Not counting the Cleveland Cavaliers season finale, Cleveland finished the regular season winning 11 of their last 13 games. While that doesn’t quite match the 16-game win streak Philadelphia will enter the playoffs with, it is reassuring that this team can play together and string off wins when they need to.
However, just like any team, they do have their faults. The one thing that sets Cleveland apart from most Eastern Conference is the pure excellence of LeBron James, but even LeBron James needs help. Will he have that help?
Four of the team’s contributors have been with the team for less than half the season, and with most of them without too much playoff experience, they’ll need players like LeBron and the recently added Kendrick Perkins to show them the ropes.
