Jarrett Allen was properly excluded from All-Star Game
Last night the Eastern Conference All-Star Reserves were announced on TNT’s pregame show. As you can expect there were many takes flying around social media about the snubs and who was wrongfully selected (cough cough Tyler Herro).
Among the discourse was the praise and jubilation that the Cleveland Cavaliers had three of its players crowned as worthy All-Stars. Those three are Donovan Mitchell, who was named a starter a few weeks ago, and Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, who are now joining him.
Where is Jarrett Allen?
This was something I saw floated around by many Cavaliers faithful. While it would have been nice and a cherry on the Cavaliers’ historical season sundae, it frankly was not deserved. I know writing this on a Cavaliers fan blog is worthy of stripping myself of being a “true fan” and blasphemy to the highest degree. The cold hard truth is that Jarrett Allen did not do enough to warrant a spot reserved for one of the best twelve players in the Eastern Conference this season.
Where should we begin with the case against Allen? Let’s start with those who felt Allen was snubbed with the main argument: How could Jarrett Allen not make it when the Cavaliers have the best record in the league?
Well, even though yes, Jarrett Allen is one the best players on the best team in the Eastern Conference, he simply hasn’t performed consistently enough to earn a spot over other teams’ top option.
Remember back in 2015 when the Atlanta Hawks had four All-Stars? The Hawks were also the best team in the Eastern Conference at the time. Have you since thought, man, that Kyle Korver’s season was astounding, one that will be remembered for all time? No? 12 points a game doesn’t scream All-Star? Well, how does 13.8 points and 10 rebounds per game sound?
Kenny Atkinson was a member of the coaching staff of the Hawks, so he has familiarity with the situation. When asked if he thought Allen would make it, he responded: “Yes, just because of our record. … I thought that with our historic start right? I thought it could turn out that way. You know I am a little disappointed at that.”
Allen is no doubt integral to the success of the Cavaliers but to state that because of the team’s success, it’s only right to honor Allen is a bridge too far for me. Now, you could introduce him as more deserving than say Pascal Siakam or Tyler Herro, I would say yes. That, however, is more an issue with the other players being selected than Allen being excluded. Players like Trae Young, LaMelo Ball, and Tyreese Maxey come to mind as more deserving than Allen.
It cannot also be understated that Allen hasn’t been as consistent as the stats would necessarily show. There have been stretches where Allen has been invisible on the offensive end. Despite leading the league in effective field goal percentage with 70.3%, Allen has had to be removed from closing game lineups for the Cavaliers. If your team cannot close games with an All-Star, I feel that is a pretty big detractor from the credibility of one’s case.
Remember in 2021 when Jarrett Allen was an All-Star for the overperforming Cleveland Cavaliers? Do you also remember that he was an alternate? Allen posted 16.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game for the Eastern Conference leaders and was originally omitted from the All-Star team. Only when James Harden removed himself from the contest was Allen inserted into the mix.
Now, people are clamoring for Allen with worse stats to make an All-Star team when the Cavaliers are once again overperforming. His role is similar, the numbers are worse, and the level of impact is the same. Why is the case stronger for Allen now than it was four years ago?
Allen would have better counting stats if there weren’t so many mouths to feed on the Cavaliers. However, the All-Star game isn’t one of the hypotheticals where one can project stats if donning a different uniform or under different circumstances. It’s about looking at the stats and facts in front of you. While Allen could still make the All-Star game as an alternate, the cold hard truth is that coaches around the league agreed with me that Jarrett Allen did not play at an All-Star level this season.
Many fans were disappointed to see Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen left off the roster for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game. However, when you take a closer look at his stats and performance this season, it becomes clear that he was properly excluded from the event.While Allen has proven to be a solid contributor for the Nets, averaging 12.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game, his numbers don’t quite stack up against some of the other big men in the Eastern Conference. Players like Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Bam Adebayo have put up consistently strong performances and have been key players for their respective teams.
Additionally, Allen’s impact on the court may not always show up in the box score. While he is a strong defender and rim protector, his offensive game still has room for improvement. With other players in the East putting up more impressive numbers on both ends of the court, it’s understandable why Allen was left off the All-Star roster.
