My favorite part of yesterday's Pistons/Cavs game seven showdown occurred late in the game with the Pistons holding an insurmountable lead and the Cavs about to become the latest in a long line on Cleveland teams to disappoint their fans in the playoffs. ABC played a montage of some of the more ignomious defeats suffered by Cleveland sports franchises in the past. Red Right 88, The Drive, The Fumble, Jordan's last second shot to knock the Cavs out of the playoffs, and the Indians kicking away the 1997 World Series. Cleveland fans are fortunate that the Barons never made the playoffs in their brief existence.
It almost seemed cruel to mock these long suffering fans at the very moment their hearts were once again being broken. Almost.
