Rock Bottom for the Rockers
(Get the reference? Cleveland Rockers...the old WNBA team. They clearly have the same talent level.)
55.
The Cleveland Cavaliers really lost by 55 tonight to the Lakers. On the bright side, at least they didn't lose by 55 to the Pistons, Timberwolves, Kings, or the Nets.
The Cavs are now 8-30 and currently hold the worst record in the NBA. Rock bottom? Yea, I think that's a safe assumption. It's not humanly possible to get much worse. I think the worst part is the fact that the only person that seemed to care tonight wearing Wine & Gold was Alonzo Gee.
No, I don't know who he is either.
The only thing left to do now is trade away Antawn Jamison and Mo Williams for any type of prospects or draft picks we can get, and start the rebuilding process with (hopefully) the #1 pick and a nice chunk of other picks. There's only one player on the team I'd actually want to see the Cavs keep, and that's Anderson Varejao. I honestly see no reason to keep anyone else. If there's a team out there that wants anyone not named Varejao, it makes no sense to not trade them away. There's not a single promising young guy on this team anymore. JJ Hickson doesn't care, Ramon Sessions is terrible, and the rest of the roster is either filled with veterans (Parker/Moon) or D-League talent (Gee/Samuels/Harris/Hollins).
And if Dan Gilbert doesn't think rebuilding is necessary and actually keeps Jamison or Mo going into next season, then it's pretty clear this team needs new ownership. Or contracted. Or moved.
There's really no hope left for this team. No one on the Cavs cares, so none of the fans really should either. It's basically impossible to watch the team even play anymore. The lottery can't come soon enough. Maybe if we can at least get the #1 pick, the hope will go from 0% to around 2%.
Never thought I'd say this, but Spring Training can't come soon enough. Hell, even the Indians are closer to a Championship caliber team than the Cavaliers are now.

New Year, No Hope
What better way to start off a new year than by coming to the realization that all three of Cleveland's sports teams officially have no hope for the future? For the first time in a long time, I can't even really say 'there's always next year', because in all reality, there's absolutely nothing to look forward to in 2011 from Cleveland sports. The Indians are coming off yet another 90-loss season, with owners who aren't willing to spend any money to bring in OR keep talent around. The Cavaliers are the worst team in the NBA, as evidenced by them being 0-1 against the only team with a worse record than them (Sacramento). And then there's the Browns, who finished the season on a four game losing streak, and in the process managed to lose to two really bad teams (Bengals, Bills), and get throttled 41-9 in the season finale against the Steelers.
A few months back, at least the Browns were showing some signs of hope. They seemed to have pieced together a respectable defense. They seemed to have found a great running back for the future in Peyton Hillis, and Colt McCoy was playing well enough for many people to think he was the quarterback of the future for the Browns. Then, in the last 4 games of the season, the Browns defense couldn't stop anybody. Hillis managed to rush for a whopping 165 total yards over those 4 games, and Colt McCoy looked as lost as he did in the preseason, as he managed to toss 7 INT's in the final two games.
From the looks of it, the Browns are right back to square one all over again. A suspect defense, a shaky quarterback situation, and (hopefully) and entire new coaching staff.
Add all that up and what do we have? A terrible Indians team, an even worse Cavaliers team, and a typical Browns team that seems stuck in neutral for the 12th season in a row.
Hey, there's always next year.
See, I said it after all. Besides...the sad reality is this: the best thing Cleveland fans have going for them is 'next year'.
