Cleveland Cavaliers Team Overview
Cleveland clinched the Eastern Conference title last season but stumbled in the playoffs, crashing out in the first round against Indiana. During the offseason, the team didn't shine in the NBA Summer League and went on to lose their preseason opener to Chicago (117-118). Once again, their defensive struggles came to the forefront despite their impressive offense (let's not forget, the Cavaliers topped the scoring charts in the previous regular season). While outcomes of these games aren't drawing much attention yet, the coaching staff is undoubtedly concerned about the ongoing issues around their rim.
