The Cleveland Cavaliers will come into the new season as one of the favorites in the Eastern Conference. After a terrific regular season the year before where they won 64 games, many are expecting the Cavaliers to make a lot of noise once again this year. What derailed their title chances last season was key injuries at the most inopportune time. Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and De’Andre Hunter all missed time in the semifinals loss to the Indiana Pacers. Cleveland still boasts one of the best rosters in the league led by an intriguing “core four,” of Mobley, Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Jarrett Allen. The Cavaliers know how to get it done in the regular season, but the question is whether they can win when it really counts?
