I'm a Cavs fan now, and I have no shame in admitting it

[2010splash]

I was a Cavs fan prior to 2010 solely because of LeBron. Then he left for Miami and I knew Cleveland would blow hard, so I hopped onto Miami's bandwagon and got to see the greatest player ever since Jordan win 2 titles and play for 4 in a row. I literally did not watch a single Cavs game from 2010 - 2014, with the exception of Heat vs. Cavs. It was all Heat for me.

Now that LeBron's back in Cleveland, the Cavs are back and are gonna rule the league. Miami is stuck with Wade's corpse and Bosh's soft, rebound-allergic, perimeter-shooting self on a MAX contract. :oldlol:

Miami ain't winning sh-t for a long time and I ain't going to watch a single game. But I can assure you that I'll watch and vigorously root for the Cavs now that LeBron is back.

You got a problem with bandwagoning? Too bad.......:coleman:

Are you joking? The Heat were sh-t before LeBron. After a lone 2006 title, they just got wasted in the first round or missed the playoffs until LeBron signed with them.

Now he's back in Cleveland, there's no way Miami's going to do anything of significance. They're done man. Finished.

LeBron is pretty much the only reason Miami won 2 straight titles and played for 4 in a row. The dude won 2 MVPs, 2 Finals MVPs, led you to 4 Finals appearances and 2 rings. He's already the GREATEST PLAYER in Miami Heat history.

Ya'll dudes need to stop taking this diehard loyalty thing so seriously and just hop on to the Cavs bandwagon.

you're like the mainstream. they're ALL on the CLE/Lebron bandwagon right now.

listenign to sports radio, or any Lebron signing news, shows, etc. they're all sucking his dikk so hard. I think i just heard the writer from the Akron-Beacon Times or whatever say this was the greatest moment of his life or something along those lines on NPR...

the media hype and Lebron to CLE bandwagoning right now going on is pretty ridiculous.

[artificial]

I don't even think being a loyal fan of a player classifies as bandwaggoning. I respect that almost as much as I respect being a fan of a team.

The problem is when people are idiots. You see, being a fan of Lebron doesn't gives you the right to troll making daily reminders about your opinions on a certain player, sh*tting on Miami just because he isn't playing there anymore, nor insult people that root for other teams / players.

Being a loyal fan of a team and/or a player is respectable, has nothing to do with class, and neither gives you green light to be an idiot.

Who cares, just enjoy basketball however you want it really....

Personally i am just honest to myself, as a Euro, Croatian, ex.

You can do that as a team fan aswell, dont get me wrong.... but most often, it isnt the case... being a team fan can be noble, but is not as noble as they would love to think.... there is no right or wrong here, just enjoy basketball however it pleases you....

Not a chance in hell. A four year body of work does not eclipse an 11 year one. Especially when LeBron really only led the Heat to a net of one title since he cost them the other one (and no, he didn't lead the team that year, he just torpedoed their championship chance, quite possibly intentionally, once he realized he had no shot at FMVP).

Banners? As in more than one? Lulz.

LeBron could barely managed two on a super stacked team in a feeble conference, he'll be 32-33 by the time these young Cavs are ready for a title. He might be too old for you by then. You'll have to find a younger player to slurp.

Pat Riley vs the village idiot Dan Gilbert. Yeah, I'll take Miami over the Cadavers in the long run.

Yes, Pat Riley the magician. He cleared cap space for two years in preparation for the summer of 2010. That's some impressive title building capabilities there. Truly awe-inspiring.

The Cavs are in such a better place right now as compared to the Heat, not just for the present, but for the future.

I guess Riles can always clear more contracts off the books and try to coax Durant over in 2016, but outside of that... things look pretty bleak.

Because Gilbert was a genius at luring top-tier talent to Cleveland during LeBron's first go-round, wasn't he? That isn't going to improve btw. Unless 90-year old veterans are your idea of top FA signings.

Riley built a winner in Miami well before the Decision. Cleveland hasn't built a winner since...never. Ever. Why am I supposed to be in awe of them again?

[RedBlackAttack]

Sounds like you've been listening to fatso Windy. One of the biggest reasons FAs weren't lining up to play in Cleveland during his first stay -- outside of the city just not being a hub for big FA signings -- was that James refused to commit longterm. Trevor Ariza was very clear, in fact, that he was going to sign with the Cavs in 2009 (I think that was the year), but he didn't because he couldn't get an answer out of James as to his future plans. Then, in the summer of 2010, the Cavs actually had agreed in principle for a trade which would have brought in Chris Bosh, but James/Wade/Bosh had already made their decision by that point.

