The Cavs’ latest second round loss in NBA Playoffs brings a new set of questions
Patience is not fun, at all. We demand harvest from our efforts, immediate earnings for our time well spent. If we don’t secure a bag this time around, then at least give us a pattern. Something to tell us the next time will be different.
Cleveland and all if its Cavaliers must wait another 13 months for something Cleveland remembers intimately: NBA Finals games in Ohio. The wait was easier with big LeBron James swangin’ around, 6’9 and bulletproof.
