  • On this episode of Bulldozed, Bomani Jones recaps how the 1980s-90s Cleveland Cavaliers drafted a title contender, featuring Mark Price and Brad Daugherty, but gave up 40-plus points to Michael Jordan 21 times, including seven times during their playoff series losses to the Chicago Bulls.

      Well I'm from Cleveland I dont think he was underrated. The PG spot was loaded at that time but he still made allstar teams, all nba teams.. its just that his skill set is more "appreciated" now bc it fits the playing style of "PGs" now. He was a shooter that disrupted the rock well. His shortcomings came on defense like Nash, Curry and unlike Isiah Thomas john Stockton etc etc.. the cavs whole team fits todays era more than the late 80s early 90s. We had shooters and skilled players ..the league wanted dunkers and slashers

      The Cavs were on a similar overall level as the Knicks in that era, although I'm sure they would've done more if not for untimely injuries, and if they kept Ron Harper. Those were good tough teams that the Bulls had to get by, but they did, even though there was struggle. The Pistons are remembered more as a Bulls-roadblock cause they actually beat the Bulls, and then won in the Finals after that. The Knicks win over the Bulls in 94' somewhat doesn't count, cause Jordan was banned for gambling, and cause the Knicks lost to the Rockets in the Finals.

      The main reason is the footage. We have HD and 4K cameras now - they can show off the players better.

    I've been a diehard Cavs fan since 1986 (I was six years old) and yeah, those late '80s and early '90s teams were pretty good! They were almost the prototype for the modern Golden State Warriors (Mark Price is almost like an early version of Steve Nash and Steph Curry). I feel we were one superstar away from winning. Maybe if the team didn't trade Ron Harper for Danny Ferry, we would've won. Maybe if the rules were like today, we would've won. Oh well, I'm very happy we won it all in 2016! It's funny when you look at those Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah Chicago Bulls teams from the 2010s and how they couldn't beat Cleveland because of LeBron James. But I think that's good enough for me.

      @@swpdisciple It was more because his prime was cut short due to injuries though, than even career being cut short. He played till he was 34 (same age at which Troy Aikman retired, who was a 1st Ballot Hall of Famer). Neither had the longevity, but Troy was basically in his prime from 2nd season till season before his last, whereas Price really only had about 5 prime performance seasons. He didn't play till he was 41 like John Stockton, but 34 is a relatively advanced age already, even if no injuries. I already started losing some noticeable foot speed and jumping ability at 26, and I was never injured, yet always training since 12. So many don't realize how narrow an athletic window can really be. Mark Price was 'only' 25 in 89', but between the Rick Mahorn brutal elbow, and then the groin pull he was playing through in the Bulls series, that caused him to also miss the opening Game of that series the Cavs lost at home by 7, it was a devastating blow. Craig Ehlo was getting older, and nursing a sprained ankle in that same series that caused him to miss Game 3 in Chicago, that the Cavs lost by 7. They were clearly not at full strength in the 4 games that each of them did play in. I wasn't sure they had more chances to come w/ that group, and they had a few more good teams after that, but I only felt they really could've won it all in 89'.

    The Daugherty/Nance/Price teams were very good. 2nd best team in the league in 91-92. But by 1991 the Daugherty, Nance, Harper, Price team would have been outstanding and winning 65+ games a season. But, when they traded Harper they tore their own heart out. Ron Harper, before his ACL, was a phenomenal two-way player and was the exact man the Cavs needed to beat the Bulls. No one was going to shut Jordan down, but Harper made him work on both ends. And that plays a key role as a series progresses into Games 6 & 7 as a tired Jordan doesn't;t have the depth those Cavs teams did to pick up the slack. Had the Cavs kept that Price/Harper/Nance/Daugherty core intact as they matured, by 1991 they were at least the match of the Bulls and I think they beat them in the playoffs at least once in that 3-4 year span. Daugherty himself said the Harper trade was catastrophic and that they could have handled Jordan and used to whip them. People forget that Jordan hit "The Shot" against a very young Cavs team. Daugherty, Price and Harper were like 23-24 years old at the time. They were just getting ramped up. They needed seasoning yet, which Jordan had by 1989. Harper was the key and it was 100% apparent in those playoff series after they traded him. The Cavs were soft because Harper had all the grit and swagger. Worst trade ever.
