Kind of interesting how the opinions of Cavs fans have changed. Check out tonight's game thread.
Here are some gems from earlier on in this thread.

More smack talk before anything has actually been won? I used to lean towards the Cavs as the team I rooted for the NBA, but their fans are really turning me off. At one point I wanted to see Cleveland end its' drought... not so much anymore. I have never seen a fanbase that has nothing to hang its' hat on talk as much as these Cavs fans do.
Who gives a fuck?
Honestly, were enjoying our team and watching some of the best years of basketball put up by an individual which happens to be a Cavalier.
Its not our job's to be modest, that is the Cleveland Cavaliers FO, players, and coaches job.
We are simply having fun, if you don't like it then don't read it. Boo fucking hoo, seriously thats all you have posted recently regarding the Cavs.

Yeah, and Ali used to knock people out lol.
If the Cavs play them it won't go past 5 games. I'm just sayin', I think it's going to be some mega drama.

Ugly?? No! It'll be beautiful. Watching kg get shut up. Well in terms of being out of the playoffs, he will never shut up.
Ray Allen I don't mind
Sheed, alien rondo, big fat baby and Nate can suck it.

Well, the whole season has been sort of a collapse.
Don't forget, they were pretty much the consensus pick to rep the East this year at the start of the season.
I just think when they go down in flames in the 1st or 2nd round that they're going to go out in an ugly way.

jordo seems like a douche.
He's always flapping off about Cleveland fans... Nobody gives a shit about the way you feel bro, so give it up. I guess it's fine when certain Lakers fans talk shit about the Cavs fans though, because they've won?
Makes sense, except if you talk shit to ANY fans teambase, expect some shit talked back.
I'm going to enjoy all these years with LeBron, because who knows when the Cavs will be relevant again. If you don't like it, DON'T read it!
:rolleyes:

This has nothing to do with the Cavs, even though I'm a fan.
The C's lost to the fuckin' Knicks tonight. And EARL BARRON had 17 and 18. Are you kidding me? THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT. LOL, starting a thread about a collapse had NOTHING to do with the Cavs.
The most obvious thing isn't the arrogance of Cavs fans, it's the the incredible rush to knock Cavs fans down so quickly about anything.

Celtics are who we think they are. A 500 team over the past 3 months. I think Miami will take them out in round one. As a Cav fan, I'll be rooting for Boston in that round.
Payback would be sweet in knocking out Boston.

I'm not at all nervous for the Cavs to play the Celtics. In fact, I think it's a better matchup for us than most teams in the East. They have absolutely no answer for LeBron and Paul Pierce can't score with him anymore. Garnett is a shell of his former self. Andy gives them FITS. LeBron will only be going harder. They also have no answer for Shaq and even Z can be productive against Perkins. They're old, their bench isn't that great, they're inconsistent but they consistently blow leads late in games. We just proved we can dominate them when we turn the tempo up. They don't want any part of our 4th quarter defense. What was the line from the other night? They had like 5 points in the first 8 minutes of the 4th or something? That was no fluke, they suck late in games and the Cavs have the best 4th quarter defense in the league.
To be totally honest with you guys, call me a homer (remember I'm admittedly a fan of LeBron before I'm a fan of the Cavs and titles don't hold much water with me in the individual argument--though I'll never disagree that they aren't important or nice to have) but I honestly don't think that the Cavs are going to have that tough of a time with anyone. The only team that worries me more than just the natural worry of knowing that they play the games for a reason, is the Lakers. And that is ONLY if Bynum is healthy and they're spreading the ball around. If Kobe is shooting 25 shots a game, I'm not that worried. LeBron can match whatever he does and do it much more efficiently AND get his teammates involved. But they're very dangerous when they spread the ball around--and I totally expect them to make the Finals, their defense is their problem right now. I've been hard on them, but I just dish out what we receive when the Cavs lose and this site would be boring without us going back and forth, I love it personally. But I expect them to be able to "turn it on" for the playoffs because while the offense hasn't been GREAT, the problem is defense. And that's just about effort really. The Lakers will run through the West like most people thought they would before the AS break. They might have some 6 game series, but even a 6 game series can look like it's won fairly easily. I DO think that if anyone can knock them off, it's the Spurs. I don't believe in the Nuggets or the Jazz at all, they're toast. But the Spurs are a real contender, I thought that at the beginning of the season and because of injury they haven't accumulated the wins. But they're a really good team and a team that knows how to win in the playoffs.
But in all honesty, I won't be surprised if the Cavs dominate this years playoffs. I mean, we'll see what happens--I know anything can happen, and like I said before, they play the games for a reason. Bottom line is, I should be right on the ASSUMPTION that our team plays up to it's potential. And right now, I have no reason to think otherwise, they've done it all season and IMO, they've continued to get better down the stretch.
