It’s been a rough patch for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as they’ve been losers of five straight games, and Cleveland got waxed by the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
In the first full month of the 2019-20 season, Cleveland is just 2-8, and they’ve been blown out in their last four games.
Key reserve big Larry Nance Jr. missing matchups against the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks due to a banged-up thumb, along with star big Kevin Love being out due to back soreness against the Knicks, didn’t help.
Starting 5 and crucial piece Tristan Thompson having a rest day at the Heat didn’t make things easier for Cavs head coach John Beilein and company, but the beat must go on for the Wine and Gold.
