I dont care that we are not getting the respect that we deserve let us keep on hearing that we are still the underdog or not as good because that will keep the team motivated to keep on going out there to show that we are worthy. Ya we need to keep on winning to get the respect on sportscenter and notice from annoucers. Also other teams will fear us if we keep on winning and blowing out the teams we should beat easily. Another thing is with Lebron well enough said. It's Lebron. We will get the respect eventually, once the critics wake up and see what the cavs are doing and how they are winning games without LeBron playing most of the second and rarely playing in the fourth quarter of games we are looking good.

An elite team also beats other elite teams, and beats good teams on the road, too. Yeah you can say our losses were "good" losses (though we should have beat New Orleans...). But we still haven't proven that we can win tough games against tough teams (and on the road too).

we will prove it. our chemistry is off the charts right now. just be patient and you will see.

Why is everyone so worryed about reporters gving the cavs all these repect? It is still early in the season and we havent beat a really good team.  Like everyone says action speaks louder than words.  If we continue to play like this i dont care what anyone else says we are better than the Lakers and Boston.  We are on a mission here and if we dont win it all it will be a dissapointing season. Thats all i got to say Go Cavs 08-09 Champions of the world

What does "repect" mean?

 now that i think of it i take that back but the rest of my post i think it pretty correct

I don't agree with that statement at all.  You are never guaranteed a ring.  All the Cavs can do is put together this type of team that gives them a legit chance at winning it all.  This is a team I'm happy to watch, they are providing great memories, all good guys reppin the city positively with a good chance at winning it all. 

That's all I care about, that's all I can ask for.  I hope they win it all, but if they don't it will not necessarily be a disappointment.  It depends on how things play out.
