    Ok, the first half of this year was some of the best, and most exciting basketball since maybe the shawn kemp year, when we made it to the playoffs. I, really dont remember the cavs gettting so much attention since price, brad d, hot rod, nance, and so on. there is a buzz in cleveland and everyone is talking about the cavs! Ok, this first half of the season was great! It was full of trades, full crowds, the beginnging of lbj's carrer, and most important WINS! no one expected us to be in a playoff hunt, but the east is weak and we can actually talk about the playoffs! WHAT DO U ALL EXPECT IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON?? and what did u think of the 1st half. any players disapoint u,did any one suprise u, any suprise by the moves, did lbj do more than u expected? lets rock the gund and carry the cavs to the playoffs!

    Your right, Cavs are right back in business this year. 1st half of the season was the most anticipated season I have ever witnessed. I couldn't wait for basketball season to start. And what do you know it? We are already at the All-Star break. Great to be in the playoff hunt, but for some reason, I think the Cavs will fail the 8th spot. Just our luck i think.

    In terms of attention this ranks up there with the Richfiield days when they were winding down. The Gund is still a joke in my opinion, we have the weakest crowd in the league I would bet, right there with Atlanta. I would kill to have Wolv/Sonic type fans like we did in Richfield that yelled every minute of the game.

    From a basketball standpoint, it's one of the best, just because of it's potential. We knew we would not win much, but we have been in games and have been on the cusp of consistant winning basketball.

    10 years back takes us back to the 94/95 season to now. Cavs won 42+ games from 94-98, hitting the 47 mark 3 times. We have been under 32 wins the last 4 years.

    The last time we had this attention was with Kemp and a bunch of rookies, Anderson, Henderson, and Knight. We also had a healthy Z that was turning heads in the league. That Cavs team looked to have a bright future, till Kemp got fat, Henderson forgot how to play (Bremer anyone?) Anderson got hurt (like he does every year) and of course Z's ankle problems continued. WE then drafted Andre Miller that lead to Knight being forced out of town...we all knew what took place with Andre next.

    I'll shut up and let you guys talk, LMAO.

    I actually enjoyed Ricky's and Darius' performances last year. Exciting yet pathetic.

    king james what do expect in the second half???? silas teams every year, improve in the second half of the season. i think silas will take a look at how to play offense against the zone, well that means someone is gonna hve to shoot the ball from the outside. but i do think the cavs will get the 8th spot and face indiana!

    yeah, to tell u the truth. ricky d was my favorite player, i just liked his attitude and how he dunks the ball. it was cool to see bron, miles, and davis play togather in the first half, they are 3 of he most talented BBall players in the league. it was exciting! butttttt, id rather see organised ball, and wins. and thats y i am glad we made these trades. i wish we could have gotten eric snow instead of mcinnis though.

    I do miss the 1st half team. Wow we had some talent. Too bad they just weren't mature enough to play together.

    yeah, i would have liked to have kept miles, but look, we have a point guard now. damnnn miles is gonna be good if he developes his shot. i think the trailblazers are like 8-2 since the trade or something like that, an miles is starting wowow. ah well life goes on. to tell u the truth the cavs are like a soap opera. lots of main storys surrounding these cavs this year!
