That Cavs' Price/Harper/Nance/Daugherty team would have been exceptionally good once they grew a bit. By 1991 they would have been as good as the Bulls. But they made two foolish mistakes: They did not protect Dell Curry in the Expansion Draft and Gordon Gund forcing Wayne Embry to trade Ron Harper tore the heart out of that team. With Harper they were perfectly positioned to take on the Bulls. He was the heart and soul of that team and a great defensive wing. He was such a dynamic player that gave that team grit and swagger. Without him they were soft and lacked a guy that could score at will as well as guard Jordan. The Cavs may have been the second best team in the NBA in 1991-92, but they never really had a chance at beating Jordan without Harper.

Where are you getting these games, and are there full games of Wilt to purchase? Or is it only clips

Depends, for most games there are only clips, but some games have veey long footage film. For exameple, games from 1970 Finals or 1972 WCF are around 20 minutes long each.

Daugherty was not the most mobile big man out there. But he was big and fairly strong, so he could hold positions without being pushed out. And he was a pretty good shooter with reliable jumper and jump hooks. But his defense. Yeesh. I chide David Robinson for being too passive all-around (still awesomely productive despite that, on both ends of the floor). But Brad makes David look like a minister delivering a fiery sermon. His defense is pretty much non-existent, and filled with half-hearted swipes and or complete contact avoidance. He put up a solid 20-10 for his injury-shortened career, but I would also water that his defense is a reason why the Cavs didn't become a true contender. Put him on an NBA team nowadays, and he would be a taller Enes Kanter. Gets points and rebounds, but also gives up points.

His defense was weak. He had Nance and Hot Rod to back him up. His lack of defense gave points to the opposing teams during crucial times. He was horrible on defense and should've been called out more. I like him but he was horrible on defense.

Daugherty in 1989 was still a bit doughy. But, once he shed some weight he was way more mobile. Watch his highlights from 1991 on and one sees a big change in his game. A lot more off-the-ball movement, and drives to the basket.
