Cleveland - Cavs and Cav-nots

Portland Trailblazers 111
Cleveland Cavaliers 105

There is no shame in losing to the Portland Trailblazers.
But, losing 24 games in a row Cavs?
Be ashamed...be very ashamed.

How a team loses 24 consecutive games in today's NBA is astounding.
These are millionaires playing.
I would have thought SOME team would have overlooked the Cleveland Cavaliers somewhere in the midst of the 24 losses and gotten a surprise beating by coach Byron Scott and company.
How that hasn't happened yet is the most surprising thing about this whole mess.

Dan Gilbert holds up one finger for every win his Cav's have in 2011
Cleveland Cavalier fans don't deserve this record-setting losing streak.
Coach Byron Scott doesn't deserve it.
The players don't deserve it.
Team owner Dan Gilbert doesn't........umm, scratch that.

The only person in Cleveland that does deserve this losing streak IS owner Dan Gilbert.

His handling of the Lebron James fiasco last summer was pitiful and immature.

Was Lebron childish for his part? Sure!
But, Dan Gilbert turned 49 last month.
That's old enough to be 27 year-old Lebron's father.

Dan Gilbert's very public bravado after Lebron's decision to leave Cleveland was very childish.
He should have known better than to do what he did.
And while I don't always agree with Lebron, I do agree that "Karma is a b****".

Maybe Dan Gilberts promise to Cleveland Cavalier fans should have been:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP  A GAME BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP"

Hell, at this rate, even that promise would have been hard to keep.


Respect the Billycock Foo!
