does she love about the home of the Cavs?

"He's been in the right position and just have to keep showing him film and keep working with him on that.". The endless film sessions between Thompson and Lue have centered on Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat and ironically, Andrew Bogut, who joined the Cavaliers Monday night before a left leg injury that has cast doubt on his future with the team.
