Cavs - Golden who?

[MajGenl.Meade]

3-1 down?

FIRST

TEAM

EVER!

[Bicycle Bill]

Hooray, hooray!  It's Cleveland's turn for the end-of-season riots!!

[Guinevere]

Congrats Cleveland!

Greatest NBA comeback, perhaps. The greatest championship comeback belongs to the Boston Red Sox, down 0-3 in the 2004 ALCS to the Yankees, down a run in the bottom of the 9th in game 4, they battled back to win the game, the pennant, and then the World Series.

That's what I love best about the NBA. If your team wins it all you can loot and st fire to your own city.

Well its a change. Cleveland used to have its river catch fire.

Cleveland, city of light, city of magic
Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
'Cause the Cuyahoga River
Goes smokin' through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the Lord can make you tumble
And the Lord can make you turn
And the Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can't make you burn

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

No reports of hoodlums using the celebration as a cover to commit crimes. Guess the fans are docile worshiping the golden Cavs.

More likely just in a state of shock...

The riots will come next month, during the GOP convention...

You would think they would use this as a dry run.

[MajGenl.Meade]

The shock thing... that must be it. Plus we are nice mid-western people.

Eat it, Oakland

That is one of the worst abuses of nomenclature in the English Language. You are 'Near Eastern' or East coast Lite.

You are middle of nothing and not even near the west. Nebraska is close to the middle and the west starts on the other side of it.

Geez, get a map.

Definitely based on the "East Coast" bias, and the historical context of when the term began.

Geez, get a map.

I'd get a map but I see LR has already done so. Take a good look.

You were saying?

[Guinevere]

Ohio is only 1/8 or 1/6 of the way across the country. That's not West and it's not even Middle. It's the tail end of the East.....(which describes it quite well, to my thinking )

[Lord Jim]

One really can't begrudge Cleveland...

Afterall, the last time Cleveland won a championship in a major sport was 1964...:













So, yeah, it's been a while...

[Guinevere]

Before I was born!!!

[MajGenl.Meade]

Yeah well... the Cleveland Crunch won three (3) championships in the MAJOR Soccer League in the 90s.

So it's not like we ain't accustomed to winning....

(I just wrote that?)(Seriously?)

We're here to prevent Pennsyltucky from contaminating the Heartland

[dales]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, LJ.

1964 - - - - - - - until some really heavy sh-t came down.

73 wins, the MVP title, and 400 3-pointers.

Most people would rather be him than LeBrand. And everyone would rather live in the Bay Area than Ohio. The waste dump of the near east.

LOSER: Stephen Curry
With every winner, there must be a loser — and while James shined, Curry crumbled. The unanimous MVP averaged 30.1 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and shot 50.4 percent from the field and 48.6 percent from three-point range during the regular season. However, in the NBA Finals, those numbers plummeted to 22.6 points, 3.7 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 40.3 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.

WINNER: LeBron James
Not only did the three-time MVP fulfil his promise to bring a championship to the city of Cleveland, but he also cemented his legacy as arguably the greatest basketball player in history. King James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists in the NBA Finals, and was just the third player in NBA history to record a triple-double in a Finals Game 7.

LOSER: LeBron James haters
When the Cavaliers fell behind 3-1 in the series, LeBron James haters were licking their chops in preparation of heavily criticizing the three-time MVP for what would be a 2-5 finals record. It wouldn’t have mattered that James had managed to go to six straight NBA Finals, or that he was going up against the greatest team in NBA regular season history, if he didn’t win. But he did, and now the LeBron James haters’ bandwagon is awfully empty.
