Right, so things got so bad in Cleveland's 103-74 loss to San Antonio on Monday night that Tyronn Lue looked out at his players on the court and "I just thought we couldn't do it." Too slow, too soft, couldn't shoot. Too injured. Losers of four of six and nine of 15 in March. No longer in first place in the East. In this space, we're going to try and look at this clearly, examine a few of the ro..

    CLEVELAND, Ohio--More than 5,000 Cuyahoga County residents each year die before they should, often due to gunshot wounds, car accidents and drug overdoses.
