The quest to earn Cleveland's first title since '64 and cement this entire team's legacy in Cleveland is 16 wins and begins now

Playoff threads are going to be awesome this year.

Thanks for setting the bar high, MoFlo, just where it should be. You brought back a lot of good memories I had put on hold for what I'll call the dark four years.

Gotta take this one out of the closet, finally.

I'm giddy as fuck thinking about the Cavs back in the playoffs. We're about to witness some extremely memorable basketball these next few months.

I love all you guys. Let's Go Cavs.