I'm assuming things are going to change now that James is really committed here. I guess time will tell, but Kevin Love has already made it public that he'd sign longterm in Cleveland.

I'd say that's a pretty good start. I haven't heard his agent proclaim that he'd agree to terms on a longterm extension in Miami, have you?

Who said you were supposed to be in awe? But, the Cavs have acquired (1) a tremendous amount of cap flexibility; (2) some really good young players, highlighted by Wiggins and Irving; (3) lots of future picks to either use as trade pieces or add talent through the draft; (4) Brendan Haywood's contract which is essentially a $11 million trade exception next season.

I don't care if you're "in awe," but it certainly doesn't support your narrative of ineptitude. The Cavs are arguably the flexible team in the NBA in the near future.

Dude, I've always liked you, but don't discount the addition by subtraction factor when it comes to Wade (especially) and Bosh being free of the offensive vortex that is LeBron James.

It's intended to be insulting and it is.

I have no ill will towards Miami. In fact, I was openly against James prolonging this announcement because I felt sorry for Miami fans. Although, you were probably ready for it to happen. :oldlol:

Damn straight. Who I feel sorry for is Kyrie though. Wade was at least able to maintain his rep for a year, but I don't see K.I. holding it for that long.

In another thread I called James the ultimate eggs-in-one-basket player. And that's what he is. If you're riding with LeBron James, you're riding LeBron James. He's incapable of playing any other way.

The only question is when Kyrie is diminished, will the media FINALLY do the math and identify the common denominator? Or will they, with no self-awareness whatsoever, sound the clarion call that LeBron needs more help yet AGAIN?

I'd be lying if I said this isn't a real concern I have. However, I will respond with a few points that could separate this team from ones he has dominated in the past.

First, this team was realistically three years or so away from truly contending for a title and that's if everything went really well. By then, James will be 33 and likely diminished. That means there is a window here where he can still do his prime LeBron stuff which will probably make us a contender just based on his ridiculous talent and our young legs. That could provide invaluable deep playoff experience that may have not happened for a while otherwise.

Second, LeBron has never played with a true point, and Kyrie can also really fill it up as a spot-up shooter too. I'm hoping maybe he sees this, along with Irving's ridiculous handle, and finally begins to operate more out of the post instead of pounding the ball into the ground every possession.

Third, a guy like Andrew Wiggins, who is not good right now as a shot creator, can actually flourish by doing the little things until he's ready to take the reigns. When LeBron is 35, he'll be 25. Kyrie will be 28 (and still under contract).

We will see. It's a fascinating departure from teams he has been on in the past.

Why is it Lebron gets blamed for Wade's decline? How does that even make sense? Wade played great when his health held up when Lebron was on the court. Best team in the nba no exceptions.

If Kyrie Irving is as good as proclaimed (he probably isnt) he wont decline at all. He should flourish now that he wont be the focus of the defense. Let's see if he is actually good or if he was just padding stats on a bad team because no one else was competent.

Don't kid yourself pal. LeBron pretty much single-handedly led Miami to 2 titles in a row and 4 Finals appearances. 2011 was the only year Wade was even close to him. Since then, he sucked hard.

2012 - LeBron is a one man show, dragging an injured Bosh who missed half the playoffs and an injured Wade with one knee to the title.

2013 - Both Wade and Bosh suck hard in the playoffs, yet LeBron (with a little help from Allen) is 90% responsible for their title, including a legendary Game 7 Finals performance.

2014 - Beasted, from day 1 of the regular season to the last game of the Finals. Was let down by his pathetic "superstar" teammates Wade and Bosh who did NOTHING in the Finals.

And don't forget, 2 regular season MVPs and 2 Finals MVPs IN A ROW. Wade doesn't even have 1 MVP.

LeBron = GOAT Heat. Not even close.

Miami was never as stacked as they should have been. Quite a shame really. Team would have been running the league. :facepalm

How did Love and Kyrie go from overrated stat padders to dynasty material? :oldlol:

First things first, Bosh sucks. The dude is getting maxed out for camping out 20 feet from the rim to fling up wide open threes all day. That's all this softie does. No banging, no rebounding, no posting up... Nothing.

