Despite returning most of their 64-win team from a year ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers have gotten off to a very slow start this season. They are currently 17-16 and are only the 8th seed in the East.
There are still 49 games left, but at some point the Cavs have to wake up from their funk. They are too talented to keep playing at this level. Fortunately for them, they are getting healthier.
Sam Merrill returned from a lengthy absence due to a hand injury. Darius Garland seems to be rounding into form after toe surgery.
