Message: [QUOTE="Fireball Jr., post: 1784611, member: 404"] Just was summing up and echoing up the posts I glanced at throughout the game. Thought I was in a bad high school sports radio dream. It's hard to take the whining and complaining seriously when there's not even a hint of acknowledgement that maybe the winning team played a pretty good game. Everybody roots against "you guys?" Who's "you guys?" And you've polled "everybody?" I don't know, man, I know a few people I think you missed. And "everything went right for [I]you [/I]last night?" Who's "you?" Gotta tell ya, bro, I was here on my couch in Rochester, not at the game, not on the floor. No room in the NBA for 67-year-old, 5-4 guys unless it's as ballboys or owners. You know I think highly of you from little I've been able to glean from our personal "conversations," but I sit back and actually feel bad for you and wonder how bad your experience was in NE Ohio that you feel the need to fill threads such as these with your disdain for LeBron and all the annoying big fat fairweather fans who use terms like "we" and "us" as if they were setting picks for JR. My rooting interests aside, I saw a thing or two the Cavs did that a basketball fan, even one who hates all things NE Ohio, might mention just for balance. Kyrie, for example, not bad. Defense, not bad. Young first-time head coach who came into a tough, tough situation showing why he was always at Doc Rivers' side as his primary game consigliere. I lived in Ohio, on my own, first time away from the 14620 ever, from the age of 17 to 27. Some great experiences, a lotta bad ones, painful ones still with me today. I have no love for Cleveland, Akron, Kent, Youngstown, went back for a visit 2 years ago, that mighta been it. I am torn, 'cause if I'm pulling for a people and areas, I'm GS all day. Cleveland, Love my cousins in Oakland and SF, big fan of the Bay Area. Been in phone and email communication quite a bit this past week with a female sports agent for magazine article, she reps Luke Walton, her father is a Bay Area legend, sports columnist since 1979, our paths crossed in my Ohio sports scribe period. NE Ohio. blow it up and start over. Take out Chief Wahoo first. He alone is reason enough to dislike Cleveland. And, for me, throw in the National Guard, Gov. Rhodes, Woody Hayes, Bobby Knight, and Bobby Knight's mother (unpleasant interview). But Cavs a pretty good team, the first game wasn't a blowout, although it was, what, 15 points at the end. It was competitive late. I'm glad we're gonna have at least 5 games, more, I'd hope. [/QUOTE]