Love can do exactly what Bosh does and at a much higher volume AND percentage. Think about that - he can fling up way more threes than Bosh and do it at a 37-39% clip, which is outrageous for a PF. And he happens to be a top 2 rebounder and elite passer as well. Way better than Bosh.

And I'd take Kyrie over Wade easily. He's also a lights out shooter and a better fit next to LeBron. Wade can't shoot a lick and is old.

Love can rebound but he isnt much tougher than Bosh. He isnt much of a post player or banger. Great rebound instincts, but his defense will be much worse than Bosh. At least Bosh was a great pick and roll defender.

Im not even sure if Kyrie was better than 2014 Wade. :oldlol:

I'm a fan of a team before any player and I enjoyed watching the Spurs this past season. You can still appreciate good basketball.

Bandwagon fans will never understand the feelings true fans feel. It means much more to the kid who's followed 1 team his entire life and went through the painful lows and the euphoric highs than it does some guy who's just suddenly become a fan of said team because a certain player has joined.

You're essentially rooting for the owners/managers of a team. Most of us like to watch basketball because of the players. I'll never understand why someone from Europe would have a loyalty to... say the Utah Jazz. It just doesn't make sense

Exactly, I am from the UK. I don't give a chit about any indiviual team, then people will cry because I follow Lebron from Miami to Cleveland. :bowdown:

[plowking]

I don't get bandwagoning, even if you aren't from a city with a team.

You basically support a player, which in most cases, as is with bandwagoning, is top 3 at worst, and you watch them play, hope they do well, and in general the team. But in the end, you really don't care about the team, and you're essentially rooting for a guy to become rated highly on an arbitrary list of rankings made by fans.
There are never really any lows since you're almost always rooting for the best...

Why not pick a team, watch them grow, cheer for new players with different strengths, etc?

[ButterFace]

I'm a Cavs fan now, and I have no shame in admitting it

You should feel shame.

I'm essentially that way with the NFL.

Some Torontonians I know support the Buffalo Bills because they are the closest team to the city and because the Bills have played a couple of their regular season games in the Skydome. But I myself don't support the Bills directly because I don't have much history with Buffalo, outside of traveling there a lot of touring and shopping.

Who knows, maybe I might support a team for some reason ? Family connection ? I move to another city ? Would be cool, but I still love the league/sport regardless.

Yes there is no lows to supporting good players, lebron never fails... and neither does Durant etc they win titles every year :confusedshrug:

Fans of teams are essentially rooting for a business/owners they have no affinity to, making more money and winning championships... possibly not even enjoying the brand of basketball they play. But they have to keep following them because its frowned upon not to :confusedshrug: :confusedshrug:

That's the part that gets me. I'm being honest when I say the years that LeBron was gone -- from 2011-14 -- were extremely interesting for me as a fan of the Cavs. There is something to be said for having a real, vested interest in the draft lottery, then the draft itself... then watching those players grow from their first preseason game through their rookie seasons and beyond... then to watch and see lottery talents paired together, or those young guys combined with established free agents...

Rebuilds can be extremely interesting in a completely different way than just randomly picking the best teams every couple years.

I can't see the fun in that, though. Watching the players grow and the team come together is all a part of what makes the years when the winning starts so fun.

I'm from the city, so it was always easy for me... there was never even really a choice involved. But, with that said, bandwagoning seems like it would be extremely boring.

Because what you don't understand is that life is short, and you are wasting it by watching a terrible product. If a TV show or movie gets awful ratings for being bad, why would you invest your time/money in watching it? It's a complete waste of time as it provides you no pleasure/entertainment.

Why would I have wasted 4 years of my life from 2010-2014 continuing to watch the worthless Cavs as they averaged the worst winning percentage in the entire league during the post-LeBron era? There was nothing worth watching there. Miami was ruling the East and winning titles, and that's where I took my viewership to.

Same with the Heat now. I laugh my arse off at the "true" Heat fans who continue to watch their incredibly mediocre first-round exit of a team. It's just a complete waste of time to watch a bad product.

The Cavs are going to be entertaining to watch because they have the best players and they will win lots of games and likely titles. That is worth the investment of my time. Crap teams are not.

