The Cleveland Cavaliers finished the 2018-19 season with a less-than-stellar record of 19-63, and they had the worst net rating of any team in the NBA (per NBA.com).
They played hard all year, and that was at least encouraging, and when All-Star Kevin Love was playing a significant minutes-share, the team was much more respectable, as we’ve noted countless times here at KJG.
Last year, Cleveland had tons of injury problems, with their bigs in particular, as Love for example, only appeared in 22 games (per Basketball Reference), mostly due to him reportedly having toe surgery shortly after the start of the season.
