Poor city can't catch a break. First Art Modell moves the Browns to Baltimore and we proceed to win the Super Bowl 4 seasons later. Now this. How much torment can one city take? Have any Cle fans reported in tonight?
Grim news.
"The Shot", "The Drive", "The Fumble", and now "The Decision" and "The Letter". It is hard not to feel sorry for Cleveland sports fans.
When evil people die, they're sent to Cleveland.![]()
I feel bad for Cleveland; not for the Cavaliers who ed things up in their front office continually, beginning with trying to con Boozer into signing an MLE deal in 2004.
Yep, yep.
Everyone walked around in a funk after Grant Hill left. The Pistons made moves to clear the cap and reading the papers it was like a funeral had just happened. The Pistons were left for dead for at least the next decade. Joe Dumars promised nothing except that he would try to get back to a winning culture (re: Dan Gilbert's committment to beat Lebron to the podium).
The reason that 2001-02 was so glorious around here, why the Palace rocked in the 2004 FInals was partly because we were in shock after Hill's departure. It's hard to write about the 2000 offseason without looking ahead a couple of years, but just know this: I know the pain Cleveland feels. I feel bad for them. I've watched NBA Champion contenders broken up (Chauncey Billups trade) and we've lost a top-3 talent in the league to free agency, just not at the same time.
It will be rough, but take the Pistons as an example of why it might work without Lebron. Right now all you see is one way to the Championship. Who knows? The Cavaliers might suprise you, and if they do, it will be all that much sweeter.
MJ and Kobe ed and moaned about getting help. Thats completely true, but ultimately they decided to stay. LeBron has to run and get help. Dude can go suck it. I hope Kobe has fun beating that team the next few years. Durantula can take notes so that he can be ready when its his turn.
F the Heat. New chant for NBA fans next year: BEAT THE HEAT BEAT THE HEAT!
Kobe didn't want to stay, he begged to leave..he went all over town begging, all over radio stations, made videos with random fans in parking lots ting on the Lakers..
The beginning of that video is hilarious, idiots didn't even know you need lighter fluid to burn clothes.
Yep, I do.
I'm telling you, the time(s) the Heats visit Cleveland will be epic this year.
Please tell me they play there twice this upcoming season... please.
I wonder how many season tickets they'll sell this year? They've gotta be pumped to witness the Mo-Pete/Jamison show.
Funny how Laker fans are forgetting this at the moment.
And hopefully that'll be a nationally televised game. It better be.
Never denied it. I take my sandwichs right along with the 16.
CLE fans cursed him and wanted him gone. They got their wish imo.
Yep, Cleveland's loss is the San Antonio Heat's gain.
What's with all the San Antonio Heat, Miami Spurs talk? I don't get it.
