The Cleveland Cavaliers at the beginning of the season was labeled as a “Super Team.” The Cavaliers are a good team and still has the potential to win another NBA Championship despite their slow start. The Cavaliers has started the season off 3-1. After their start, the Cavaliers went on a 4 game losing streak. They also lost 5 of the last 6 games that they have played. The wait for Isaiah Thomas continues as the Cavaliers are trying to find ways to win games. The Cavaliers have been trying to find the right chemistry to be able to win more games.
Dwyane Wade decided it was best for the team if he came off the bench. With that move, J.R. Smith would be the new wing starter for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since coming off the bench, Dwyane Wade has been a key component for the second unit. Kevin Love also had a position change where this is his first season playing center where his original positon is a power forward. Tristan Thompson is also out with an injury which is another key player that is out of the lineup.
The game that LeBron James had when playing the Washington Wizards may have gave the Cavaliers a spark. Before playing the Washington Wizards, John Wall released a statement that was aimed at the Cleveland Cavaliers. I guess the statements that were made lit a fire under LeBron James. In the game against the Washington Wizards, LeBron James went off for 57 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. He became the youngest player to score 29,000 points passing Kobe Bryant. The 57 points that LeBron scored was a NBA best this season so far. The final score of the game was 130-122.
