The Cleveland Cavaliers should be utilizing a multitude of lineups next season.
In the stretch post-All-Star break leading into the NBA season’s novel coronavirus-induced hiatus, the Cleveland Cavaliers were playing better.
That was in the opening span of games in which J.B. Bickerstaff took over as the squad’s head coach, and in that time, the Wine and Gold were a much more respectable 5-6, as compared to their 2019-20 overall record of 19-46.
In that stretch, Cleveland was sixth in the league in assist rate and 10th in effective field goal shooting rate, too.
