Round 2, Game 4: Cavs @ Bulls, Sunday, May 10, 2015, 3:30 PM EST

We're real fans (thus the title) and we take it hard when we lose. Just makes it that much better when we finally breakthrough.

The real fans aren't posting at all when we lose. We're depressed and don't want to talk about it. So you just have the people who get their self esteem from sports left on here to melt down when things go poorly.

Yeah this forum is extremely lame if we lose. Sounds like it's the end of the world when we lose.

If we go down 1-3, from a Cavs season standpoint, it is the end of the world.

And if I come on this Cavs forum I'm not here to talk about the beautiful weather or my new job or anything else to be thankful for in my life, I'm gonna talk like it's the end of the world.

Sorry in advance...

But hopefully we win

Ahhhh the "real sports fan" banter is here.

Haha this is true too. You're right. I likely won't be here...

Usually when my teams lose a big game I turn off the TV before I can hear the final buzzer and stay away from SportsCenter for a few days. I just surround myself by fellow New Jersey people who could care less about if the Cavs won or not.

They're getting their shit pushed in tonight

Yep, exactly what I do too other than surrounding myself with people from New Jersey. I haven't been on here since Friday (although I think I accidentally clicked on the forum out of habit a few times and quickly realized I didn't want to hear it yet).

 

[Zeus69]

Plenty of "real fans" will post tonight if we lose. Misery loves company.

Damn you think so highly of yourself.

Funny I also have to do a media break after a loss like the other day and stay away from ESPN and other basketball message boards. I can't even watch the replay of that garbage Derrick Rose bank shot but I had a feeling he was going to make it once he chucked it up.

Regardless today is a new day, get this one and momentum swings back in our favor with 2 of 3 still at the Q.

The Bulls are good but they aren't so good they just roll us over, we will have a very good chance to go back to CLE 2-2.

It seems like we are either going to go out in 6, or win in 7 at this point.

That's stupid. So you're not a "real fan" if you vent on the forums after a loss? Everyone has their own ways of coping with the anger, depression, and disappointment that comes when the Cavs lose. Just because some posters let their feelings out on the forums doesn't make them any less "real" of fans of the Cavs than those who choose to bottle up their feelings and sit in an armchair for 5 hours eating ice cream and not talking to anybody.

I'm hoping for a huge Irving game today. Without that I do not see us getting out of this one alive.

 

[Coyote850]

Lebron has to come out focused today. He has to have that "I'm not gonna let us lose today" attitude. He's gotta take better shots, make better passes, and take care of the damn ball.
I would love to see him have a '07 Pistons type game..........

 

[blank964]

I hope the role players (Tristian, Jones, Delly) can continue to play well even though I think we'd all love to see the Lebron and Kyrie drop a combined 90 points game. Also Pau said he is going to be out today. Why couldn't they start this at 2 p.m.?

EDIT: With Gasol not playing much in the second half the coaching staff has had plenty of tape to make adjustments for playing these smaller lineups.

 

[JFT]

Gasol out for Game 4.
