Hey everyone,
I've been away from these parts for a while, been crazy with work stuff and other things. I had to jump on here real quick and just speak my mind about how I feel about the Cavaliers. This website is the true haven for the most knowledgeable and passionate of Cavs fans out there. There is no better forum to air your thoughts...
I've been a Cavs fan for a long time, but I'm really really having a hard time staying focused on the team this season. There were days early in the post LeBron era where I'd still watch every second of every game. I'd try to go to as many home games as possible to support the team. This season though I'm just fed up... I find myself turning the games off early, missing the games completely, and even have left a home game early.
It's hard to really point the finger at one primary thing, but it's a collective melting pot of factors that I think is turning me off right now: The frustrating injuries, this assembled roster that is D-Leaguesque, A head coach that's getting a free ride, the blown leads, the offensive droughts, Tristan Thompson's regression, C.J. Miles being our FA signing who has been a complete bust, the management and ownership group being passive, dormant and not as passionate as I thought they would be at this point of the game. I'm sorry, I know Dan Gilbert is great, he's done a lot for Cleveland in and out of sports, but I expected so much more at this time of the rebuild. It just seems that no one is being held accountable anymore, the constant losing is okay, and we'll keep rebuilding through the draft (which is always a gamble).
Combine all that with the recent Browns success, their new ownership and their new direction, and it's increasingly harder to take the Cavs seriously or trust that their success is right around the corner. Even with Kyrie healthy the Cavs seem so far away. An injury to him like we see and this team is devasted. Help me out guys, tell me it'll be okay, because right now I think the Cavs are becoming an after thought around here, and that's not the way it's supposed to be.
