Cavaliers losing ways continue

The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially getting tired. After losing a game that they could have easily won in Washington, the Cavs allowed a depleted Golden State Warriors team to come into the Q and beat them. Lebron James led the Cavs with 33 and they had 5 guys in double figures. Once again, it was Cleveland’s inability to stop its opponent defensively down the stretch that cost them the victory. Cleveland will need to play with more confidence and finesse if they want that critical fourth playoff spot.

OSU uses the long ball to dump Wolverines!

Thad Matta is proving that it’s his coaching and not just his recruiting that will bring the Ohio State basketball program to the next level. Tonight, Matta and the Buckeyes went into the “state up north” and put a sound beating on the Wolverines. Ohio State offset a poor rebounding night with an unbelievable night from the 3-point line by hitting 15-24 from behind the arc. These types of road victories are tough to come by in the Big Ten this year and displays just how much Matta has changed the Ohio State basketball program.

Let’s all just admit that Dolan is CHEAP!!!

I recently caught myself reading articles on the Cleveland Indians and constantly saying “we are building a winner”. It’s cheap and less risky to continue building a winning team. The expensive and challenging part is maintaining one. The Indians (Dolan) are always focused on the future. The batting average for Coco Crisp against competitive teams was huge and he always stepped up in the key situation. The same can’t and shouldn’t be said for Aaron Boone or Casey Blake.
The Boston Red Sox want to win now, hence they didn’t ask for either one of them. The Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gilbert, is out spending money and creating an entertaining and competitive franchise. Mr. Dolan, if you can hear all of us baseball fans, “win now”, before all the young talent you have leaves for big money or start to slide. We need to start saying this is year, and not next year in this town!

Cavs help us forget football!

On a night when Cleveland fans were bitter after watching a Super Bowl that the hated Steelers had won(were given), the Cavaliers gave us something to cheer about. LeBron James and the Cavs had just blown a 10 point lead and the Milwaukee Bucks had the ball with a chance to win the game. Michael Redd, a once loved Ohio guy had the ball and was driving for the winning score.
Surprise, Anderson Varejao stepped in front of Redd and took the charge. Cleveland then perfectly executed an inbound play to Donyell Marshall for the dunk and yes, football is over and basketball has begun. The timing for this game was perfect and the results were surprisingly positive. Cleveland, get on your feet and support this team.
We are forming a successful organization here and they deserve the support.

The misery endures

First the White Sox. God, I hate them.

And now the Steelers. God, I hate them even more.

It’s funny that I just referenced the Big G twice, even though it’s clear he doesn’t like me. I am, after all, a Cleveland sports fan.

I am so tired of watching other teams, other fans, other cities celebrate championships. When am I going to hang on to every last word of a postgame awards presentation? When am I going to start dialing the first time I see that SI Champions commercial? When are we going to see a ticker tape parade in downtown Cleveland, fer cryin out loud?

Watching two of our bitterest rivals hoist tropies and douse themselves in champagne over the last four months has truly been awful. It’s time for someone to get it right and bring home a title. So come on LeBron. Shapiro. Savage. Someone accomplish something.

Within the next three or four years, I want to be hanging out of the window screaming “We won!” while my wife drives my drunk ass home from a sportsbar.
