If you weren’t aware, the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost their first three games of the 2018-19 regular season. The first couple of contests has featured disastrous second quarter outbursts by all three of their opponents in the Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Atlanta Hawks, and I get what you’re thinking: this is really, really, really, awful.
Well, like you, I agree, but I’m not going to completely be in for the Cavs throwing in the proverbial towel yet. We know that the upper management of the team wanted to compete for a postseason birth, or at least said so, and head coach Tyronn Lue echoed that philosophy in training camp.
