Cleveland fans give it to Bulls representatives

After the Cavs officials left, the Bulls arrived, including new coach Tom Thibodeau, GM Gar Forman, John Paxson and Jerry Reinsdorf. They were dressed in business casual as they wore jackets, but no ties.
After the close to three hour meetings ended, the Bulls left to a chorus of boos from Cleveland fans that were waiting outside.
The Bulls left without a word, but coach Thibodeau had a huge smile on his face.
In what may be their last effort to show support for James, Cavaliers fans made their way downtown to greet James and Cavaliers executives as they prepared for their 11 a.m. (Eastern time) meeting.
A rough estimate put the crowd at a couple hundred fans and they were chanting "LBJ" and got one chant of "Noah sucks" going, in reference to the Bulls' Joakim Noah, who was critical of the Cavaliers during last season's playoffs.
Now that the meetings are over, basketball fans will be on pins and needles waiting to hear who the winner of the LeBron sweepstakes will be.
