The Cleveland Cavaliers (Cavs for short) are an American professional basketball team based in Cleveland. The Cavaliers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Eastern Conference Central Division of the league. The team began playing 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. Since 1994, the Cavs have played home games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in downtown Cleveland, which is shared with the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League. Dan Gilbert has owned the team since March 2005. The Cavaliers started their inaugural season, losing their first 15 games and struggling in their early years, getting no better than sixth place in the Eastern Conference in their first five seasons. The team won their first Central Division title in 1976, which also marked the first winning season and playoff appearance in franchise history, where they advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. The franchise was bought in 1980 by Ted Stepien. Stepien's tenure as owner was marked by six coaching changes, questionable transactions and design decisions, and poor turnout, resulting in $ 15 million in financial losses. The Cavs went 66-180 in that time and endured a 24-game loss in the 1981-82 and 1982-83 seasons.
