No, we’re not.
Nets and Philly both glad they don't see us in the first round lol

We’d be like all the teams LeBron faced in the first round - squashed bugs on the windshield of his Finals runs.Nets and Philly both glad they don't see us in the first round lol
People tend to forget how weird this season was, specially for the cavs. There were a few games that we didn't have any guards at all. Love's injury. Drummond's status. KPJ going berserk.Nets and Philly both glad they don't see us in the first round lol

Do guys even remember the time we had too much guards in sexland, delly and exum? Seems like a life time ago huh?

Ignoring the time the Pacers took us to 7 and could have easily won, or any of the other 1st round weird matchups that gave them trouble. Yeah if you ignore that stuff, or how the 1st round often solidified who was dependable the rest of the playoffs, I guess your are right.
There is one answer to your concern - toronto. Tormented by lebron and the cavs, they pounced on the opportunity when they got it and won it all. The key is being in the position to do so, something a lot of people with the "can't win it all", "probably a first round exit", don't realize.Give us an above average wing and put us up against superstar-laden teams like Philly, Brooklyn, or either LA team and we’d still get stomped.
We‘re a young improving team that’s fun to watch but we have a LONG way to go to be competitive on that level. Note that adding the wing still means we have zero superstars.
As for LeBron occasionally having to press to get past the first round - fact is he’s never lost in the first round. Teams with multiple superstars rarely do.
Kawhi is a superstar, not an above average wing.There is one answer to your concern - toronto. Tormented by lebron and the cavs, they pounced on the opportunity when they got it and won it all.

Isaiah Hartenstein has a concussion and is out for Monday vs. Toronto.
This is a tough blow as Hartenstein has been outstanding in limited minutes. Dean Wade and Kevin Love could pick up run as the Cavs roll out smaller lineups.
Matthew Dellavedova (neck) is out for Monday vs. Toronto.
If Delly is on your fantasy roster your season ended months ago.
Larry Nance fractured his right thumb on Sunday night and will not play vs. the Raptors on Monday.
The Cavaliers were pretty much eliminated from the postseason over the weekend so they won't rush Nance back. There's no word of a specific timetable though. Dean Wade could pick up some run and is worth a look in deeper formats.
