Blogdom's Best: Cleveland Cavaliers

cavscavslogo.jpgIt might not — yet — have the online fanaticism and cachet of baseball, but the NBA and its fans are starting to catch up in the world of team-devoted blogs. To this end, Deadspin salutes these modem-addled souls and proudly presents Blogdom's Best, given to the most outstanding blog for each NBA team. There are fewer than there are for baseball, but they're out there, if you look. If you would like to nominate a blog (yours, even) for selection, just let us know at tips@deadspin.com. Today: The Cleveland Cavaliers.

Our favorite Cavaliers coach? Bob Kloopenberg, of course (1981-82). Favorite player? A tie between Carlos Boozer and Bingo Smith. Favorite current player? Drew Gooden. Hardest Cavalier name to spell? Martynas Andriuskevicius. It's hard to believe that the Cavs have only been around since 1970, with no NBA championships. Can LeBron James lead them to the Promised Land? Here are some opinions:

3. Cavaliers Blog. We usually don't include blogs that are affiliated with newspapers, but Brian Windhorst succeeds in bringing a devoted fan's touch to this effort.
2. Mistake by the Lake Sporting Times. Check out the in-depth examination of NBA tattoos.
1. Cavalier Attitude. Written by dedicated people, the discerning Cavaliers fan's blog of choice.

Honorable Mention: Cleveland Rox. Written by a 14-year-old, covers all Cleveland sports; that is, as much as his own school basketball practice will allow.