Yes, and you watched fat busts like Anthony Bennett contribute to 15-win teams. I personally would never have wasted a second of my life watching such a horrifically bad product, but to each his own.

Being a fan of a team doesnt mean you cant watch other games on your league pass:lol

Of course you will watch other big match ups, which in the regular season isnt that many lately.. Its the f@ggot LeBron stans that go around claiming theyre a diehard fan of the team he goes to, which they clearly arent.

Not even comparable. Bron hasn't been the most consistent in the league this season, yet you watch him. Same logic.

I enjoy watching Whiteside, Beasley and Dragic. Wade too at times these days.

Going by your argument, so far this season the Hawks and GSW are the ones worth your time.

LeBron is still the best player in the league and the Cavs are massive favorites to win it all.

Beasley is awful and Dragic and Whiteside are role players who aren't capable of leading a team past the first round.

Nobody takes the Hawks seriously, and the Warriors will not win the title. Regardless, neither of these teams have ever proven anything before this season.

History shows you need an all-time great superstar to win titles. LeBron, Durant, Westbrook, Davis, etc - these are the guys who should get the most viewership. Enjoy mediocrity though. I'll be watching something that is actually worth watching.

[Legends66NBA7]

Not only the league pass, but there's links like NBA replay online and PVR games so that you can always watch the games even after they are done.

And even when my team sucks (Toronto always has sucked for the most part), I still enjoy the rest of the league no matter what. I can never miss playoff games or the Finals, regardless of the opponents.

I would like to put it out there that lebron left cause wades knees were bad and bosh just sucks ass there are 3 max contract players looking for a raise and cleavland got 3 #1 draft picks in a row. IT WAS HE THE KING OF FAIRWEATHER that decided to jump ship... its cool cause no matter what resigning with a team that is willing to blow cap space on a person with bad Knee is just a bad ideal ALSO betraying WADE by forcing Miami to not resign him is also BOGUS. HE was loyal to wade for letting him get a pay check and bosh for letting him get paid.. WHILE leaving to get more WINS in Cavs. No hard feelings at all over this BUT i hated lebron all his years so i still hate him.. BAND WAGON people will always exist cause of BAD GM's so if you want lebrons X in your mouth well suck on it nobody cares just enjoy your basketball homie.

I don't worship anyone, fool. What LeBron James does outside of the 2.5 hours that each basketball game takes I give exactly zero sh*ts about. What any of these players do that doesn't relate to their job of putting an orange ball into a basket I do not care about.

I will view what I find enjoyable to watch and entertaining. That happens to be LeBron James, the greatest athlete of the modern era and possibly the greatest player of all-time.

Other pathetic fans can continue watching "their teams grow" and be "loyal through the ups and downs" as if it actually means anything. Because newsflash: it means nothing!!!

The day LeBron retires, I'll go watch the Thunder, assuming Durant/Westbrook are still dominant, and the Pelicans, assuming Davis is still there is that dump.

[Big Cheese]

idc about the people who follow superstars from team to team. You can root for whoever/whatever you want.

However, I have no respect for the superstar fans that tries to talk shit to the true fans that sticks with their team through good times and bad times, which is a large majority of them.

That's not even the definition of bandwagon. A bandwagon fan is not a diehard, loyal fan so someone who follows their favorite player to the ends of the worth cannot be classified as bandwagon. Bandwagon would be like someone who was a lakers fan during the three peat to a Miami fan during their run. They have no LOYALTY. By definition you cannot be a bandwagon fan and be loyal. They're two different things. Lebron fans stick with him no matter what, even when he suffers horrible losses or embarrasses himself.

I don't have a "hometeam" so why should I have an allegiance to a team? I don't give a shit about organizations/owners, I like watching players. I'll always be a bigger fan of basketball than any individual player/team.

If I lived where there was an NBA team, I would probably cheer for it.

[Jud]

Props to OP for telling it like it is, but what he did is still pretty damn beta

[Milbuck]

Under my dislike for Lebron stans and really Lebron himself, I get the player fans' mentality. It's not that unreasonable to be totally enamored with a player's game. I'm getting to that point with Giannis, he's not there yet but he's getting there. There are games where I'm rooting for him to do well over the team doing well, sometimes I get pissed when other players on our team do well at Giannis' expense. Part of it is because he's 20 years old with a ton of potential, and I'm just prioritizing his development over ~.500-level team success..but a lot of it is because I'm just way too attached to him as a player.

