WAITERS AND ZELLER NAMED TO NBA ALL-ROOKIE TEAMS
"Congratulations to Dion and Tyler on receiving this special recognition," said Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant. "They both worked very hard this year and we know they are focused on their continued improvement as well, not only individually, but for our growth as a team."
Waiters received 21 first-team votes and eight second team votes (for a total of 50 points) while Zeller received 15 total points (three first-team and nine second-team votes) from the NBA's 30 head coaches, who were asked to select five players for the first team and five players for the second team, regardless of position. Coaches were not permitted to vote for players on their own team. Two points were awarded for first team votes and one for second team votes.
"I'm honored to receive an award like this and it makes me hungry to keep working hard and focus on taking the next steps to improve my game," said Waiters. "I can't wait to get back to work with my teammates and Coach Brown, though, because I'm excited about what our potential can be as a group."
Waiters averaged 14.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steal Read More

As a Cleveland sports fan in recent years, we've had our fair share of disappointment but have had great times to. Sadly though our only celebration of a championship has come once which was in 2003 for the Buckeyes and no disrespect to Ohio state but we are starving for a professional title.
We all remember how close we came to winning the World Series in 97' with the Tribe and I can remember how heart breaking that felt. Imagine how great that would have felt to win that title in 1997. Oh so close!
How about the cavaliers in the Lebron era? Though we only went to the finals in 2007 and were swept at that, how many years did we feel as though this was our year? Its unfortunate how Lebron handled the situation and Read More
