The Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the NBA’s play-in tournament Friday night. While not all fans of the Cleveland Browns also follow the Cavaliers, there is significant overlap. For those that don’t follow the NBA, a quick picture of the Cavs this season:
Before the Season
- Haven’t made the playoffs without LeBron James in a long, long time
- Have had some high draft picks but none in the top three, the sweet spot in the NBA draft generally, until this season
- Drafted Evan Mobley, a tall lanky forward/center, on a team that already signed center Jarrett Allen to a big contract
- Were predicted by NBA.com to win 30 games
