Top 5 Cavs seasons: Where does this impressive Wine and Gold season land?

The fourth-best Cavs season: 2006-07

The Cavs were starting to build a winner behind the play of a young LeBron James. Mike Brown was the head coach and the team ended up going 50-32 and managed to work their way into the NBA Championship where they played the far more experienced and veteran team in the San Antonio Spurs.

LeBron and his Cavs got swept but at the time you thought you’d be seeing Cleveland back in the Finals the next season. That didn’t happen and instead, a couple seasons later James was off to Miami Beach.

However, while they were in this season, the Cavs were unstoppable until the very end. In the playoffs they ran by the Washington Wizards in the first round. Then they got challenged by the New Jersey Nets before winning the series and then they had to play their nemesis in the Detroit Pistons. They were the team in the East to beat and Cleveland had their chance in this epic battle.

It took the Cavaliers and James having a historic performance in a Game 5 double overtime win to really secure the series and a chance in the NBA Finals. In this monumental performance James was unstoppable, going for 48 points and scoring pretty much every point as the game got to the end. Cleveland had finally made it to the top.
