I meant to donate to their foundation (501©3 vs 501©4 - the latter is not tax deductible) and I think it went to the 501©4. Either way, I got a little sticker and a member card and a pamphlet asking me to subscribe to stay up to date, yada yada yada.

True. I'm just surprised at the 53 figure. Brown "only" won in 2012 51-45 and he won over DeWine in 2006 56-44. At a time when the state went Republican the most it has since 1988 it's still a bit surprising if Brown wins in the 15-16 point range, which would be his career high for a statewide election, save for the 1986 Ohio Secretary of State election he won by 20%.

The last Republican in a statewide election won by 8 points. 16 points in the Dem favor is a 24-point swing.

Really? I just walked by it last week and it still looked like it was abandoned.

^You mention Love in both potential trade packages. Problem is, there's only one Kevin Love. Plus, by trading him out you lose one of your top 25ish players. So LeBron, Kawhi, CJ McCollum and...Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson/draft pick? I don't think that group is beating the Warriors.

Find me a top 4 player in the world who will come to Cleveland. Now, find another top 20-25 player to add. That's what Cleveland is facing. Two of the top 4 players on the planet, plus two more who are top 20/25 guys.

The Warriors's "Big 4" are all 27-29 and they were underpaying ALL of them last year (compared to "market value" imo) except for this year when Curry signed his big deal. Outside of Durant, they have their core locked up next year and Durant has a player option for $32.5m. I don't think LeBron wants to "ring chase" as a role player but the Cavs have a bunch of terrible deals. $19m next season for George Hill, $17.5m for Tristan Thompson, $14.7m for JR, $12.5m for Jordan Clarkson. I mean, George Hill is set to make more than Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala. Iguodala will make $16m and Shaun Livingston will make $8.3m. So not only does Golden State get better value out of their stars, they have better bench players for less money. If LeBron wants to challenge GS for rings, I don't think it's in Cleveland. I don't know if that means Philly, Boston, Houston, LA, somewhere else...but yeah, I don't know if he wants to just run through the East for a 9th straight year and take his chances that the Warriors get knocked off in the West.

I don't see LeBron coming back. Why would he sign up with this cast of characters to lose again to GS? It's got to be exhausting for him. 8 straight Finals, 3 Finals wins. That's a lot of extra games. I have no idea where he'll end up but if it's Cleveland or the field, I'm taking the field.

Curry shot 1-10 from 3 and 3-16 from the field. Didn't matter. (Btw, kiss that Finals MVP goodbye, Steph.)

LeBron is averaging 38/11/9 and about to get swept in the Finals. Unreal.

Ugh, get 15 off the bench from Rodney Hood (!!! Wtf Lue??), LeBron goes for 33/10/11/2/2 and it's still not enough. Almost like adding the 2nd or 3rd best player on the planet to a 73-win team make it unfair. This is like the 2000 Lakers adding Tim Duncan.

Love was a 41.5% 3-point shooter in the regular season and he's shooting 33% in the playoffs. Durant, btw, has a very similar drop off in his 3-point % from regular season to the playoffs, but he's still hitting 2's at a reasonable clip. Love is not. Hill has gone from 41.5% from 3 in the regular season to 31% in the playoffs. Korver is streaky as hell and hasn't broken out in the Finals (4 points in 2 games). Probably need a double digit game from him which would open up the floor. He's been in single digits the last five games.

the role players have been doing *enough* to win. The 3 main bench players (Korver, Green, Nance) went 2-11 for 9 points in Game 2. I don't think you can afford to play TT and Love at the same time. You need Jeff Green out there on Durant or Draymond, imo. Love does an admirable job, but I'd rather have TT switching on pick and rolls instead of Love.

Have to keep in mind just last series (and in the '16 Finals) Cavs went down 0-2, but man...this just feels different. Klay a bit hobbled in Game 1 and Warriors #1 defender on LeBron out...up in the final minute of game 1 and headed home 0-2. Seems like a gut punch to me. When you have a 73-win team and upgrade your #3 position to the 2nd-best player on the planet...I mean, what is the rest of the league supposed to do? LeBron would need an Anthony Davis/KAT to replace Love AND a Paul George type AND maybe a Devin Booker / Eric Gordon off the bench type of player to keep pace. LeBron is averaging 35/9/9 through the playoffs which is just absurd. Jordan (in addition to being a DPOY himself) played with a back-to-back DPOY and managed to duck Olajuwon in the Finals. LeBron, meanwhile, is going up against DPOY Draymond Green and Kawhi Leonard won it twice. LeBron needs a DPOY guy on his team plus the greatest 3-point shooter of all-time and then we can evaluate him on even footing with Jordan.
