CLEVELAND– It’s that time of year. The Cleveland Cavaliers annual January slump is in full effect and with it, plenty of questions about not only whether or not they’re equipped to challenge Golden State in the NBA Finals, but if they’re equipped to even win the Eastern Conference.
That’s what happens after three straight losses, two by 28+ points at the hands of Minnesota and Toronto, and the latest of which featured Cleveland blowing a 22-point lead to the Pacers.
Panic is setting in.
But if there’s anything we’ve learned from each of the last two seasons, January basketball means very little come April, May and June.
