Cleveland Cavaliers 11-12 season thread

• wes_mantooth

  

  But the trolling on this board does need to stop. It is starting to become difficult to read through all the garbage.
  
  A couple of things I would like to see from us Cleveland fans....stop flaming the trolls when they start. Forget the past....lets start new with the guys that you don't like. It seems like we flame guys on everything they say just because of previous dumb shit they have said.(I am guilty of this too)

  I agree. Talking about the Cavs attendance figures is not trolling. People QQing about it in a thread is.

  C'mon dude, you know exactly what you're trying to do with those comments. This passive aggressive stuff is annoying. Given your history I highly doubt that you're honestly just trying to make a conversation

  Skyhook's post after yours is exactly why we flame the trolls lol.

  This, and like I said, why I (and others) flame the trolls.

  It is when it's sole purpose is to rile up people. You are not fooling anyone with stuff like this.

  70% of the stuff on this board is posted by people to "rile" up people. People try to rile me up all the time. I could care less. I have never reported a post in my entire time on this board. If "riling" people up is so wrong then make it a rule. Talking about Cavs attendance figures is legitimate in a Cavs season thread and its not to "rile" people up. Its to dispute what Cavs fans said last year about the attendance not dropping off because Lebron left.

  I am not going to argue with you about it....I will address the last thing though. I def stated that attendance would drop. There is no way anyone could think that you are going to sell out with a losing team. People pay money to watch a winner...no matter what city you talk about.

  FIFY.
  
  Trolling isn't allowed. That's why there is a basement, and why cry4fail distributes troll points.
  
  Hope this helps.

  So you do care?

  From this moment on let's stop responding to anything he says. His comments are doing nothing but dragging this thread down, as others have said, it sucks to have to go through pages of garbage just to read about the Cavs.
• Skyhook79

  

  I look for the Cavs to have a fuller house on Friday when the first place Bulls come in to Cleveland. Not sure if Rose is playing. Boozer should get a warm welcome in his return to the Q

  Agreed, it's tough to ignore his idiocy and let it go, but it's an old act.
  
  I wonder if Rose will play against the Cavs.

  Agreed
• wes_mantooth

  

  Boozer will get booed probably, but everyone softened up on him as soon as Lebron pulled his stunt. Suddenly, Boozer didnt seem so bad.
  
  As for the Cavs in general....I am just tickled that they are competitive almost every single night. I have no problem going to a game or two just to show support. I really struggle with going to the Tribe games because I don't believe they care.

  Thinking about going to the game so I would like to see them healthy. Kinda hoping Samardo is able to get back on the court

  Might have something to do with playing 162 games and the perception of players that they are out of contention half way thru the season. Not acceptable by any means but could be a reason.

  I'm the same way, at least Gilbert is trying to make this team a championship contender. I wish he would buy the Tribe

  Maybe, but if you remember....they were in it until the last month this past season. Even though they were in it, I still just hated handing my money over to a Dolan owned team. As for the Cavs, I think Gilbert says stupid shit, but I love it. I love it because he is a fan and wants to win. I know he comes across as unprofessional to outsiders, but to me....he came off as a guy that will do whatever he can to do something special for a city that hasn't seen a winner in my lifetime.

  So would I, but I don't see that happening any time soon. He just bought an arena team.
