The Artesticle Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Like Brandon basically said, to get respect you have to earn it. What have the Cavs done to garner respect? Winning in the regular season? Been there done that. Many consider Cleveland to be the best team in the league so far, or amongst the top, so I don't know what the whining is all about. If you want your opponents to respect you, don't whine about it, get out there and get it. You think you'll gain respect dancing on the sidelines, acting like an idiot? Refusing to shake hands and walking away like a poor sport? You think you'll gain respect of others when you have someone like Shaq on the team, calling out Dwight, whining because he supposedly "took" his nickname? You don't gain respect acting like a 5 year old. Forget it. Cavs certainly won't garner any respect acting like clowns. The only other way to gain respect is to win it when it counts (like Boston), and they haven't done it yet. Cleveland is widely seen to be the best, or one of the best teams in the league this year. That is about all the "respect" they deserve, since their team obviously doesn't show any respect to their opponents.

Cleveland's Finest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Seems to me you'd like to just watch the Cavaliers entire roster participate in the ASG and just screw the league. Coming from you, the guy who trashes LeBron at every moment, your comments really aren't that useful in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just pointing out facts. I have nothing against him. I'm against fans like you, though. Who are you? Cheato? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) This whole earning it stuff is annoying. We are 36-24 in the playoffs. We've played 50 playoff games and are the only team in the past 4 years to have gotten past the first round each year. Does this mean we won a title? Hell no, however, it seems that people forget how consistent Cleveland has been. We won the East, we were a few minutes away from beating Boston in Game 7, against Orlando we lost Game 1 by an inch and lost Game 4 by a centimeter. We took Detroit to 7 and wore them out. which is why the Heat eliminated them. Then we beat Detroit and went to the Finals. People forget that this team has been a contender for the past 4 years. Which team has been a contender the past 4 years? When we made the finals, Boston and LAL weren't good at all. My point is, the Cavs have been close to the title and have been very successful in the playoffs. It's not like we made our playoff debut last year and we're all about the regular season. For the past 4 seasons and this season being the 5th, we have had championship aspirations and have had successful runs in the playoffs (which no one seems to respect). When will people finally respect that we are worthy of a ring? Edited February 15, 2010 by Cleveland's Finest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it almost sounds like the Dallas Mavericks as well, with the Finals situation and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is your point besides whining? You've stated nothing nobody already didn't know, or acknowledge.
