Do ya'll feel sympathy for them or is it justly deserved? http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-gibsoncavs020511 Boy, am I glad the Rockets aren't on the list of the longest losing streaks, but are on the list of the longest winning streak. http://www.nba.com/news/winning_streaks.html .
Why would I feel sorry for men who make millions of dollars a year? I would trade places with ANY of them in a heartbeat.
I don't feel any sympathy for their fans, they crap on the one player that ever gave their team a glimpse of hope.
Well they can get a high pick now. But as perennial lottery teams like the Clippers, Twolves, Wizards etc. demonstrate, sometimes first/ second picks don't even contribute many more wins than the previous year.
Well, I meant more for the player. Just because they make a lot of money does not equal happiness. Imagine playing for them and knowing that in part becasue of you they keep losing. They lose their fans which will make them feel even worse. I really don't care about the fans, they will just forget about their team and move on to something else.
Maybe they can actually build a team this time instead of get a star player and go for it all, I remember someone posted an article on here about how they tried to win too fast, If they could get a top 3 pick this year and next then a top 10 they could be a decent team for years to come if they can get decent picks.
They didn't try to win too fast. I mean they had a garbage team and lebron made that team good too fast and they didn't get high draft picks, and then panicked signed a guy like huges. With a team like the thunder the sucked after getting durant so they ended up getting high lottery picks.
it kinda seems like they are tanking. i don't feel sorry for them. Maybe they can try to draft better picks this time.
Portland is a playoff team and they came pretty close to beating them. Next three games are against really crappy teams, so this streak shouldn't last much longer.
Danny Ferry destroyed the Cavs. He had one lottery pick and one FA signing and didn't make it count: A. Lottery pick was used on Luke Jackson B. FA signing was used on Larry Hughes That's not counting all the 1st and 2nd round picks they had during LBJ's time that they pissed away. While we were picking guys like Brooks and Carl Landry, they were getting guys like Boobie Gibson (the only decent pick they had) and Eyenga.
No. They won't. The band wagoners, sure. But every team has it's die hards. I would continue watching Rocket basketball religiously if we won less than 10 games a year for the next 20 years. I am a Rockets fan. That won't change. Even the Los Angeles Clippers have fans who have bought season tickets every year for decades now.
Or that they reportedly balked on a deal to bring in Amare because the Suns wanted them to include J.J. Hickson. On the flip side, if Lebron hadn't held them over the barrel all of those years and had been saying all a long he would retire a Cav, maybe Ferry would have been trying to plan for long term success rather than make short term moves every single year to try to keep Lebron happy. Almost every move they made was in mind of keeping Lebron happy. Ironically, the one time they did try to think long term (J.J. Hickson) was probably the one time they could have made a move that would have worked out and kept Lebron there.
doesn't matter how good you are, winning championships without a 2nd all star is rare, Hakeem is the only one to do it in the alst 30 years is he not (even the Detroit team had a cpl perennial all stars in Billups and Wallace although Billups wasn't that year)
I've heard it all now. LeBron was supposed to commit his entire career to the Cavs without knowing how incompetent they would be? Surely you can't be serious. Why would a sane person do that? Would you? I'm no LeBron fan but your point make no sense at all. LeBron was smart to keep his options open and when the Cavs organization turned out to be a turd, he understandably left. He left in a jerky, inexcusable way, but it was the right call.

If the rockets lose 34/35 games, and they're sporting D-leaguers; I'm not watching them. It's as simple as that. There's no way a team should be that bad. It's not like they're developing talent either.
