I'm curious what everyone think.
What are the three biggest things the Cavs need to improve on?
Defense, Defense, and Defense.
It's hard to not impress on everyone that this team has been, for two years in a row, historically bad at defense. Altman hasn't exactly helped with player acquisitions, but at some point this team needs to grow on the defensive end to not be historically bad.
To give you the real list?
Defense, Passing, and Turnovers.
While Passing and Turnovers obviously go together, the Cavs are woefully incompetent in creating for others from their backcourt. If they can become average, the team as a whole would take a giant step on the offensive side.
Not sure how the Cavs ranked in Turnovers, but teams can always improve on not being bad at them.
What player(s) needs to step up this upcoming season?
The list should probably begin and end with Sexton. Although obviously Garland should be considered, Sexton needs to prove that he can put a full year of great play on the court before the Cavs can fully trust him. Not to mention he needs to make a leap in either defense or passing at some point.
Do yall think the NBA will have a bubble or several bubbles for the whole season?
With the new saliva testing being available and developed by the NBA, I think it's possible they might try an MLB model. It's going to be a terrible time to do it, given the season will likely start in the Winter when cases are likely to peak again, but if there is a fast test, they may not need to create a bubble.
Do yall think it's realistic this team can make the playoffs. Atleast,make it interesting like push for the 8th or 9th seed?
Regardless of what we think, the team seems to be saying this is where we are going to go next year. Do they have the talent to do it? Sure, Love and Drummond alone is enough if you have the right pieces around them. Now these young guys need to make a massive leap, and they have to hit big time on their 1st pick this year, as well.
I think it's realistic but hopeful, ultimately. Hell, they weren't that far out after pissing away half the year last year being terrible. So it's possible, and I would expect them to make a push.
