I've gotta say - I went to the last Hawks @ Cavs game back in December - It was my first time in Cleveland, and the place absolutely sucked. Like Noah said, it's all factories - and looking out the window is depressing.
In the sense of truthfulness, Noah is dead-on.
BUT...
As truthful as he was, and as much as I hate Cleveland too, Noah's in the NBA. He's a PROFESSIONAL basketball player - just where do you draw the line on what is, and what isnt acceptable to say about an NBA city when you are technically an employee of the organization?
On a side note, as crappy as the city of Cleveland is, their fans are absolutely amazing. I had a knowledgeable basketball conversation with everyone in that arena that i spoke to. Kudos to them on that.