In the end, while Jarrett Allen is a promising young player with a bright future ahead of him, his exclusion from the All-Star Game was the right decision based on his performance this season. Fans can look forward to seeing him continue to grow and develop as a player in the years to come.

The Browns Refuse to Tank Properly
Good morning, Cleveland Browns fans!
I have a confession to make.
I will not be watching the second half of the Browns-Ratbirds game live.
This will be the first time I can remember since the team’s return in 1999 that I will not be catching a regular season game live as it happens. I took off during the last half of a Ratbird ass-whupping of the Browns during Thursday Night Football from a bar a few years ago, but I listened to it live on the radio as I went home. But this will be the first time I’ve actively missed part of a game.
There’s a reason for it, of course. Tonight, my wife and I are celebrating our 38th(!) wedding anniversary and have had reservations at one of our favorite places on a Saturday night for weeks. For some reason, the nitwits at the NFL decided that watching the Ratbirds (who care about the game’s outcome) whomp a tanking Browns team (that doesn’t for the most part) merited a national Saturday late-afternoon / early-evening window.
As much as I’d like to see all four quarters of the Bailey Zappefest live, the second half will have to wait on DVR until the following day.
I hope you don’t think less of me for my bizarre priorities.
The Browns’ seeming lack of concern about beating the Ratbirds and thus moving backward in the draft could be seen in their choice of quarterback and their hustling of several key players to the IR before the game.
All this greatly offends the not-that-difficult-to-offend Mike Florio, who simply won’t abide all this tanking, offering that the Browns are doing it all wrong, because they should be trading off current players (read: Ward, Garrett, etc) to more critical teams for picks rather than losing games for draft position. Florio appears to be a tear-it-down-to-the-studs guy when it comes to the Browns.
Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski Florio believes this is because the Browns are boned for years by Watson’s cap numbers due to the admittedly awful deal for the quarterback. Berry and Stefanski need to accept this, sacrifice their jobs for another three-year plan while that contract disappears, and trade away their existing assets for future picks for a team that will compete in 2027.
Riiiiight. I’m sure that the team’s brain trust is all over that.
With content like this floating out there, is it any wonder so many Browns fans are wandering around with dark clouds over their heads, convinced the team is now and forever doomed, led astray by folks who don’t seem to understand the way the salary cap works as it applies to Deshaun Watson?
Mike Florio is hereby banned from the Structure of Stupid, where those of us who still hold some hope that the Browns can navigate their way to some success in the next couple of years are hunkered down, safe from the acid rain of invective being spewed by the Merchants of Doom. We’ve got a big-screen TV and a beer fridge, and no Death Eaters are allowed in. We may be stupid to have some hope, but leave us alone.
Of course, there’s no guarantee of success. There never is. But I’ve seen too many counter-examples where teams can be turned around. I’ve got a sliver of optimism, and I’m holding onto it until I have to let it go.
Have a good one! GO BROWNS!
The Cleveland Browns, known for their struggles in recent years, seem to have found a new way to disappoint their fans – by refusing to tank properly. Despite their abysmal record and lackluster performances on the field, the Browns just can’t seem to secure the top draft picks they so desperately need.Many fans and analysts have been calling for the Browns to intentionally lose games in order to secure a better draft position, but the team just can’t seem to get it right. Whether it’s a missed field goal, a last-minute interception, or a botched play call, the Browns always seem to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It’s a frustrating situation for Browns fans, who have endured years of disappointment and heartbreak. But with each loss, the team inches closer to another high draft pick – if they can just manage to tank properly.
Only time will tell if the Browns can turn things around and finally secure the top talent they need to compete in the NFL. But for now, it seems that even tanking is proving to be a challenge for this struggling franchise.

Tips for Properly Mounting Your G80SD Monitor with a VESA Mount
Mounting your G80SD monitor with a VESA mount can be a great way to free up desk space and create a more ergonomic workspace. However, it’s important to properly mount your monitor to ensure that it is secure and stable. Here are some tips for properly mounting your G80SD monitor with a VESA mount:1. Choose the right VESA mount: Before you can mount your G80SD monitor, you’ll need to make sure you have the right VESA mount. The G80SD monitor is compatible with a 100mm x 100mm VESA mount, so be sure to choose a mount that fits these specifications.
