Talk:Cleveland Cavaliers

Franchise History organization

The current format of the history - as one large chunk with unclear distinctions between seasons and dates - needs reform. Other team pages have segmented their franchise history into "eras", and I think the same approach would be applicable here. Thoughts? - RfxSi

I added some eras, feel free to change them or add to them Ben1283 18:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

If 68.40.213.107 keeps abusing the page there should be some discipline in banning IPs or whatever, seems like a Detroit fanboy from the edit history (not that there's anything wrong with rooting for a particular team.) -ThermalOxidizer

Mascot

The Cavs mascot is Moondog. Info should be added somewhere. I have also noticed that not many or any NBA teams have their mascot listed in the article. http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/moondog.html

usher

does he own most of the team? or just part? if part how much?--Jaysscholar 03:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, he is a minority owner.....I am not sure the exact %, but I think it is not very much. BigMar992 03:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Broadcasting

I think there needs to be a section on TV and Radio commentary. ESPECIALLY noting Joe Tate....I will do this eventually if no one does it before me. BigMar992 03:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree, there should be recognition of Joe Tait, but there is already a Wikipedia stub for him. I feel the bulk of the material should go there. Hx823 (talk) 14:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Shawn Kemp

The first full season with Shawn Kemp proved to be promising with Kemp teamed up with Wesley Person and four rookies (including Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who was injured the entire 1996-1997 season). This is worth mentioning.

Game Songs

What songs are played during the game by the Cavaliers?

They play the "Defense" chant-inspiring theme and its many NBA versions quite frequently.

Logo format

GIF-formatted logos should be avoided. They are resized down from their original size and then re-encoded into their original format, which doesn't bode well for transparent GIFs. I won't go into technical details, (it should be pretty apparent they suck) so I'll just say optimally they should be uploaded in either PNG or SVG format.

please watch because i think that's the same article --86.32.148.186 16:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Thomers Schutte

It is. That's from Wapedia, a program for cell phones to access Wikipedia. --Tressif (talk) 02:46, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

The LeBron James era?

This title seemed kind of biased to one player. I think that maybe some the like 'The Q ear' might work or something along those lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firesun (talk • contribs) 22:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

• You have got to be kidding me. When a player has as much impact on a team as James, this era will be defined by him. The name is appropriate Frank Anchor ^{Talk to me} (R-OH) 22:35, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, without LeBron, the Cavs are a mediocre to average team at best. With him they are a mid-level (3, 4, or 5 seed) playoff team. This era should go down as the "LeBron James Era".Hx823 (talk) 13:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Throwback Logo

It's nice to see the logos here, but does someone have an image of the ORIGINAL logo? The one with the script "Cleveland" (home) and script "Cavaliers" (away) with the bottom of the "C" undrlining the word and ending in a feather? This is a MUST for inclusion. I saw a LeBron jersey like that a few months ago, and it brought back a lot of memories.Hx823 (talk) 14:05, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I believe that image with the feather you're referring to was never their official logo. The team's logo in the early years was the caped Cavalier guy with the sword. The feather treatment was the wordmark on the team's jerseys from 1970-1974, so it will be very hard to find. Best I can do is [1] but I do not know who owns it. Matches10 (talk) 20:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

There was a time however when the logo WAS on the jersey. Back in the 83-94 era the orange "CAVS" with a basketball over the "V". By all means bring back the caped cavalier guy too!Hx823 (talk) 21:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

BTW, the Cavs used the throwback jerseies in the back to back home and home series with Philly. :)

Hx823 (talk) 23:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it was a good move to put all the logos in their own catagory. Looks cleaner that way.Hx823 (talk) 22:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

What about the 84 to 94 Orange logo? G0aT CheEZeY (talk) 14:01, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

The Titles

What's up with the 2010 etc champs? Vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.23.50.91 (talk) 02:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Edit request from Beanzilla2, 1 April 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Add Lebron James to the Ground-Breaking Players Section of this article because he has over 14,000 youngest to awards

Cleveland Quip

Found in the last paragraph of The Lebron James Era:

"This is in accord with the sports law of Cleveland, which states teams are allowed to have a great lineup but only if they disappoint and never win a championship" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.178.246 (talk) 17:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 164.107.215.161, 15 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} There is vandalism towards the end of the "LeBron James Era" section.

The Cavaliers defeated the Chicago Bulls 4–1 in the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs but, in a huge upset, lost to the Boston Celtics after leading the series 2-1, with the Celtics proceeding to win 3 consecutive games. This is in accord with the sports law of Cleveland, which states teams are allowed to have a great lineup but only if they disappoint and never win a championship.

164.107.215.161 (talk) 17:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Done Not vandalism, per se, but certainly unencyclopedic humor. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 17:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

New Cavs Logo

the new cavs logo with the gold sword should replace the old one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Natevb96 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 75.128.231.14, 2 July 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Where it says, "2009-10 - Cavs win 61 games, advance to Semis",

it should actually say, "2009-10 - Cavs win 61 games, advance to Conference Semis." 75.128.231.14 (talk) 03:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Haha. (ec) Agreed, after reading about the playoffs; but while I was reading, it had already been done by Bejinhan (talk · contribs)!

Edit request from Clevelandcavalier, 15 July 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Albert Hung is not an owner of the cleveland cavaliers and therefore should not be on the cavaliers page as an owner.

Clevelandcavalier (talk) 05:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Done It seems that information was changed some time ago, but according to this article in The News Herald (Ohio) (the most recent I could find) Hung's planned purchase is yet to be completed and Katzman is still to sell his stake. AJCham 06:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
