oh you're obviously right. but that would cushion the blow as much as possible. it's going to be the 6 weeks of non-stop, wall-to-wall lebron, with momentum changing almost daily, and then...
i'm just saying if he is anything less than 50/50 on leave/stay (which, i mean c'mon, he's had years to consider leaving/staying), just be upfront about it. he's gonna be hated if he leaves regardless, but there are some of us that would toss him just a pinch of respect if he was just upfront.

it is what it is. we're a different kind of fan i think, due to the constant suck replaced by heartbreak replaced by suck, etc.

you're right. but like i said, it is what it is. was just chillin' with my buddy today who is by far the biggest cavs fan i know.
wasn't in shock. wasn't tripping over the loss. even after a couple beers..strange. we started talking about it, and it was just kinda like, 'whatever man, at this point it's just whatever.'
we've dealt with ****ty teams for a long time here. hell i don't even get osu's title in '02 and their subsequent run. on the bright side, the browns are looking up (don't laugh, they are in a cleveland sort of way) and the nba is probably the easiest league to go from 20 wins to playoffs.
like i said, it is what it is. are we supposed to beg him to stay, send him love letters or whatever only to have one of the biggest heartbreaks EVER in july, when they aren't even playing games?
i ain't with that.
i hope he stays. admittedly, it'll take a bit for me to be fully behind him again, and this is from someone who saw him play as a 17-year old junior here in youngstown.
