I'm seeing an awful lot of empty seats in the Q.

Love once again can't produce anything when something was needed in a 4th qtr in which Cavs were trailing before being yanked for his lack of ability to play D.

and ANOTHER loss for the LeCavs...

Where is Queen Lebronda?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Lebron with 9 turnovers. Ugly night for the king.

It is tough to overcome nights like that....

I'm seeing an awful lot of empty seats in the Q.

Miami has been the worst for empty seats ... including playoffs when they had Lebron. A couple of nights ago at the Heat game, it looked like only about 25% of the seats in the first 20 rows were being used. (and it was not just at the start of the game or just after halftime)

Bskballer- where is the new avatar?

Kyrie PRACTICED yesterday- but obviously yet to see the court...

While I'm not coming close to comparing the talent level between Kyrie and Delly, PG play has not been the Cavs problem.

While Kyrie gives you a much bigger window as a scoring threat, the Cavs defense is likely to be worse, and assist totals go down.

The plus would be that James might get to play less minutes.

Partially true.
The building has had tons of empty seats THIS SEASON.
On Monday, they were letting people move down to the good seats just for appearance sake.
The seats ARE sold though, so attendance % is still very high.


When James was here, and especially during the playoffs, there were never chunks of empty seats during games like it appeared there were in Cleveland yesterday.

Of course in Miami, people always come late, and if the game is decided one way or the other leave early.

I think Wiggy has me on IGNORE mode.....somebody quote this please so he can see it.....

He was so optimistic about the Browns this season and talking so much trash about the Raiders.....

Where's Wiggy's new avatar?

The Wizards crazy pace is going to win them some games but I don't know if its a great long term strategy.

When Wall is shooting like he was last night... he becomes one of the best players in the game.

MIAMI has never really pretended to be a great sports town.
HEAT fans understand this......That is just the nature of south florida.

It is a warm attractive cosmopolitan wealthy city that appeals to transplants (domestically and internationallly).

It is not a rugged blue collar cold and dreary city where the local sports team is about the only thing left for civic pride.

I'm NOT a Cleveland-er... but I don't know how anyone could attack the sports fans that live in Cleveland. Plenty of deserved criticism and laughs to be had when it comes to the teams, players, etc.... but the fans of the city Cleveland have shown themselves to be great fans, IMO.

Who attacked them?
I only said that I noticed large chunks of empty seats in the building last night.

Like anything else, the novelty (James) wears off.

Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to imply that anyone was attacking them. Just making a point.

I don't attack them. I just wonder if they realize they're allowed to leave.

I only watched the first half as I passed out at half time- but in the first half the Wizards were just playing their best ball---- they actually came out to play- and the Cavs didnt look ready for it- the Cavs looked tired and made a ton of mistakes.....I woke up bout 12:15 last night and saw they lost by double digits- took a piss and went back to sleep. - Finals start in just over a week...should be FUN!!!! ughh

you act like Miami has pride at all....its a city of old people, illegal immigrants, bums and transients. On HBO they had been playing this documentary quite a bit- about the "Godmother" of cocaine...i forget her name...but it was pretty ridiculous how everyone came to the same conclusion- that the city was built on cocaine. lol....political leaders, cops, professors, etc..... cool place to visit and vacation...to actually LIVE there? YIKES....

Griselda Blanco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia here it is...Griselda! lol

and Cleveland has actually been doing really well the last few years--- i lived downtown in 07- and you couldnt get a burger anywhere or go and get groceries or anything after like 8 o clock- DOWNTOWN....now- 100% different.....

The city just got a few billion in investment from the Medical Mart- and Convention center, there building new high rises, the Flats East Bank, East 4th street.. West 6th and WEst 9th......public square is undergoing that major renovation that SCREWS ME OVER Whenever i need to go file at the justice center....its kinda crazy to be honest with you.

Republican Convention is coming next summer- that simply would NEVER have happened a decade ago.
