C'mon dude lol, you act like McCoys passes were always on the money. He's right in saying a good QB makes EVERYONE around him better, in McCoys case this isn't true :-D. I like the kid but let's be honest here, he had the same shid line his rookie season but enjoyed more progress. The fact is in his 2nd year kinda since he got injured he regressed for most of the time he played, when he did have time to set his feet it didn't change the results. People are not even confident in saying he will be an ok QB let alone good, that's a problem. His first year, it seemed like he had better accuracy and pocket awareness, last year he had few. RG3 would have energized this whole fanbase but in reality, his stock was overpriced seeing as what STL wanted/received from WAS. He might be one hell of a player (which I think he will) but if he somehow doesn't, it sets that franchise back almost a decade. IMHO, if we want to be a decent team for now and years to come then stick with McCoy (he could prove me wrong) or if we want to be an Elite team, we need to go after a QB this year or the next. Oh yeah and **** the Rams -__-

If the conversion goes through, this will be exciting for this whole neighborhood because that thing is a huge eyesore along with the old laundrymat next to BK. I live on 74th and its crazy how this neighborhood has changed over the years for the good :-). - fingers crossed -

Wow, that's crazy considering you took the pics right around the time I was born (Aug.17,1989) :O, think I was meant to find this thread lol. Lovely photos :-), weird that in all of those years doesn't look like much has changed besides more surface lots :\. Thanks again for sharing those photos!

Wow, Kyrie ******* Irving, how can you not love this kid (even tho I'm just a lil older lol). I think its safe to say, he will be a superstar in this league sooner then later. In my years of watching basketball, never seen a rookie play like this, EVER. Cavs fans, our future is bright with this kid at the helm and can't wait for many, many years of watching this kid lead our team back to the top. Btw, that dunk by Gee was sick yo, nasty :-D

Wow, they're going at that like Speedy Gonzales speed like proportions :-D, nice to see :-)

Agree, you must agree tho that was lucky and its highly doubtful that a team would be as stupid as the Clippers were last year :-D. That type of deal will probably never happen again especially after the example the Clippers gave NBA owners around the league lol. I however do believe our front office is one of the best in the league, savvy enough to make the deals needed possible. I'm not tanking on the season, simply stating that everytime we play I'm cheering for us to win each and every time, but if we somehow lose by giving all of our effort, I wouldn't be sad either. Half of this team will not be here next season, so what's best for now/ couple years down the road, to make the playoffs with players that won't be here next season and go out the first round likely and having our draft stock go down, or more ping pong balls? Personally, I think the NBA lottery is rigged.

I am praying and hoping that P.Manning goes to the redskins :-D

I've met Kucinich once while on a school trip to the D.C in middle school, he seemed nice but let's face it, where has he gotten us over the years. Atleast Kaptur brings something new to the table and not the "same ol same ol" that the County voters seem to love. We are no better or worse with him out, only time will tell if we as voters made the correct decision. Kucinich time out has long over been due, it seems like he only steps up to the plate when election time is around the corner IMO.

Those are all fair points and I suppose we'll just agree to disagree. I think, moving forward, doing poorly this year and having a core of Kyrie/MKG/Tristan is better than fighting for a playoff spot, getting swept in the first round and getting Kyrie/Tristan/Tyler Zeller. Just remember, superstar free agents and stars at the end of their contracts don't want to come to Cleveland, we have to build through the draft or crafty trades. The best way to get a good return on trades is to have good assets, which could mean higher draft picks. Ultimately, I'm rooting for the Cavs to win every game that I watch. But if they're competitive and they lose, I'm not to upset about it. Couldn't agree more or explained it any better :-), top picks doesn't guarantee that they'll pan out but unfortunately, that's the only option we have.

True, losing does have a long-term upside. But I try to live for today! True, on the other hand living today will not get you quicker to sucess. I hate to have the mindset with the Cavs as I do with the Browns but realistically, that's the only way we have at being elite once again. I do believe if LeBron made an longterm commitment here, we would have signed better FA. People tend to forget that when Larry Hughes came out he was a hot comrodity (basically carried his own team if my memory serves me right the Wizards in the playoffs), unfortunately for us it didn't pend out to our expectations. Donyel Marshall was such a sharp shooter coming into FA but for some reason once he got here was a complete bum as the same goes for Damon Jones. We have tried to bring ppl in to surround LeBron with, its just that they were poor decisions and not to mention we got to good too quickly (couldn't go the okc route). Once Irving builds up his reputation even more then his outstanding rookie season into a d.rose, cp3 then we might be able to attract top notch FAs again, untill then the draft is our only hope. I do believe we are going down the right path to where we want to be down the future, Chris Grant is a genius. If we win now I'm happy but if we lose, I wouldn't be to upset. That's the loser mentality to have, I agree. Anyways, leggoooo Cavs!

My gut feeling is telling me the Nashville project is on "life support", hopefully it flatlines soon lol. I desperately want to pick up some of their leases, muahaha :evil:

Hopefully you took them pics in black and white :-D jk, but they do look mighty grey :\. I pray to god it turns pearl white over night lol. Can't wait to see the impact this project will have on Cleveland once its up and running, the spinoff effect could be mind blowing :-)

Ok, perhaps not 80, but certainly more than a little 12-story building. this is the ONLY office construction in UC. At least 40-50 stories. lol, although that would be lovely, I would rather have that big of a building in Downtown :-D, 15-20 stories would be great for me haa

The selfish part of me wants a new tower to be built for all county needs, but commen sense would be a much vacant building i.e Hunington for the greater good of Downtown. I would rather have it residental since the building and lobby are beautiful, plus giving the high demand downtown atm but that's unlikely. Hopefully the county takes atleast half of the space and it doesn't become a deadzone most of the day, wisful thinking. Hopefully the county will do what's best for the county in general, if that means new construction or moving into a half vacant building then so be it.

Great minds think alike, eh lol, you're spot on. I like Sessions as a backup point guard and would love to keep him if he accepts that role (highly doubtful), but I don't see it happening so he needs to be traded to the Lakers for that 1st round pick. I do think Sessions would be a good point guard in this league (starting material), but when him and Irving are both out on the floor he hinders his progess imho. Its like he trys to showup Irving at times and be the savior, a role in which he cannot suceed in. This is Irvings team, although he's not selfish he should really be at times, like the instances of Parker taking them two game winning shots. Jamison is annoying, if he gave his all and hustled on every play rather than the offensive end I wouldn't care, but he doesn't give a f on Defense or foul shooting. Like you said he takes too many shots to be productive, anybody given his minutes and shoots almost to 25 times a game could end up with 20 ppg. Thing with TT that's getting to me is lately I've been noticing he's getting blocked or the ball knocked out while going up for a dunk, more playing time will help his progress. Erdan isn't showing much of ish as the same with Hollins, we desperately need Andy back but losing now is best we can do for the future. I don't like losing nor want them to but its the only route we have to go to be successful once again, the more ping pong balls the better.
