CLEVELAND Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. sat in his locker in the home locker room at Quicken Loans Arena on Friday night and reflected on what was an eventful 2017-2018 season.

You didn't listen, and I love you for it.

With only a few exceptions, if you emailed me here or tweeted me with the hashtag #heyjoecavs since the playoffs started in mid-April, your answer is below. I thought it would be cool to see what was on your mind then, and apply the answers to what transpired through the Cavs' run to the Finals.

And, um, sorry for the delay, Adrian from Vancouver. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
