I will leave the hoops talk to others tonight. 

Obviously it's heart-breaking.  It sucks.  It hurts.

But on the way out it was great to spend an evening with our great fans at the Q.  I'd rather watch a win, but if I have to see a loss....I want to split the grief with 15,000 of the greatest fans in the NBA.

The watch parties are aptly named.  We watch.  We party.  And as the clock ticked down it was easy to be bummed....but instead I tried to focus on all the highlights and on the ride we took this year.

The tip off to the season.  The win streaks.  The MVP.  Coach of the Year....and losing just twice while winning 39 (think about that).  Rolling the Pistons was so rewarding and shooting the Hawks out of the sky put us on cusp.

The end sum of the Magic series...well it sucks.  But you'll never take the magic of the Game 2 1.0 second shot away.  The Q may have never rocked like that.  The passion of our fans and the greatness of the shooter was never framed better.

The story book had all the trappings of a Pulitizer Prize winner, but the ending sucks.

Animal Control took 150 photos with fans all over the Q.  So the story book can have a rather meaty glossy center section of photos.  And in case our story book editor decides to fill that important section of photos with more photos of LeBron, The Optimist and Ahmaad.....I have posted all the photos here for your personal enjoyment.

Thank you Cleveland for the amazing ride.  Get some sleep and sharpen the dream....we will be here again and when we are the story book ending will be even sweeter.
