CLEVELAND SUCKS

So LeBron is the man and more mature seemingly than most young players in the league but how is it possible that these guys don’t realize that they argue too often with the referees. They must go over the tapes and realize that they are wrong most of the time when they argue calls. LeBron traveled but they got a huge break and won that game so maybe he doesn’t have to cryMike BrownAl Roker about what he thinks is a bad offensive foul call in the second quarter. By the way, LeBron’s footwork is awful. It’s about as good as Shaq’s- add to that his tendency to clear out with the forearm and I wonder if there is anyone in Cleveland that wants to step up and tell him he is doing something wrong. I don’t know how to evaluate Mike Brown as a coach but I think it is strange that new management didn’t get someone who has experience coaching a superstar. Maybe this coach is the real deal but everytime I look at him I am reminded of Al Roker.

The other day, Jim Thome returned to Cleveland, a place where he dominated and played more than nine full seasons, was a 3-time all-star, and reached the post-season in 1995, ‘96, ’97, ‘98, ‘99 and 2001. Before his arrival the Indians hadn’t made the playoffs since 1954 and they haven’t been back to the post-season since he left.
Major LeagueThe Indian’s paralleled the fortunes and misfortunes of the Indians in Major League. Now, he wasn’t the sole reason for their success, but he was part of one of the most dominant offensives in baseball. Now with the White Sox he gets booed in his return and then when he almost gets hit in the head with some chin music, there is a standing ovation? Even Johnny Damon in his return to Boston got more cheers than boos by the Boston faithful in recognition of what he gave to the city.



They're still shitty.

The level of arguing with officials has reached an all-time high. After every single foul call, at least one player throws his arms in the air, looks exasperated, and proceeds to yell at the officials, often more than one.

My boy Tyson Chandler, he who managed to foul 5 times in 5 minutes of game 5 action, commits the most obvious fouls, be it countless illegal screens, hacks, and banging for position violations. In fact, Tyson led the league in personal fouls, A nice award for his resume. And after each foul, he still yells at the officials. Forget Tom Selleck, Tyson is the innocent man.

What really cracks me up is players committ fouls within mere feet of an official, often an illegal screen near the sideline. The ref is 4 feet away from the violation, I think he sees that one pretty clear.
