So, you don’t think these guys deserve to be rooted for?
I’m fairly certain that’s not what you’re trying to say.
I get that’s it’s scary to actually root for winning because it leaves a chance for disappointed, but this is a chance to see some meaningful basketball in Cleveland.
To just scoff at that opportunity and prefer to swap next year’s pick for this year’s pick… man, I don’t get that.
Maybe I just love this shit too much. I want to see these games. I want to be in my living room fist pumping after Garland hits a deep 3 to give us a 3rd quarter lead, or throwing high kicks after Mobley seats somebody’s ass into oblivion. I want to see Allen throw down a monstrous lob and make the opposing team call a timeout while the home crowd loses their fucking minds.
So yeah, getting to keep our pick is better than a kick in the dick, but give me some playoff basketball, baby.
