Post-All-Star break has not been pretty for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Injuries have hit this team hard, seeing them run five different starting lineup variations in their last 11 games. Injuries have played a part but do not tell the whole story of the Cavaliers’ woes. The Cavaliers are 3-8 in their last 11 games, putting up stinkers against teams who they should be able to compete against.
Even with this stretch, the Cavs are just five games back of the eighth seed which further shows just how much worse the Eastern Conference is than the Western Conference.
