The end of a season is never easy for a sports fan, especially if the final loss comes in the playoffs. So one could blame the of gloom and doom among Cleveland fans following the Cavs' season-ending 94-85 loss at Boston.
Fear The Sword, SB Nation's Cavaliers blog, poignantly channeled what many Cavs fans must be thinking right now about both the present and future:
Cavaliers fans, the pot of gold will, for another year at least, continue to rest just over that hill up ahead, the hill we can see, but never seem to completely scale. But for now, darkness has again fallen on a season, a season that both began, and ended, with a loss to Boston.
It is over, and whether or not Mike Brown will still be our coach after this,cor whether LeBron James will stay or go after this…those are questions for another day.
The question that weighs on every Cavaliers fan right now is will LeBron James wear a Cleveland uniform next season? Like many of its brethren, Fear The Sword, does not have the energy to address that right now.
Tonight, I need your forgiveness, because I cannot write anymore about this game right now. If you think that is irresponsible from someone who writes often and voluminously for this site, I can only fall back on this: I am a Cavaliers fan, and tonight, I am disappointed and a little heart-sick.
There will be a tomorrow, for you, for me, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Will tomorrow and the days, week and months that follow include LeBron? No one knows.
