At this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been halfway decent in the 2019-20 season.
Yes, they only have a 4-7 record, but they’ve been competitive for the most part in every game (the Dallas Mavericks loss had a disastrous fourth quarter and Thursday against the Miami Heat had a horrible first half). While it’s nothing to write home about, the Cavaliers have a somewhat respectable net rating of minus-1.9.
That is 19th in the league, according to NBA.com. The Cavs’ defense has been pretty good, too, with a much-improved defensive rating of 16th in the Assocation, as opposed to the last-ranked defensive rating they had last year.
