Cleveland has had bad luck with our professional sports teams for much too long now. Luckily, this year, we have the Cavaliers to bring Clevelander's hopes back up.

So far Cleveland has been in luck and the Cavs have won the first round in the playoffs. Cleveland has some of the most die-hard fans of all professional sports teams' cities. We have rightfully claimed the name "Believeland," since we have never given up on our city and our sports teams.

This summer is about to be all Cavs and all Cleveland. You can expect every Cleveland fan downtown or at the Q during the playoffs, because we will always stand with our Cleveland teams. Even if Cleveland isn't winning, we are still one of the best cities to play for, because we will always support our teams. But if we do start winning, I can promise that Cleveland is one of the greatest cities to be a part of. And for the players, it is one of the greatest cities to play for. The city's slogan "There's always next year" will hopefully be broken after this year's NBA playoffs. Here are a few things to pick out fair-weather fans and a true Cavaliers fan.

1. You know who played for the Cavs in 2005-2008 and is now a part of the coaching staff (Damon Jones).

2. You have imitated the famous Lebron chalk toss.

3. You hate the Detroit coach, Stan Van Gundy.

4. You know who Mr. Cavalier is (Austin Carr) if you listen to every game.

5. “The Shot” is in your nightmares.

6. You cried when Andy left.

7. You destroyed your Lebron jersey when he left.

8. But you still welcomed him with open arms when he came back to Cleveland.

9. You know what's on the corner of Ontario and Huron.

10. You know you were happy to see this sign/mural go back up.

The Cavaliers put some hope in the Cleveland fans. It's no longer the factory of sadness. Cleveland has more to offer than just its sports teams, but it is our team that binds us together. Every true Cavs fan should know or at least agree with these 10 facts.

The Cavs have been the pride and joy of Cleveland the past few years and they aren't going anywhere. So watch out Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Golden State, and San Antonio, because this year is the year of the Cavs. It has always been Cleveland against the world, but this year, Cleveland will rock the world. We are the underdogs that nobody expects. What better way to win than proving the nation wrong by winning as the underdogs?

Cleveland is the greatest city to be a part of. I am proud to call myself a Clevelander and so should you. This is our year, the year of the Cavs.