2. Locate the VESA mounting holes: The VESA mounting holes on the back of the G80SD monitor are located in a square pattern in the center of the back panel. Use a tape measure or ruler to locate the exact center of the monitor and mark the position of the mounting holes.
3. Attach the VESA mount: Once you have located the VESA mounting holes, attach the VESA mount to the back of the monitor using the included screws. Be sure to tighten the screws securely to ensure that the mount is stable and secure.
4. Position the monitor: Once the VESA mount is securely attached to the back of the monitor, position the monitor in the desired location on your desk or wall. Use a level to ensure that the monitor is straight and level before tightening the screws on the VESA mount.
5. Connect cables: Before you power on your monitor, be sure to connect any necessary cables, such as power and video cables. Make sure that the cables are securely connected to the monitor and that they are not being pinched or strained by the mount.
6. Adjust the monitor: Once your monitor is mounted and connected, take the time to adjust the height, tilt, and rotation of the monitor to ensure that it is positioned ergonomically for your workspace. This will help reduce strain on your neck and eyes during long periods of use.
By following these tips, you can properly mount your G80SD monitor with a VESA mount and create a more ergonomic and organized workspace. Remember to always double-check the stability and security of your mount before using your monitor to ensure a safe and comfortable setup.

Tips for Properly Sizing and Installing a Data Center Generator
Data centers are critical infrastructure for many businesses, providing the necessary power and cooling to keep servers and networking equipment running smoothly. One key component of a data center is the backup generator, which is essential for ensuring uninterrupted power in the event of a utility outage. Properly sizing and installing a data center generator is crucial for ensuring that it can provide the necessary power during an emergency.Here are some tips for properly sizing and installing a data center generator:
1. Determine your power needs: The first step in sizing a data center generator is to determine your power requirements. This includes calculating the total power consumption of all the equipment in the data center, as well as any future expansion plans. It’s important to consider both the peak power demand and the average power consumption to ensure that the generator can handle the load.
2. Choose the right fuel type: Data center generators typically run on diesel, natural gas, or propane. Each fuel type has its own pros and cons, so it’s important to choose the one that best fits your needs. Diesel generators are more efficient and have a longer lifespan, but they require more maintenance. Natural gas generators are cleaner and more environmentally friendly, but they may not be as reliable in a disaster scenario.
3. Consider redundancy: To ensure maximum uptime, it’s a good idea to install redundant generators in the data center. This means having multiple generators that can each handle the full load of the data center in case one fails. Redundancy is key for ensuring uninterrupted power during emergencies.
4. Hire a professional installer: Installing a data center generator is a complex and potentially dangerous task that should only be done by trained professionals. Make sure to hire a reputable company with experience in installing data center generators to ensure that the installation is done safely and correctly.
5. Test the generator regularly: Once the generator is installed, it’s important to test it regularly to ensure that it will work when needed. This includes running load tests to simulate an outage and checking for any issues that may arise. Regular maintenance and testing are essential for ensuring that the generator is ready to provide backup power when necessary.
Properly sizing and installing a data center generator is essential for ensuring that your data center can continue to operate smoothly in the event of a power outage. By following these tips, you can ensure that your generator is up to the task of providing backup power when needed.
How to Properly Care for and Maintain Your Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives are essential components of modern computers, storing all of our important data and files. Proper care and maintenance of your hard disk drive are crucial to ensuring its longevity and performance. Here are some tips on how to properly care for and maintain your hard disk drive:1. Keep it cool: Hard disk drives can generate a lot of heat during operation, which can lead to overheating and potential damage. Make sure your computer is well-ventilated and not placed in a hot environment. Consider using a cooling pad or fan to help regulate the temperature of your hard disk drive.
2. Handle with care: Hard disk drives are delicate pieces of technology and can be easily damaged by rough handling. Avoid dropping or jostling your computer while it is running, as this can cause the hard disk drive to fail. When transporting your computer, be sure to secure it properly to prevent any movement that could damage the hard disk drive.
