The City of Cleveland has had their share of sports heartbreaks. The Drive, The Fumble, and now The Meltdown. All three of these sporting events have put a deep hole in the Heart of Cleveland Sports. I think though out of all of them though the latest one The Meltdown could hurt the most. It seems the Sports Gods must have something against the City of Cleveland. Before The Meltdown everything was going right for Cleveland when it came to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They had their own, Lebron James leading them and the NBA Championship looked within reach this year. What happen? Simply put The Meltdown!
Cleveland has had the best regular season record the last two years, but have nothing to show for it. The blame can be pass to a lot of people, but it starts with the guys on the court. Yeah, you can blame the coach and his rotations and who he played, but you still must perform. Coach Mike Brown might not be around next year, but the bottom line is the players quit on their coach and the fans. The fans who supported them all season long were let down by the players they cheered for and supported.
The Meltdown as I call it took place with 2 minutes left in the game. The Cavaliers were down, but they choose not to foul a team that struggled at the line all night long. Instead they preferred to do nothing in reality let The Meltdown continue. Cleveland fans deserved better than this. At least give an effort for the whole game and that includes the last two minutes of the game. Lebron James at the end did not give much effort at all either which is a shock. James tells people he is about winning, but after watching Game 5 and Game 6 I am starting to wonder.
Cleveland sports fans deserve better than what they got this season. Now Lebron James will wait to make his decision if he wants to stay or go. Either way it seems the Sports Gods have something against Cleveland. The Meltdown was the final evidence for me.
