The Cleveland Cavaliers were supposed to be the best team in the Eastern Conference. They have stumbled out of the gate, just 12-7 and in 5th-place in the Eastern Conference. And the most telling stat to explain their performance thus far should frustrate them -- but also provide hope for the future.
Last year, the Cavaliers were a juggernaut. They started the season 15-0. They went on three different winning streaks of at least 10 games. They were not only the best team in the East, but finished well ahead of the pack with a whopping 64 wins.
