For those of you not playing along at home---Daugherty wasn't exactly the big fave of American Negroes here in Cleveland.
He was looked at as a huge crackah for his love of....yeech!!...NASCAR. I couldn't blame them one bit, basketball talent aside. You can't fool the Black people here...Trivisano.

Yeah, those Cav late 80s, early 90s teams were hilarious. Daugherty and his NASCAR and number 43 jersey in honor of Richard Petty, Larry Nance and his insatiable love and participating in drag racing, and adorable Mark Price feeding them all night long. They were pretty good when they were all healthy which was hardly ever.

Had forgot about the 43. Was thinking the same thing.3 teams worse than us and we lose 2 of 3 to each. But that Cavaliers team..injuries---some. No guts...mostly. Daugherty was an admirable center, but "a-yuk'ed" too much.

The "shot" year they were challenging for the 1 seed with Detroit and Mahorn punched Price in the head and he had post concussion symptoms the rest of the year and they faltered and Price even missed game 1 of the Chicago series which is often overlooked and pretty critical in a 5 game series, and they were down from the get go and still could have won the series. The next two years Price one year and Daugherty the next missed massive amounts of time in '90 and '91. They were both healthy again in '92 and went to the eastern finals. They signed the "Jordan stopper" in '93 (Gerald Wilkins) and that didn't work so well and by '94 Daugherty's back was kaput and he was done and so was that particular team. I think that team had guts. They just weren't as good as Detroit who they would have lost to even if "the shot" wasn't made and then Chicago. They were an easy team to pull for however.

OK...I am not going to replay the James discussion.
They won 57 twice and 54 once. You are right, there were injuries in other years.....but the hallmark of this team was that it was very,very good----and very.very soft. Let's about Johnny Killbane,Jimmy Bivins,Joey Maxim and Shondor Burns.
