Cavs miss the playoffs

With the departure of LeBron from the Cleveland Cavaliers over the summer he took with him the chances of Cleveland making the playoffs. LeBron over the years at Cleveland wielded the team through to the playoffs and Finals almost singlehandedly at times.

With LeBron gone, the Cavaliers are certainly not going to better their win tally of 50 wins last season.

Although there is a lot of pump and excitement regarding their Rookie Colin Sexton and also an increased offensive reliance on Kevin Love it’s still not enough for the Cavaliers to contest for a playoff spot in the revamped Eastern Conference.
