LeBron’s big day helped the 2006-2007 squad reserve a special place in Cavaliers History.
By scoring 48 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and dishing out 7 dimes AND getting us the win, the Cavs now have 3 wins in the Eastern Conference Finals…
This gives them more finals wins then Bingo and Austin’s Miracle club of 1976 or Price and Brad’s 1992 club…
In other words: We are looking at the best Cavaliers team in the history of its existence.
Congrats
Not since 1992 have the Cavs gotten this far. Just four years and one superstar seperate the Cavs from the basement of the NBA and being an elite, top-four team in the league.
Its hard to remember how bad it was… but it was.
Ricky Davis was our #1 and Z was hurt. We had the Zoo Crew (Gatling and Tractor). But we didn’t win
Now, this group can be held up against the Miracle Team of 1976
And with the GREAT, well rounded team of Nance, Price, Daugherty, Ehlo and Hotrod (Ferry was there too!)
Your kids will talk about this team 15 years from now like I am talking about those special teams. It feels good to be a Cavs fan!
Now Detroit awaits… lets go get ’em guys!
Austin Carr has been announced to be part of the inaugrual class of inductees to the NCAA Basketball hall of fame (with other greats such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).
Its a very, very high honor and AC is very deserving. Here are some notes on his HOF Notre Dame Career:
“The consensus player of the year for Notre Dame in 1971 and a unanimous first team All-America player, Carr holds the NCAA tournament career record for scoring average at 41.3 points per game. He also holds the tournament game records for points with 61, field goals with 25 and field goals attempted with 44. Carr was named to the ESPN Top 50 college players of all-time in 2005.”
Way to go AC. “Mr. Cavalier” is a 100% class act and a Cav through and through. I also think he is cool as hell because he gave me (just a random crazed fan) a hug with tears still in his eyes at the draft party just after we won the lottery. THAT is a guy who loves the wine and gold.
I came across this blog post from Cleveland.com. (Here’s the full story)
Our long lost Cavs legend has a new gig this upcoming year. He is going to be a NASCAR commentator.
Here is Cleveland.com’s blurb:
“Who would have thought that former Cavaliers center Brad Daugherty would become the first full-time African-American NASCAR commentator? Not me. Then again, Brad always has been a little unpredictable.
Upon further review, Daugherty has had his hand in the sport for the past 20 years, owning race teams in the Busch and Craftsman Truck Series as well as being a member of the rules and competition committee.
Daugherty will join the ESPN NASCAR crew in 2007. He’ll host the NASCAR Pit Studio Show, which will provide pre- and post-race coverage as well as segments during the race.“
Good for Hooch. Now, just come to the Q so we can honor you. I don’t know where it started but you and the Cavs need to bury the hatchet.
