When the Wine and Gold wrapped up the 2013-14 regular season, closing out the campaign with a win over Brooklyn, the ten Cavaliers who played that night had a total of 36 games of playoff experience. (And even that was spread between just two players – Jarrett Jack and Spencer Hawes – with 18 postseason games each.)
For comparison’s sake, this season’s Cavaliers wrapped up their regular season with a group of veterans who had a combined 784 games of playoff experience. One of those infinitely-experienced vets was James Jones – who, along with LeBron James, made his fifth straight NBA Finals appearance this past June, something that hadn’t been individually accomplished since the Celtics dynasties of the ‘60s.
