Theyre much closer. This is lebron after the blow out loss to golden state. I guess the top teams you want to play well. We havent done that. Were 03 versus the top two teams on the west in the west. We have a long way to go to get to a championship level. Championship level, that 34 point loss to the warriors said a lot about this cavs basketball team. Position to win an nba championship. Lebron reminded us that its never about wins and losses. Thats true. Lebrons success will never be measured in wins but championships. He has two. Think about this. When you think of jordie michael jordan, you think of the number 6. Kobe bryant, its all about titles. Did he go to management and say blatt has to go . No. But he didnt have to. They will not be judged by wins but by championship. This franchise is still sitting on zero. Tweet me your thoughts at john wkyc. Do you think they will get it together . Theyve got time. Thats good. And lose giving them a whole new approach. Snow just a little bit out there. Kind of seasonal, snowflakes here and there. We have another lovely view here. Weve got such a beautiful city.
