The Cleveland Cavaliers believe in the direction the franchise is headed, and Wednesday night is the first opportunity to grow towards success.
The words “growth” and “success” usually are not used in compliment of one another, except for the 2019-20 Cavaliers, where growth will be the measuring stick of success.
New coach John Beilein and two of Cleveland’s rookies will make their debut Wednesday night.
Orlando won 42 games last season and ended a playoff drought dating back to the 2011-12 season. A playoff drought such as that is defiantly something Cleveland hopes to avoid, as they are in the second year of the post LeBron era.
