The backdrop of the NBA playoffs is one of the best scenes in sports. His uniform's T-shirt and waving rally towel make the postseason viewing experience special. It will be the same in this year's playoffs, with the Cleveland Cavaliers facing the Orlando Magic in the first round at Rocket Mortage Fieldhouse.
The Cavaliers organization has announced what it will give away to fans when Cleveland takes on Orlando in Game 1 on Saturday. (Tip-off for Game 1 is undecided)
The outline of the gift is as follows.
The scheduled whiteout will look good. There's something about everyone in the audience wearing the same colors that just screams “postseason.” But other than the “Basketabll V” logo on the right side and the “Let Em Know” phrase at the bottom, it's hard to tell it's a Cavs shirt.
Last year's uniforms featured a large “C” in the center and “Cleveland Cavaliers” primarily. Adding the Cavalier logo somewhere in this year's design would have gone a long way.

Whether the Cavaliers are handing out rally towels, T-shirts, or anything else, there's one thing left. That's the fact that the crowd needs to be loud on Saturday. The Magic are a relatively young team with little playoff experience and are in the same position as the Cavs last year.
The Cavaliers learned how playing in a hostile environment affects a team's rhythm, and with the help of their fans, they can bring that factor back to the Magic.
