we're cleveland fans. >> reporter: a familiar sad feeling for cleveland fans as they leave downtown after game one. they're optimistic and remain hopeful this is finally their year. >> ah cleveland. i can't think of another athlete and another city as closely intertwined as lebron james and cleveland. >> you're right, john. after the decision he gets a chance to return and you look at lebron james and what he means to cleveland. i think a realistic chance to be in the finals every year and to end the curse, i mean, you taunt lebron james got a chance to the finals last year without kevin love, without kyrie irving and this year having a chance. last year they won game two and three. cleveland fans, you have some hope. >> he couldn't possibly leave again, could he? >> i don't think so. that would be heart broken situation for those cleveland fans. >> cleveland certainly hopes you are right. >>> coming up for us, who is going to win the nba final? we will make steve smith predict and we'll hold him to it. also, we're going to catch up with our own warrior craig saeger inspiring us on and of

let's get to cleveland. we've got mike shumann standsing by with one of the gentlemen who will call the game. jeff van gundy. >> reporter: coach, game three has been tough for the warriors, 0-3 in the playoffs. they're a good road team but i think the story here tonight is cleveland. they have got to win this game. >> well, if they want to win the series they have to win tonight but i think golden state will play well. i think curry and thompson will lead the charge. i think green will be dominant defensively. and then i think a lot of it comes down to the others. can they make their shots or not? but for cleveland james has to be special. irving has to be special. and their defense must be be much better. >> reporter: without kevin love, what does that do to cleveland? >> in some ways defensively it can make them more versatile. but this was a tough matchup for him to score. like when they're trying to post him against draymond green tlashgs's a tough match jum. i'll be interested to see who they start in h

i'm pulling for the warriors to win, but i have a feeling cleveland is going to take it in cleveland. what about you? >> i said this is going to go down to the wire like somewhere in the fourth quarter steph is going to have an opportunity to win the game at the buzzer. and the warriors is going to win. take that to the bank! >> reporter: that would be great because they come back here and could clinch it monday. >> there you go. >> wouldn't you rather see them win it here at oracle? >> yeah! absolutely. >> reporter: we were very lonely last year in cleveland when this happened. that will do it. of course we'll be back for "after the game" adonal and i will enjoy the watch party with 18000 to 19,000 fans. and i hope you enjoy the game exclusively here on abc 7. let's go back to the newsroom. dan and ama should be a great game and we'll be see how it plays out. >> going to be fun. going to be really a blast where you are. adobl, shu, thank you so much. >> abc's coverage of game four gets under way next right here on abc 7. >> after that, join mike shumann and adonal foyle after the gam

but still cleveland, the cleveland indians didn't win. as a boy, my dad would take us up u.s. 42 often to see a double hider when they played those kinds of double-headers on sundays. my dad would never take us to see the new york yankees, a team he despised because he knew that 15 or 20 cents of our ticket price would go to mickey mantle and kwro*e tkpweu bera and other yankees. every year i was naive enough to think the yankees would win the pennant. never in those years did they even get close. by july, usually certainly by august, often by july it was clear even to this 12-year-old boy that the indians weren't going to win the pennant. the next 52 years after the 1964 browns championship were challenged for the city of cleveland. the manufacturing economy that sustained northeast ohio eroded. decades of policy choices that closed factories and shipped jobs overseas, too often bad trade policy, bad tax policy. the population of the city shrink to almost half its population from my boyhood, from my early years. beginning in 1995, ohio h
