Whats that whole deal with Cleveland?

[Panmisiek]

I am not american so u gotto explain this to me.

I read the other day that "Stipe by winning title, broke the curse of Cleveland"

What curse? Is that a bad luck city or something?

 

[DeathByBeer]

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that Cleveland Rocks.......

The city is known for having awful sports franchises. When they do have good teams they fail to win it.

Oh right.

Cleveland sports franchises can't win titles.

If the Golden State Warriors didn't exist they would have a great chance at the NBA title, though.

Stipe threw them a bone.

Shitty city full of shitty team owners. Though the cavs are good but will probably be swept by golden state.

Here you go. From Wikipedia:

The Cleveland sports curse was a sports superstition involving the city of Cleveland, and some of its professional sports teams. Cleveland has three major sports teams: the Browns of the National Football League (NFL), the Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and Major League Baseball (MLB)'s Indians. The city's teams have endured an unprecedented combined 156-season championship drought, having not won a title since 1964, when the Browns won the NFL Championship Game, two seasons prior to the first Super Bowl. In addition, the city's lone National Hockey League (NHL) representative, the Cleveland Barons, lasted only two seasons before being merged with the Minnesota North Stars.

Idk about a sweep, Love and Irving are playing this time around and LeBron is well LeBron plus the Cavs are playing great this post season. I still see Golden State taking it but in 6. It'll be far more interesting this year then last.

It's a sports thing, their Football, Basketball, Baseball teams have had poor luck bringing home Championships.

They are also known for Thugs!








The late great 2Pac Shakur once said:

"I caught a plane out to Cleveland late last evening
To help my ni**as clean up some ni**as no longer breathing now
Who you believe in hit the weed and breathe it's a
Cold ass the world them ni**as kill you in your sleep."

Cavs are playing really good basketball right now. No way Golden State sweeps them, in the event they both make it to the finals.

So bad, that even the NBA Tried to help them by giving them a few First picks. The cavaliers had a 2.8% chance of winning a first daft pick in 2011 and a 15% chance of winning in 2013. Both times they got their first pick.

I don't think they will get swept. But, barring any injuries I don't think the Cavs will be able to keep up with the Warriors crazy fast pace. I think Portland did so well, because they are a young squad which helped them to stay toe to toe with the Warriors. The Cavs will need to use their backcourt to slow down the game.

I grew up in northeastern Ohio, and the following story is true.

About 16 years ago I guess, my brother and I were driving into Cleveland. We pulled up to a stop light with one car in front of us and witnessed one of the most bizarre occurrences I've experienced in my life. Inside the car ahead of us, we saw two people who were visibly in an argument of sorts. The driver opened his door and got out. He then opened the back seat and pulled out "The Club," a notorious anti-theft apparatus from the 90's, and then walked around to open the passenger side where he proceeded to beat the ever-loving shit out of his fellow man.

There were dull thuds and screams, muffled by the windows that my brother and I both thoroughly inspected to ensure they were fucking up, UP, GODDAMMIT. The man threw The Club on the ground, closed the door and walked around to get back in, after which the two of them drove off together.

The most disturbing and (I suppose now) hysterical thing about it, is that as they drove off, the driver put his arm around the seat of the passenger, evoking a casual and familiar sentiment. Almost as if this was business as usual for the chums. It was truly an odd contrast in light of what had just transpired.

My brother and I looked at each other and went home.

Cleveland... is for LOVERS.

Just think of the most depressing place on earth. For the US that is detroit and Cleveland is one notch above them.
