Go Crazy Cleveland! Go Crazy!

 If there is one bright spot in a Cleveland sports fan's life in 2011, it will be that they beat LeBron once and getting Derrick Williams in June.  I find insignificant for the Miami Heat, and I thought the issues with LBJ/Cleveland got petty by the middle of this season. It is still awesome to beat your favorite enemy.

How 'Bout Them Cavs?

The Cleveland Cavaliers have finally ended that record setting losing streak that made them the NBA's "lovable losers" in 2010-2011. They beat Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime 126-119 at the Q.

That was their first victory in 26 games, and their first victory in 53 days. Some of those losses were close. Some were downright ugly (see the 112-57 loss against the Lakers). The thing a lot of people don't realize is that the Cavs had a 10 game losing streak going, then they beat the Knicks, in overtime, then they proceeded to lose 26 in a row. Add up the numbers, and they've lost 36 of their last 37 games.

They just haven't been the same since that devastating loss against Miami in which, LeBron James put up 38 points in his anticipated return to Chernobyl, err Cleveland. Not that they're any good to begin with, but they've been absolutely putrid.

Jamison is the Cavs leading scorer with 17.6 PPG.

Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison aren't any good and Anderson Varejão should not be a starter on an NBA team. It's pretty obvious now the kind of value "King James" had with those guys. They're essentially the same squad minus one of the best all-around players of all-time. Everyone knew it but hoped it wouldn't be this bad after the way LeBron and he P.R. staff handled the departure.

This season is clearly considered a wash by now in Cleveland and they are just vying for the top spot in the lottery this year. This is not that unlike the '02-'03 season where there was speculation of them throwing games just to win the LeBron sweepstakes when he went pro. The Cavs could use a good, young PG (Kyrie Irving?)

Ending the LeBron-Cleveland Feud

The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered one of the worst losses in NBA history.  They lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 112-57 last night. For those non-math majors out there, that is a 55 point loss. That is like Duke playing UW-Eau Claire type of scoring right there, although that might be giving the Blugolds some credit.  Obviously, players like Mo Williams and Antwan Jamison are embarrassed.  But to put the cherry on top, their most famous former player LeBron James tweeted his thoughts...  

Crazy. Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!

I never said LeBron should have stayed in Cleveland and try to bring that city a title. Personally, I wanted New York, but that's just. I didn't like how he was an asshole about the whole ordeal.  LeBron's horrible PR decision is the reason why people hate him with more venom this season. LeBron wants people to know he hates Cleveland and never will forgive them for burning his jerseys, blocking out Jay-Z songs, etc.. But honestly, I am fed up with both of them.  This is like a weak rap beef comparable to Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane with LBJ and the city of Cleveland.  Each sides needs to give it up.  We understand you hate each other, but let's move on.

This isn't the WWE where we have a long feud resulting in a title fight, then another one, and then a final grudge match in a steel cage. This is the NBA.  Both sides need to stop being bitches. Unless someone throws a punch in a game, this is a meaningless squabble.  I do like LeBron is in FU mode because that's the type of player he needs to be this season. The killer instict is back, now let's see if he can do it in the playoffs.

Heat vs. Cavaliers Post-Game Wrap-Up.

Last night, LeBron dropped thirty-eight big ones to bury his former team amidst a sea of boos and crashing waves of profanity. TNT tried their darndest to mute the audiences' specific jeers, but they couldn't stop everyone -- a cry of 'oh shit!' was heard before a commercial break, cameras panned to people flipping LBJ the bird, and there were numerous top-deck ejections for rowdiness.

This could've been the most disrespectful game I've ever laid my eyes on. Remember last year's Favre-in-Lambeau game? Not a whole lot of negativity - granted some clever signs, but nothing entirely disrespectful. This time around? Forty-eight solid minutes of jeering, whining, and booing. Oh, poor Cleveland -- you wanna know why LeBron left? No supporting cast. See the Cav's final record this year, and tell me that they had a graceful fall from Conference Champion -- it just won't happen. Reggie Miller said that the Cav's may inch into the playoffs, based on how weak the East is this year, but y'know what?

After last night, they don't deserve it. Granted, I like Byron Scott. I do. But, boy -- I hate the Cav's. Dwight Howard wouldn't get that treatment if he left the Magic. Is this what 'Melo has to look forward to next year, when he leaves Denver for NY? And what about Big Z, who got a standing ovation, despite playing for the Heat with co-hort King James? Did Cleveland realize their hypocracy, and the realization of the free agency? Doubt it. F_ck Cleveland for being that sh_tty of a fan base. Seriously. I hope you re-locate to Seattle. By the way? Akron hates CLEVELAND - true story.

ugh, good game none-the-less :) favorite part?

Big Story of the Week - LeBron James vs. The World

Easily the most hyped story of the week, and potentially the most watched NBA game of the year -- Tonight, December 2nd, LeBron James and his superstar accolades, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, take on slum-of-a-franchise Cleveland.

Usually, two mid-tier teams wouldn't garner this much attention, but as everyone knows, LeBron stiffed the Cav's, and up-and-left to South Beach, where the weather, talent, and market is much more developed. Now, the city of Cleveland wants revenge. Expect a chorus of boo's for King James and crew, even though LeBron grew up in Ohio.

Who wins? Well, the Heat haven't quite met our legendary expectations, but that doesn't mean the fans at the Quicken Loans Arena will be too happy. They upped security for a reason, right?

The Cav's post a 4-5 record at home, while the Heat are abysmally sloppy on the road, so the Cav's have a shot. Do they win?

C.C.I prediction :

Miami Heat - 104; Cleveland Cavaliers - 89.

LeBron posts 31; Wade shines, while Bosh is relatively quiet. Hopefully we'll hear some signs of life from Eddie House, seeing as he's my fantasy back-up.

Sorry, CuDi -- Cleveland's awful awful awful this year.

Bye Bye Cavs Hello Heat

Tom Izzo Saying No To Cavs

Tom Izzo turned down the Cleveland Cavaliers off to come coach for them next you. He turned down a 5 year $6 million contact to stay at Michigan State. The Cavs made it hard for Izzo because he would have doubled his pay. I think its really two reasons why Tom Izzo turned down the Cavs off. One is because he doesn't know what LeBron James is going to do, is he coming back of is he headed some where else. Second i mean look at the college coaches in the pass that have gone from college to the NBA, the track record is not to good. I believe other then Larry Brown college coach haven't been successful making that jump. So why leave a place where I'm sure he can coach for another 10 years to go to a place where if he has one or two bad season he can get fired. Now I'm going to throw something out there to you all. I heard that LeBron James was all for Tom Izzo as the Cavs head coach so many think LeBron will be back next year but i also heard that Tom Izzo wanted to talk to LeBron before he decided to take the offer. So does this mean Lebron is out? Well I'll talk about that in a future blog. Thanks for reading once again.
