The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to write their own destiny and are attempting attempt to go on a huge playoff run for the first time in a long time without the king LeBron James. and they can do it. The Cleveland Cavaliers are led by a potent powerful starting lineup of PG Darius Garland, SG Donovan Mitchell (all star), SF Max Strus, PF Evan Mobley, and C Jarrett Allen. This starting five is one of the best in the NBA, with the shooting of Mitchell, Garland, and Strus and then the defense of the big men Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The bench production is stellar as well, with Caris Levert, Georges Niang, and Sam Merrill picked up from a Gg League roster! The coach for the Cavaliers, J.B Bickerstaff, has made this team a winner but also proved people wrong at theas the start of the year when they started 13-12. A very mediocre record for a team built like Cleveland, and everyone was chanting for an in season firing, but owner Dan Gilbert and management decided to stick with him. J.B. Now, he has exploded from that slow start. After the 13-12 start, he went on a current 25-8 run and sits tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for first place in the division and second in the Eastern Conference conference at 38-20.

Last year the Cavs finished the regular season in fourth place in the Eastern Cconference and lost to the fifth-seed fifth seed New York Knicks in the first round 4-1. A very disappointing end to a very good season and the first in Cleveland for Donovan Mithell. At the press conference after the season Cavs big man Jarrett Allen stated
“Tthe lights were brighter than expected.””. That made Cavs fans very angry because if you are a professional basketball player making millions of dollars to go and win playoff games, you can’t use that as an excuse, but hopefully this year the Cavs will have some experience in the playoffs and win some playoff games and going on a run and with some new additions that they made in the off season the Cavs can do that. These new additions include consider of a guy who played in the NBA finals last year, a small forward, and shooter Max Strus. Another, another one they made is a bench player and a guy who can do pretty much anything, Georges Niang, they also drafted a couple of guys who that can help and develop themselves as role players only one of them getting minutes, but he is making huge contributions Craig Porter Jr coming off the bench., They also drafted Emoni Bates where he is playing on both the Canton Charge and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Big improvements the Cavs worked on and improved in the off season areis their defense and not forcing shots up right now the Cavs are allowing just 109.7 points per game, and they are shooting 48.3% on shots. Those two things are really impressive. The ability to win ugly as well is a huge thing as to why the Cavs are as good as they are right now. The the amount of times they have come back from huge deficits, not even against bad teams one game they came back on the road against the Dallas Mavericks and MVP candidate Luka Doncic down twenty points. They also have only one overtime loss since 2021, a double overtime loss against the Bulls this past Wednesday. This Cavs team is for real for real if They stay healthy and Donovan Mitchell stays hot, they can challenge the Boston Celtics for the Eastern Conference crown. Watch out for the Cleveland Cavaliers in April.
