I'm sitting here reading all these articles, tweets, comments, whatever by media/owners/fans/players, and they make it seem like we lost the championship tonight in losing to the Heat. While I can understand why people would feel like this game was 'our championship', it wasn't THAT important. It was a meaningless regular season game.Am I not as big of a Cavs fan as everyone else or something? Am I missing something? Because I'm already over it. I've been over it. Yet I still see people talking/acting like it's the end of the world. I saw a man take the BROWNS away from me. This is nothing in comparison. It's just another superstar who's ego became too big for little old Cleveland. With tonight's game, we got a lot of pent up stuff off our chest tonight, and the outcome wasn't that important. Now let's MOVE ON.
The clingy-ex stuff needs to stop. Tonight needs to be that last hurdle in completely forgetting about this guy and moving on. Yes, the off-season sucked. Yes, the first game seeing him wearing the Heat uniform was really awkward and annoying. But watching them lose on opening night (as mentioned in a previous blog post) was a big step for the city of Cleveland. Watching us beat the same team that beat Miami the next night was another big step. And hopefully, after tonight's massacre handed to us (like I said, the outcome really shouldn't be that important), we can all finally get past it.
There won't be another game as hard as tonight's was to watch. For lack of better words, it was the first time we saw our ex with a new guy. Now that we've seen him play for Miami against our team, we can start to move on. We got all the pent up hatred off our chests during tonight's game. (By the way, I'm proud of how the fans handled it...nothing too out of line, nothing to make the city look bad, just good natured ribbing and mean chants. Nice work guys.) Now, there's no sense in talking about how bad he did our team/fans/city anymore. We've covered it to death. His comments about how much love he has for the fans, yadda yadda yadda, are the closest thing to an apology our city is gonna get with regards to HOW it was handled.
There's nothing left to talk about on the situation. Try to look on the bright side of things. No one took a team away from us this time. We still have the Cleveland Browns who actually are showing some signs of promise. We have an owner for the Cavaliers that is willing to do whatever it takes to win. He'll get this team turned around/rebuilt sooner rather than later. We have some young talent on the Indians. We're gonna be alright.
There might not be any championships for us in the near future, but on the flipside, LeBron James sure as hell didn't bring us one when he was a Cleveland Cavalier, either.
I've already moved on. I hope the rest of Cleveland can sooner rather than later. Let's forget about the player that left, and focus on the teams and city we all love.
