Things got a bit twisted for the Cavaliers social media team on Saturday afternoon. The team was gearing up for a game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday when the team’s account tweeted out a random highlight from a Clippers/Wizards game happening in the afternoon.
The highlight was actually pretty benign, just a simple passing play between Jawun Evans, Danilo Gallinari and C.J. Williams. But the Cavs account tweeted video of the Williams layup on Saturday at 12:59 with the #PrimeTicket hashtag, which is used for Clippers TV broadcasts.
The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before savvy social media folks caught a screengrab and the video’s content to prove someone on the Cavs social media team is a huge C.J. Williams fan.
And here’s the video in case you’re really into fundamentals.
The easy answer here is that someone, likely an employee of the Association, has access to multiple league accounts and accidentally posted something to @Cavs that was meant for @Clippers.
BUT! This could also be yet another sign that LeBron James is indeed headed to Los Angeles. Perhaps LeBron is close with whoever is doing social for the team and they’re just getting themselves acclimated with the Clippers, who LeBron is sure to play for next fall. This is almost certainly not true, but at this point, who knows?
