CLEVELAND, Ohio — A day before Rob Chudzinski is hired as the sixth head coach of the Cleveland Browns since 1999,  the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Atlanta Hawks at Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday night 99-83 with Kyrie Irving leading  the way with 33 points after shooting 11 of 15 from the field. Irving also had four assists and three steals.

The victory came without  Cavs center Anderson Varejao, who is out for an expected eight weeks after surgery on Thursday to repair a split leg muscle. Tristan Thompson replaced him and got 11 points and 14 rebounds during Wednesday's game. 

At half time the Cavs had a 9- point lead and Atlanta never caught up, though Josh Smith, the leading scorer for the Hawks, walked away with 17 points.

The NBA's leading re-bounder, Varejao has been sidelined with injuries in 100 games in the past three seasons and did not play in 51 games in 2011.

"He is our heart and soul," said Cavs head coach Byron Scott of Varejao. "[I am] just disappointed for him and our team."

The Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Cavaliers, along with the Cleveland Indians, are what help to make the predominantly Black city of Cleveland a major American city.

All three of the professional sports teams have struggled in recent years, particularly since the Cavs lost NBA megastar LeBron James to the Miami Heat in 2010.

An offensive coordinator for the past two seasons for the Carolina Panthers, Chudzinski was hired on Thursday. He replaces former Browns head coach Pat Shurmer.

The Browns organization is going through a transition process with new owner Jimmy Haslam, who bought the team last year.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
