Cleveland Cavaliers Weekly

The 2013-14 season has not treated the Cleveland Cavaliers kindly. The team began the year hoping to make the postseason for the first time since LeBron James left Cleveland for South Beach. But just days after the calendar turned over to 2014, the team finds itself with an 11-23 record, only 3.5 games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the worst record in the NBA. The Cavs did get the Andrew Bynum situation resolved, trading him and a package of draft picks to the Chicago Bulls for forward Luol Deng. Despite how bad their record is, the Cavs benefit from a weak Eastern Conference and sit only three games out of a playoff spot.
