NBA 2024-25 Regular Season
Saturday, November 9, 2024 – Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse
IT WAS A BEATING!
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing with the efficiency of a Swiss watch and the professionalism of a corporate lawyer — and boy, did they serve up the Golden State Warriors a slice of humble pie!
With the Cavaliers strutting into halftime with a ridiculous lead of over 40 points, it’s safe to say the Warriors’ hopes of a comeback were about as realistic as me getting a date with Ryan Reynolds — not happening!
Now, let’s take a look at the stats. The Golden State Warriors have racked up 40 wins so far this season, while the Cavs, bless their cotton socks, are still scratching their way to 22 wins — clearly, they’ve been spending a bit too much time on Netflix instead of the court!
A Historic Rivalry
This isn’t just any game; it’s a rivalry etched in the annals of NBA history! Remember those finals where the Warriors elevated their game to a level known only to superheroes, winning three championships in 2015, 2017, and 2018? Meanwhile, the Cavaliers, like true underdogs, swiped their sole championship in 2016 — yes, the infamous 3-1 comeback. They made it look easier than taking candy from a baby; a baby with a broken arm, mind you!

Statistical Highlights
As we roll into season statistics, Luka Dončić has been scoring as if every hoop were an open invite to a party, while Tyrese Haliburton is dishing out assists like they’re complimentary mimosas at brunch. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry is still making three-pointers faster than I can finish a bad joke!
Statistics show that teams that finish first in the regular season often take home the NBA ring. It’s like being told you can use the last piece of cake — it builds confidence and momentum, helping players channel their inner Michael Jordan as they flare their nostrils and grab that all-important glory!
The Venue
The lively Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse has been the Cavaliers’ pride since 1994, acting as the key location for all their shenanigans — sporting and otherwise! It opened up as Gund Arena before anyone knew what a ‘quick loan’ was, and after a series of name changes that warrant their own investigative documentary, we’re here today with a venue that’s as appreciated as a well-placed snarky comment in a comedy set!
Conclusion
So there you have it, folks! The Cleveland Cavaliers, with all the elegance of a sumo wrestler in a tutu, took down the Warriors in a match that will be remembered long after the scoreboard turns off. But football fans need not worry; as any good comedian knows, the next set of jokes is only a tip-off away!

Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse opened in October 1994 as part of the Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex, along with Progressive Field, which opened in April of that same year. The venue replaced Richfield Coliseum as the region’s main entertainment facility and home of the Cavaliers, and supplanted Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center, which opened in 1991, as downtown Cleveland’s main concert and athletic venue. From its opening in October 1994 until August 2005, it was known as Gund Arena, after former Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund, who paid for the naming rights. After acquiring the majority of the Cavaliers in March 2005, Dan Gilbert purchased the naming rights in August 2005 and renamed the building Quicken Loans Arena in honor of his mortgage lending company Quicken Loans. In April 2019 it changed its name when Quicken Loans was renamed Rocket Mortgage, as part of the renovation and expansion of the facilities.
