30. Cleveland Cavaliers (0-6)

To say that the Cleveland Cavaliers have been disappointing to start the season would be an understatement. Even though this team lost LeBron James via free agency this summer, many still expected this team to at least be a playoff contender.

After all, they had done enough to retain Kevin Love and much of the team despite losing their big piece. Plus, they added Collin Sexton, who was one of the most prolific point guards in this year’s draft class.

Although, to start the season at least, it hasn’t worked out. The team has a bottom 5 offense and defense. They don’t have a clear leader and Sexton hasn’t been as prolific as many thought (including myself) he’d be. The Cavs likely won’t be in any playoff race unless they turn things around soon.
