[edit] 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)

[edit] 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

[edit] 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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)
