PHOTOGRAPHS:
The photographs show residents in the Jefferson Park area on Cleveland’s west side -- showing their support with the GO CAVS sign.
The first photograph shows students from a local CMSD school (most probably the Newton D. Baker School for the Arts) showing their support.
The second photograph shows Tabasum Fatima, a 2nd grade student at the Thomas Jefferson International Newcomers Academy, and her older brother – Imran Ali -- a 4th grade student at the Marion C. Seltzer – avid basketball players --showing their support in the back yard of their house facing Jefferson Park.
The third and fourth photographs show Cleveland activist, Satinder P. S. Puri -- rooting for the Cavs along Lorain Avenue.
The fifth photograph shows young Cavs playing in the Jefferson Park basketball court.
The last photograph again shows Satinder P. S. Puri with his sign in the lighted tennis courts – after dark. The sign was hung along the fence facing West 133rd Street for the attention of passersby.
A WORD FROM THE PLAIN DEALER:
This is how the print edition of the Saturday, July 21, 2018 paper titled the (not very flattering) coverage from sportswriter Bill Livingston:
“Unraveling of an era?
Come-from-ahead loss may be signal beginning of end of second James reign in Cleveland”
