CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Tonight the Cleveland Cavaliers (0-1) are on the road again against another likely playoff team, the Minnesota Timberwolves (0-1). This after opening the season in Toronto against the Kawhi Leonard-led Raptors.
The Cavaliers have stated that they are not tanking and that they expect to compete for a playoff spot this season without LeBron, but it's hard to imagine the Cavs actually doing it after watching the Cavs lose by 12 points to Toronto Wednesday.
Against Toronto, the Cavs were competitive but didn't seem to have enough firepower to consistently put the ball in the basket despite Kevin Love scoring 21 points and Cedi Osman scoring 17 points.