The difference that matters imo is between the player fans who are honest about being player fans..and the obnoxious dipshit player fans who put on the team fan persona as if everyone can't see through their garbage. The garden variety trolls will troll, don't even consider them people.

I was a Cavs fan prior to 2010 solely because of LeBron. Then he left for Miami and I knew Cleveland would blow hard, so I hopped onto Miami's bandwagon and got to see the greatest player ever since Jordan win 2 titles and play for 4 in a row. I literally did not watch a single Cavs game from 2010 - 2014, with the exception of Heat vs. Cavs. It was all Heat for me.

Now that LeBron's back in Cleveland, the Cavs are back and are gonna rule the league. Miami is stuck with Wade's corpse and Bosh's soft, rebound-allergic, perimeter-shooting self on a MAX contract. :oldlol:

Miami ain't winning sh-t for a long time and I ain't going to watch a single game. But I can assure you that I'll watch and vigorously root for the Cavs now that LeBron is back.

I was always a player fan. People are more interesting to me, the individual opposed to the group.

It's just like if you decided to be the fan of some scrub because you liked the way he played and would always tune in... is that bad? I don't think so.

You could argue blind loyalty to the local team is just like being brand-owned. It doesn't take any creativity to do that.

When people purposely pick the best team with the best player on it and talk mad shit, they are annoying. You can live in the city of the best team and still be an annoying bandwagoner.

If you wanna like the best team, that's cool... but to go shit-talk other teams after jumping on a bandwagon is some beta shit. That's the issue, to me.

Just being a fan is cool no matter who you wanna rep. I don't buy into that whole paying your dues as a fan. Like I said it's basically getting owned by media... paying for your t shirt, your hat, so you can say you're a good fan. **** that.

Ok if you are some international cat I guess that is your free ride to stan it up since you have extraordinary circucmstances but if you are from america man up and root for your hometown team and be there through thick and thin like a real fan. All you fake ass jump ship snitches can walk off a cliff :coleman:

What a fukking bitch you are..:mad: :facepalm ................and miami are alot more fun to watch this year, they are having alot more fun without the diva lebron .........**** the cavs and lebron and his bitch slaves he called to join him
You, poido123, and warriorsfan are exactly the type of people I laugh my arse off and feel sorry for.

You would continue to stick with your "team first, player second" mentality even if your team was some 20-win lottery-bound junk every year. Pathetic!!!

I haven't watched one Miami game this year and I'm not missing anything. Unless you like watching crap teams getting squashed in the first round.

Cleveland, on the other hand, has been a joy to watch and will continue to be for the next 5 years or so until LeBron's retirement.

But keep pounding your chest because you waste your time watching crap. At least you're a "loyal" fan, right??? :oldlol:

Being a fan of a team, through thick and thin, is enjoying the ups and downs of the process. Building through the draft, becoming a playoff team, a contender, rebuilding, rinse and repeat. I don't know how you can call yourself a 'fan' just leeching off the success of random teams. Bandwagoners are basically insecure people. They need to identify with the winners in order to feel better about themselves. I have also noticed that these pathetic saps also like to put down loser teams. Why? It makes them feel better about themselves.

Rooting for players and enjoying watching other teams play is another story.

this, but thick and thin mean that players and front office is doing it all to win but don't do well because of bad luck or some other factor.
supporting bad management and players who are not giving their all is a sign of weakness and sheep mentality.

The irony :oldlol:



Like how you were enjoying Cavs dominate early in the season? :oldlol:

Maybe you enjoyed Lebron take a 2 week vacation too right? :hammerhead:



I don't enjoy my team losing, but I wouldn't expect you to understand the feeling of winning through adversity or winning with backs against the wall either. To be a fan, you take the good with the bad, you can never take anything for granted and you always appreciate the process and preparation a team goes through from season to season. Something I'm sure you will never understand.


To be a fan, you have an invested interest in whatever a team chooses to do.

From minor signings to plucking a top draft prospect, you appreciate these things and you wouldn't get that if you were team hopping with a player all the time.


I've experienced years of heartache in the Rose era, but I've enjoyed the greatest player to play the game and a Golden era of Bulls basketball.


I live in the hope my team can rise above the odds, Rose can finally shake off his injury curse and lift his team to a trophy. To follow Lebron on a superstacked team? You might get a little thrill out of it, but you would never understand what it's like to win it all while following a team decimated by injury for last few years.


