Cleveland Cavaliers History
The Cavaliers joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1970 and made it to the playoffs for the first time in the 1975–76 season. The history of the team changed when they selected LeBron James — who grew up in the nearby city of Akron, Ohio — straight out of high school with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft.
James won Rookie of the Year and led the Cavs to the playoffs in his third season. They made it to the NBA Finals the following year, but were swept by the San Antonio Spurs. After Cleveland lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2009–10 playoffs, James announced his intention to take his talents to the Miami HEAT. He played in Miami for four seasons before returning to the Cavs for the 2014–15 campaign.
In 2016, led by James, the Cavaliers won their first NBA championship, overcoming a 3-1 deficit, and marking Cleveland's first major sports title since 1964.

What a game! Thrilling, suspenseful until the last minute, and a Cavs victory. Nobody wanted to leave downtown afterward. I saved my ticket to prove I WAS THERE!
Althought the cavs lost it was an exciting and great experience. The game was enntertaining, the staff very helpful and the overall experience a memorable one
This was the first time I'd ever gone to an NBA game! I had an awesome time! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The crowd participation was amazing! I will certainly be coming back for the next basketball season! Dare I say......playoff game!!! :)
MY SON AND I WERE IN LOUDVILLE, WHERE THE REAL FANS LIVE. GREAT SEATS, GREAT FANS ALL AROUND US, AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ELECTRIC. WHEN THERE WAS ONLY A FEW SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME, MY 10 YEAR OLD WAS LIKE "MOM LET'S GO, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME LEFT" I TURNED TO HIM AND SAID SON "IT'S NEVER TO LATE" NEXT THING I KNOW, LEBRON HIT THAT SHOT AND WE WENT BALLISTIC, SCREAMING, CRYING, LAUGHING AND CHEERING THE KING AND THE REST OF THE TEAM ON........IT WAS AMAZING, FANS WERE HIGH-FIVING US AS WE LEFT THE PARKING DECK, MY SON HELD HIS HAND OUT THE CAR WINDOW, AND FANS WERE HIGH-FIVING US! IT WAS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!!! UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT.
LBJ 3 pointer at the buzzer to win it= best game ever attended! We will get em' next year Cavs!
I bought a ticket for this game that morning. It was worth every bit of it's $475 price! The seat was 12 rows behind the basket LeBron put the rock through the hoop to win the game. A moment that will forever be indelibly etched in my mind forever. Great game too!
I really enjoyed the experience, even though we lost the series. The atmosphere at the Que was awesome. The fans give new meaning to the phrase “Keep Hope Alive!”. I enjoyed my view so much that I upgraded my seat from "Loudville" to a lower level club seat. This way I will be really close up to the action, during all of next season’s games. Go Cavs! The open buffet was great! I met some really nice people.
Although the Cavs surprisingly lost this playoff game, the crowd was into the game all night! We also got to "WITNESS" Lebron's more than half court shot at the end of the first half. Any seat at the Q is a great seat to watch the Cavs - looking forward to next season!
took a bit of time to get a choice of tickets, but once in the computer queue, was easy to complete transaction
All i got to say is the last shot was the most amazing thing i have seen live at a sporting event. I wouldnt trade that experience for anything.
The game was absolutely amazing. It was a once in a lifetime oppurtrunity to see some of the greatest athletes in the world. These guys are amazing in person. They are so big and fast and strong. All I can say is wow!!
Great game (except the final score, of course)! Seats were excellent and as usual, experience at the Q is always a good one.!
