The NBA regular season came to a close last night and now the fun can begin.
After having a record of just 10-14 since March 1, the Cavs have their work cut out for them.
In last year's epic NBA Finals series against the Warriors, James inspired the Cavaliers in an unprecedented recovery from 3-1 down to a 4-3 series victory. "But when things don't go your way and adversity hits, how can you get back to the point that nobody thinks you can get back to?" Coach Brad Stevens even said "Cleveland is the team to beat...they deserve that". Not Wall, Beal, and Porter, not Thomas, Bradley, and Horford, none of them. "But I've got the answer why I feel like we've got a great chance". Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. I've got to be the leader of this team every time I step on the floor.
So what has been happening with this Cavaliers team this year? You guys can harp on the regular season. Are there real defensive problems with this team? IN sat at ninth place in the East when the calendar flipped to April, but finished the regular season on a 5-1 run thanks to George's all-encompassing dominance of 32.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game on a scorching true shooting percentage of 66.7. It's not that simple, honestly.
"It's been odd events this season, unfortunate events, some of them bad, some of them good, but at the end of the day I can't have my mind focused on the past now", James said. Does this mean that they're fine?

Ten-man Bayern Munich had goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to thank for keeping the scoreline down as Real Madrid beat them 2-1. Replays showed contact was made outside the box but Griezmann duly stepped up to send Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way.
As 2017 arrived, the Cavaliers became inconsistent. This can be a real thing, I believe. If the Bulls win, they're in.

But critics are quick to point out that these are not last season's Cavs, and their four-game season-ending losing streak and stumbling 23-23 finish are all the proof you need of that. James said Thursday. "We want to win, our coaching staff gives us a game plan, let's execute it and our coaching staff will make the necessary adjustments if needed and put us in position to win and it's up to us to go out and execute it".
The time has come for the National Basketball Association playoffs to start, and if anyone thinks that the Cavaliers are vulnerable, just remember this: previous year, the Warriors had what many have said is the greatest regular season of all-time. The Playoffs will tip off this Saturday at 3pm featuring the #2 seeded, defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers against the Indiana Pacers.
With six straight Finals appearances, James has a level of credibility on such matters not many cam rival. Irving had the best season of his career scoring-wise, averaging 25.2 points per game to go along with 5.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. It's far too soon to be counting this team out, so please, don't do it.
