Cavs and Timberwolves Clash in a Battle Where Defense Might Just Be Forgotten—What Will This Mean for the Outcome?
The Cavs are going to cost me a bunch of money this year because I thought they were actually good. At 21-17, if this team sneaks into the playoffs with an opening round home court advantage, it will be a shock. That isn’t to say they haven’t had moments of being good. They’ve won four of the past five games, and they are still over .500, so I guess you can’t think they are fully a disaster. The success of last season is just that, last season. There have been injuries, which I suppose you can blame some of the lack of consistent play on, and some other teams have gotten better as well. However, the reality is that this is a wide open year for the Eastern Conference with only the Knicks really looking like a team that has the combination of talent and experience to reach the Finals. Cleveland, behind Donovan Mitchell, could’ve taken advantage of the injuries to the Pacers and Celtics, and maybe they will. Maybe there is a second gear they will put it in when they make the playoffs. Whatever the case may be, this is not the same dominant team as last year.Â
