Sports: The Cavs

Hailing from Cleveland, I am an eighteen year old man who has never witnessed a championship from my city. The Buckeyes won the championship in 2003, but that isn't enough for a kid who has grown up through pain and heartbreak of being sub-par and even the 2009 Cavaliers who were far from sub-par, and were actually stellar, still decided to let our city down, when defeated by the Orlando Magic.

We met the better team and we were extremely outmatched, and it was yet another moment of disappointment.

But as a Cleveland fan, I know only five words....

THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!

And this offseason has been stellar for the Cavs' front office, with the aquisitions of sold wing players Jamario Moon and Anthony Parker. We now have something on the wings we had none of last year, height.

Jamario Moon is a 28 year old, 6'8 SF/SG who had his break out season last year with the Toronto Raptors and after the midseason trade when he went to the Miami Heat, and judging by the press conference, he couldn't have been more happy to be playing along side LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Moon was signed as a Restricted Free Agent from the Miami Heat.

The other wingman the Cavs have acquired this offseason is veteran SG, Anthony Parker. He is a 34 years old and a 6'6 SG/SF who played most of his career overseas on Maccabi Tel Aviv. Parker was a key FA the Cavs were rumored to be pursuing since the Free Agency period started during the NBA offseason. Parker, like Moon, showed a lot of excitement and enthusiasm to be playing the Cavaliers organization.

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST....

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL

As you all know, Shaq has been on of the, if not THE most dominant player to ever pick up a basketball, and I couldn't be happier that he is a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since LeBron James has never played with a dominant post presence, like Shaq, critics often say he will clog the paint and give

LeBron nowhere to work, but I say FUCK THAT!

Dwyane Wade, like LeBron, has a very inconsistent jump shot, but that didn't stop him and Shaq from winning a ring together. The only worry I have as a Cavs fan, is that the egos of Shaq and LeBron will clash and it will be ugly, but other than that, this could, keep in mind I said COULD be the season of dreams, and I'm not going to let a small market hating channel like ESPN try to make me think other wise. Shaq has hinted that if this season goes well, he'd like to play three more seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and he is on a contract year, mix that with the fact that he wants to be the first to five

(before Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan) and I have a feeling we will be seeing a different side of the old fat out of shape, attention-whore Shaq, we've became accustomed too.

WELCOME TO CLEVELAND FELLAS!

GO CAVS!