The point is, you are in a different headspace and understanding. Maybe when you grow up you will realise what that old fool was talking about.


I don't accept your way of thinking, but I understand your shortcomings. After all, bandwagon fans are for those who can't deal with disappointment or hardship.


Kind of a generational flaw. That kind of thing.

I don't think giving a franchise a couple of years to rebuild, and pickup talent that's watchable and/or capable of contending is asking for much. There's just way too many fickle pansies who jump ship the minute their team misses the postseason. :oldlol:

If a team like, say, the Raiders, who are my favorite NFL team, have been miserable for 11 years, fans have every right to stop watching without being called a "bandwagoner" when they start watching again. I mean, I've seen most Raiders games in that span, so I know a lot of people who stopped going to games and spending money on a miserable product (why waste your hard earned money on something you know isn't a very good product?) I totally get that aspect.

what adversity are you talking about?
lakers and bulls have the most international fans for a reason. one is always winning so they have the "16 rings" thing and bulls have the "goat played for us" thing.
there is no adversity in supporting a sports team unless they have never won and even then i wouldn't call it adversity.

by your definition anyone who was a fan of lebron before 2011 finals and kept supporting him even after that chokejob went through more "adversity" than any nba team fan given how much shit they used to get. in 1 year they got so much shit thrown at them that bulls fans haven't been trolled as much since jordan retired.

to make it clear i wasn't a fan of lebron till 2012 when i saw him making the clear effort to only play in the paint so i am not complimenting myself here. i used to watch very few non-spurs games because i didn't have time to watch other games during 2008-2011.

what "adversity" do you face in australia being a bulls fan who also supports any team lebron is playing that day? your day is a success if lebron doesn't play well or his team loses. i can understand this "adversity" BS if you only felt happy nba wise if bulls won and other teams didn't matter at all to you.

The same kind logic could be used to your perception of ''being a fan''. You are an insecure man without identity, so you need to identify yourself to a team. You stick with that team through up and down, you stick with that team no matter how much pain you get because you can't let it go, you need an identity, you would be lost without it.

The point is everyone has their own reasons to watch NBA and to support teams/players. There are always 100 different ways of looking things, you should stop being a prick and accept that fact. Your way of looking at things is not the only way of looking them, your way of looking at thing is not the only good way of looking at things. You enjoy suffering watching scrub teams grow, good for you. Others don't!

NBA is television, not real life, I get no reward for suffering and watching lottery teams for my whole team. When I watch television, my goal is to get entertained, if your product doesn't entertain me, I won't waste my time with it. In real life, I have different goals: I want to reach my full potential, I want to have a good house, I want to have a family. To get those goals, suffering is necessary. You have to work hard, you have to give it all.

And BTW, that post with identities was to show the guy I quoted how dumb his theory was. He concluded player fan posters were all insecure and he gave a dumb justification to explain his conclusion, and I did the same for him, the team fan.

You kids just don't get it. How is it rewarding in any way when you just wake up one day and arbitrarily decide "I'm gonna follow the Heat!" So you watch the games and maybe they won the championship...what does it mean to you? Not much, you only hopped on that wagon a couple years ago when they were already heavily favored to win. It's basically one step above being a HarlemGlobetrotter fan and getting stoked and amazed every time they win.



My Father grew up in San Francisco and was a Giants fan his entire life. He wasn't a crazy nutso fan but he would go to a handful of games every year and follow how they are doing. The Giants had their good years, they had their bad years, they had the years where they came so so close (6 outs away from the world series in 2002). Barry Bonds faded and the Giants fell into despair. My father never said "well that was it I was watching for 40 years and they never made it, guess I'm going to be a Yankee fan" He kept watching and guess what? In 2010 they beat out all odds and miraculously win the world series. Shortly after the win I get a phone call from my father who tells me after 45 years of being a Giant fan, they finally did it. Something like that is very special and I feel sorry for the fake bandwagoner fans because they will never experience anything like that.

Pathetic and retarded argument. Plenty of teams have never won any titles. Those loyal diehards will never experience that either because their team never won and never will.

Keep rooting for a team that you will never witness win a title though. Sucks to be you! I've already witnessed 2 titles and 5 Finals appearances and am sure to see several more in the next 5-6 years. :rockon:
