Should J.B. Bickerstaff be the Cavs’ head coach long term?
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a very disappointing end to their 2022-23 season, as they lost in the first round. Not only that, it was in five games. To add insult to the already existing injury, the Cavs’ closest loss was only by four points in the first game, and the next-closest loss came in Game 4, where Cleveland lost by nine points.
Many believed that Cleveland would win that series, and that it could go to a Game 7. Even if Cleveland were to lose, it seemed unlikely it’d be in a short series. However, practically everyone on that Cavs roster underperformed tremendously, and the Cavaliers were one of the biggest (bad) surprises of the whole 2023 NBA Playoffs.
