Sometimes it's hard to be a woman...
and sometimes it's even harder to be a Cleveland Sports fan. To those who live in Cleveland, there is no need for an explanation. For those who don't live here or don't follow Cleveland sports, no explanation is possible to describe the disappointment that fans suffer here regularly.
The last time a Cleveland sports team won a final in a professional sport was 1964....that was a long time ago. No Stanley Cups, no NBA Finals, no Super Bowl rings, no World Series. We keep coming up short although the fans are very faithful -- even to the point of bringing the Browns back to Cleveland after they snuck out in the middle of the night for Baltimore.
This is the first year that our NBA Cavaliers have made it to the Finals.
After the first game, the headline was
Spurs Control LeBron
After the second game, the headline was

And the Indians are slumping right now too. Which I actually care about more, although the urgency is not quite as great. The Cavs are a young team, and they did great to make it to the finals after not making it out of the first round of the playoffs last year. If they don't make any stupid moves in the off-season, the Cavs have the chance to get into the finals again next year, and maybe do better.
My husband bought me a large chocolate-y drink at Starbucks today. Sometimes it's good to be a woman. :)

Feeling for ya. The Cavaliers might have the "all for one, one for all" logo, but they're half right. LeBron is doing his duty and blaming himself when he has the off game. Yeah, James missed a layup, a finger roll, and a three pointer late in Game three. There are four other players on the court. San Antonio was hitting the threes, and Cleveland looked like Ohio State against Florida at the three-point line.
If you're relying on the officials to deliver the game, you're not good enough.
