The team began play as an expansion team in 1970, along with the Portland Trail Blazers and Buffalo Braves. Home games were first held at Cleveland Arena from 1970 to 1974, followed by the Richfield Coliseum from 1974 to 1994.

The Cavaliers’ loss in the 2018 NBA Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers were defeated in the 2018 NBA Finals by the Golden State Warriors in four games. It was a tough loss for the Cavaliers, who had made it to the Finals for the fourth consecutive year. The loss ended their chances of winning back-to-back championships, and it was also the first time that they had lost in the Finals.
The Cavaliers’ future after the 2018 NBA Finals
The Cavaliers entered the 2018 NBA Finals as underdogs against the Warriors, and after losing the first two games of the series, it looked like they were going to be swept. However, LeBron James and company fought back and won the next three games to force a Game 7. In the end, the Warriors were too much for the Cavaliers, winning the series 4-3.
Now that the 2018 NBA Finals are over, what does the future hold for the Cavaliers? It’s unclear what will happen with LeBron James, who is a free agent this offseason. If he leaves, it’s very unlikely that the Cavaliers will be able to compete for a title anytime soon. However, if he stays, they should still be a force in the Eastern Conference. Either way, it’s going to be an interesting offseason for the Cavaliers.
