If there’s anything that the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 4-0 record against Eastern Conference contenders shows, it’s that the 7-7 Cavs are anything but your average .500 team. If there’s anything to glean from LeBron James’ dominance and his inclination to taunt opponents like Enes Kanter and the New York Knicks, it’s that The King still reigns supreme in the NBA.
But if there’s anything that’s disappointing thus far it’s that the Cavs aren’t striking fear into the hearts of their opponent. It’s seen in their 3-7 record against the low-rung teams of the NBA. In the way those teams come out red-hot against the Cavs as little-known players set career-highs against a matador defense.