3. Keep it clean: Dust and dirt can accumulate inside your computer and on your hard disk drive, leading to potential performance issues. Regularly clean your computer and hard disk drive with a soft, dry cloth to remove any build-up. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions, as these can damage the delicate components of the hard disk drive.
4. Defragment regularly: Over time, files on your hard disk drive can become fragmented, leading to slower performance. Defragmenting your hard disk drive regularly can help optimize its performance and improve overall speed. Most operating systems have built-in tools for defragmenting your hard disk drive, so be sure to use them on a regular basis.
5. Backup your data: In the event of a hard disk drive failure, it is important to have a backup of all your important data and files. Invest in an external hard drive or cloud storage service to regularly backup your data to ensure that it is safe and secure.
By following these tips, you can properly care for and maintain your hard disk drive, ensuring its longevity and performance. Taking the time to care for your hard disk drive can help prevent potential issues and keep your data safe and secure.
How to Properly Size Your Air Conditioning Unit for Your Home
When it comes to purchasing a new air conditioning unit for your home, one of the most important factors to consider is the size of the unit. Properly sizing your air conditioning unit is crucial for ensuring that your home stays cool and comfortable, while also maximizing energy efficiency and reducing utility costs.If your air conditioning unit is too small for your home, it will have to work harder to cool the space, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills. On the other hand, if your unit is too large, it will cycle on and off frequently, leading to uneven cooling and potential damage to the system.
To properly size your air conditioning unit, it is important to take into account several factors, including the size of your home, the layout of your space, the climate in your area, and the level of insulation in your home. Here are some steps to help you determine the right size air conditioning unit for your home:
1. Calculate the square footage of your home: Measure the length and width of each room in your home and multiply the two numbers to get the square footage of each room. Add up the square footage of all the rooms in your home to get the total square footage.
2. Consider the layout of your space: If you have an open floor plan or high ceilings, you may need a larger air conditioning unit to adequately cool the space.
3. Take into account the climate in your area: If you live in a hot and humid climate, you may need a larger air conditioning unit to keep your home cool and comfortable.
4. Consider the level of insulation in your home: Proper insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home and reducing energy costs. If your home is not well insulated, you may need a larger air conditioning unit to compensate for the loss of cool air.
5. Consult with a professional: It is always a good idea to consult with a professional HVAC technician to help you determine the right size air conditioning unit for your home. They can conduct a load calculation to determine the cooling needs of your home and recommend the right size unit for your space.
Properly sizing your air conditioning unit is essential for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. By taking into account the size of your home, the layout of your space, the climate in your area, and the level of insulation in your home, you can ensure that you choose the right size air conditioning unit for your needs. Consulting with a professional HVAC technician can also help ensure that you make the best decision for your home.
The Health Benefits of Properly Functioning Air Conditioning.
Properly functioning air conditioning systems are not just a luxury, but also a necessity for maintaining good health. In addition to keeping us cool and comfortable during hot summer months, air conditioning has a number of health benefits that are often overlooked.One of the most important health benefits of air conditioning is its ability to improve air quality. Air conditioning systems filter out dust, pollen, and other allergens that can trigger respiratory problems and exacerbate allergies. By circulating and purifying the air, air conditioning can help prevent asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and other respiratory issues.
Properly functioning air conditioning also helps to regulate humidity levels in the air. High humidity can create a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria, which can cause respiratory problems and other health issues. Air conditioning systems remove excess moisture from the air, creating a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
In addition to improving air quality and regulating humidity levels, air conditioning can also help prevent heat-related illnesses. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious conditions that can be life-threatening, especially for young children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. Air conditioning helps to maintain a cool and comfortable temperature indoors, reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses.
Properly functioning air conditioning systems can also improve sleep quality. A cool and comfortable sleeping environment is essential for getting a good night’s rest. By maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the night, air conditioning can help promote better sleep and overall well-being.
Overall, the health benefits of properly functioning air conditioning are numerous and significant. By improving air quality, regulating humidity levels, preventing heat-related illnesses, and promoting better sleep, air conditioning plays a crucial role in maintaining good health and well-being. It is important to regularly maintain and service air conditioning systems to ensure they are functioning properly and providing these important health benefits.
