Cleveland- With the Cleveland Cavaliers homestand wrapping up on Monday night, fans have to optimistic about the Cavs play of late. Winners in five of their last ten games, the Cavaliers have played some of their best basketball lately. An obvious reason why is the return of All-Star forward Kevin Love, his presence makes a clear difference for the young Cavs.
Without Love, this season, Cleveland’s front office shifted their focus to asset building rather than winning. A model that is often scoffed at because it appears that the ultimate goal is losing, and no one wants to cheer for a losing franchise.
