    Why are CLE fans offing themselves? LOL acting like sports is so important. "You can't understand my pain..."
    It's even worse because the series isn't over and they're only down 1 game..

    How will they feel if Cleveland wins the series?..it would be disgusting..

    Why would we go on a sports message board to act like sports isn't important?

    And yeah, I understand what you're saying. I don't like the mentality either, even though I'm a part of it.

    It's all about expectations. Clevelanders expect their team in the Finals at least. If they lose here it's unacceptable, especially if their star player isn't looking like he gave it his all by driving to the rim when his jumpshot wouldn't fall.

    And yes, it's definitely a type of paranoia, the feeling that Bother bad moment was just around the bend.

    Celtics fans didn't flip out in Game 3 because Celtics fans aren't expecting a le, I think.
    It's impossible for LeBron to drive to the rim more if they dont' get stops + his teammates don't make their open shots. It's simply not within his power.

    They have to understand the problem was with their expectations and adjust their behaviour accordingly then. They - including Tait - misjudged the amount of talent in their team and were crazily underrating the Cs. Tait (I mean this one, not the broadcaster) was even predicting a sweep, I think. That's crazy, there's no such difference between both teams.

    I bet most Celtics fans are now grossly overrating the team. Not here, but the bums over Red's Army and CelticsBlog yeah... If the Cs end up losing the next 2 games I bet they'll blame the lack of effort. Nonsense.

    I understand disappointment, but come on, there has to be limits. Especially when it comes to great players like LeBron.

    I don't get this: "the feeling that Bother bad moment was just around the bend". Idiomatic expression? Honest question.

    So if Lebron has a Lebron-esque game tomorrow and the Cavs go on to win the series, is Lebron no longer a "loser" and "mentally weak" like Cav fan says?..

    Remember the pain you felt when kids would pick on you for having a pre-pubescent girls voice? It's kind of like that.

    Do they have the right to insult him by calling him a loser, mentally weak, soft and all of that?..he's given their franchise more success than they could imagine..
    it's what fans do. and not only cleveland fans are saying, people from everywhere are shocked. of course he brought the franchsie success, but he also brought in higher expectations. fans have paid twice now to see them get blown out at home. this is a team they're supposed to beat, too. many people had them winning in 5 or 6.

    Sports fans, like all fans, can be too damn passionate for their own good. Probably every team's forum has asked for their headcoach to be traded even legends like Phil Jackson or that they're a bunch of idiots.

    I was there for Game 3 of the Spurs/Suns series and our fans were booing at Parker and Duncan when they were struggling at the line. And then they got especially disgruntled at all the open 3's the team left open...then Dragic got red hot.

    Beer + paying hundreds of dollars for tickets + watching your team lose because they just don't look like they're competing = BOOOO's and ty internet posts. You're supposed to defend your homecourt or sweat bullets trying.

    There'd be no point. We go because it's importance is superficial and we're grateful for that silent fact. It's not job loss, financial ruin, infidelity, nor is it life & death & deciding twixt lumps in the oatmeal and lumps in the breast. You can get up and walk away from it, and it won't follow, unless you choose it to. Cancer will get right up with you, never leave you be and eat ya right down to the bone.

    Can't beat this malarkey with a great big stick. It's means absolutely everything, and stands for 0.

    i don't know why your limiting it to Cavs fans. everyone in the NBA is thinking that right now, except probably NY fans, who will make his bed until he signs with them. which is understantable.

    Probably true. I live there and the underlying racism of those bas s is palpable. I always thought it was worse in Italy, but Spain is up there.

    Getting on a message board is a hobby. Acting like being a CLE sports fan is equivalent to surviving some horrific tragedy is ridiculous.

    Another guy in agreement with Abbot's article:

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=5952

    He makes some good points:

    After those games, especially the elimination game in which the Lakers were whooped 131-92, people were saying that Kobe's legacy was "tarnished forever"... Fast forward a year, and he was an NBA champion again, legacy stronger than ever. I know we have a tendency to be shortsighted and reactionary as a culture, but the same people criticizing LeBron James today have to look no further than Kobe Bryant's history to see that one bad game against a strong defense is hardly enough to ruin someone's legacy.
    Anyway, it galls me to see people drawing conclusions about James' character from a weak game vs. the Boston Celtics. It's not the first time he's had a bad game against this defense. He's not the first future Inner-Circle player these Celtics have shut down and embarrassed in a big spot. And a poor performance against them (with his legacy supposedly on the line) didn't stop Kobe Bryant from winning a le just one year later. So why are we jumping to the conclusion that LeBron James is suddenly a weak-willed choker on the basis of last night's game?

    Boston fan should understand better than most the frustration that builds during a Championship drought. They should know very well from their experience with the Red Sox.
    Man do I. Years and years of losing to the yanks and coming up short. It was rough. 2004 ALCS was special. I thought we were done even after pulling out those amazing late inning wins in games 4 and 5. I just thought it was a cute little fight they put up. Game 6 totally changed my mindset. Schilling pitching on such a high level and bleeding through his sock on the mound. That really got me fired up. Arod's ball slap out of the hands of Bronson Arroyo convinced me that we were gonna win that series. That sign of desperation from the Yanks showed they were imploding. Game 7 was just beautiful. All those years of being a laughing stock. All those years of being the Yankees . To make that kind of historic comeback was the sweetest type of payback and journey to the world series.
