30. Cleveland Cavaliers (1-9)

Last week: 30 

This really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. The Cleveland Cavaliers have only won one game through three weeks this season, and won’t have Kevin Love available for at least the next month, probably more.

Even with Love, this team wasn’t scaring anyone in the Eastern Conference. Now that their best player is officially out for the foreseeable future, this team is even less of a force. They also just fired their head coach, and J.R. Smith reportedly wants a trade.

Are Cavs’ fans having fun yet? It’s amazing how much of an impact a player like LeBron James can have on a franchise. It’s actually quite sad to see how far the Cavs have fallen since his departure during the summer.
