Pet Doc 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 C'mon, the city and owner overreacted. They are hurt and disappointed, but does that make it ok to act like children. I was here in '96 when Shaq bailed for LA, and as I recall there was no rioting, burning or jerseys or seething letters to the fans from the DeVos family. They were treated badly by being scorned on national TV, but how they reacted was a bit over the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight said Cleveland fans were overreacting, which they totally were. I agree with the the thought that the Cleveland fans were overreacting. The ad hominem attack seems a bit much. I really have no problem saying someone is an idiot for believing that rioting is a justifiable response to, well, anything that happens in pro sports. What followed just made it that much more justifiable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rioting is TOTALLY a reasonable response to a free agent athlete signing with another team. But good job accusing me of being fat and ugly, and not being able to get laid. You really got me with that one. The way you are negative to most people on this board, I'm sure its the absolute truth. This portrays how you are in real life. I never burst out at anybody but I am just tired of your **** and all the **** you talk you big piece of Lebron ****. Speaking of overreacting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And no - Orlando didn't riot when Shaq left: it's fine to be upset by the lone superstar of your team decides to leave, especially when he does it in such a classless fashion. And I agree with Dwight to a certain extent that LeBron did more for them in 7 years than any player had in...well, ever really. But the way he left? The fans of Cleveland have a right to be angry, just keep it to boos and voodoo curses, though. Back to Dwight: I hope he finishes his career here - he really is a class act.

As far as Dwight goes, I really hope he does stay with Orlando 'til the end. But I have a gut feeling that if the Miami Nazgul accomplish a terrific run in the next two years while we don't, well, we're screwed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
