CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A year ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers entered the playoffs in a good state of mind.
Part of the reason was the coaching change at mid-season, Tyronn Lue replacing David Blatt as coach.
Lue had a huge advantage in the eyes of the players...
He's wasn't David Blatt.
He was a former player.
But this season, Lue has to show he can take a team from Day 1 of training camp to the NBA Finals.
This regular season has been rockier than the first two since LeBron James returned. Fewer regular season victories, more blown leads.
