The King Drowns His Sorrows
First off, Congrats to the Golden State Warriors for winning the NBA championship. A hell of a team and a hell of a season, and a long time in waiting for Oakland. I was rooting for the Cavs, mostly because I just have a soft spot for the Cleve, but I find little to dislike about the Warriors and think they are a perfectly good choice for champion. At least it wasn’t the Rockets.
I feel bad for Lebron. I shouldn’t, dude is a gifted freak of athleticism with more money than god, but I do. You could tell how important this series was to him, how much winning something for his home meant to him. He completely took over the finals, but when it’s you vs the best team in the league with the MVP on it, it’s just too much to overcome. You can’t do it alone. Even Jordan had Pippen.
Things haven’t looked good for Manziel either. He reportedly fumbled 3 of 6 snaps in camp on one series, got called Johnny Idiotface at RAW, and will probably enter the season backing up Josh “Yes that Josh McCown” McCown. Remember last year around this time? Almost a year has passed since Lebron went back to the Cleve, and the Browns were still amped up over drafting JFF. Everyone was pumped in Cleveland. Now the river is once again filled with Booze pee.
Wait, Cleveland has a river that catches fire?
It did, yes, many years ago. http://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/63#.VYKLTOfwPV0
You can never root against Cleveland in good conscience.
Hell even if they’re playing against your favorite team. Afterward you just kinda feel bad.
Funny, coming from you. Most Miami fans were rooting against LeBron for doing dirty the team that got his choking arse his two rings.
LeBron isn’t a choker, he carried the team but what did his teammates bring to the table? Next thing you know,Kyrie is injured again and Dellevadova’s hype is all in vain.
Excuses. He had a sub 40% field goal efficiency. He played terrible defense. That falls on no one else but LeBron.
I was a heat fan until they stole LeBron from Cleveland
I hate when ‘hometown heroes’ ditch their home town (especially when they are the best on the planet) for greener places elsewhere.
No, but it is bloody hilarious.
I can. I despise Cleveland.
This comic made me sad. The Cavs losing made me sad. I read somewhere that it was 143 combined seasons in all major sports since Cleveland won a world championship. That’s rough.
Being from the Bay Area, I’m a Warriors fan. Even I kind of secretly wanted Cleveland to win. I liked Johnny’s jersey in the 10th panel too.
This is the best J&tK so far. The schadenfreude is so much more delicious given LeBro’s ‘best player in the world’ jibe – I wish they’d given him the MVP nstead of Iguodala. Just to piss him off, like.
Admittedly I wanted Golden State to win because A. my best buddy is a Warriors fan and I like my friends winning things, and B. LeBron annoys me because favoritism(Just in game 6 alone, there were so many flagrant fouls he wasn’t called with that were blatant from the couch at home. How do you ram your shoulder into a player and basically tackle him and not get called?), but I still feel awful for poor Cleveland, especially since the Indians are in 4th and the Browns…yeah, so that was about all to be excited about.
Still, LeBron will be there next year, Irving will be back, and maybe hopefully Love will too. If the two of them are healthy for the finals it’s a much different series. Have hope Cleveland, it actually exists for once.
As one more slap in the face Cleveland, the Indians lost to the Cubs, yes, THOSE Cubs, 17-0 last night.
I can understand why you wouldn’t want Cleveland to win for the sake of this ongoing skit, but exactly what do you have against the Rockets? You can’t still be upset about 1994 when they beat the Knicks for the title, can you?
People need to stop assuming I only like NY Sports teams because of the Giants connection. I’m not from New York and the only other NY Sports team I kind of like are the Rangers
I’m a Blazers fan, that’s why I hate the Rockets. Also Dwight Howard and Mr Floppy beard. The Rockets are very hate-able.
Even if you’re a Blazers fan, why exactly do you hate the Rockets? I have 0.9 reasons more than you do to hate the Blazers.
Already said a few reasons, but hate doesn’t always have to be rational
At least Cleveland won a baseball championship long ago. I feel more bad about buffalo. They lost 4 super bowls in a row and got robbed of the Stanley cup from a no goal.
They at least got there 4 years in a row. No one will ever do that again
Cleveland losing is how you know you’re in the best timeline.
