Someone raised a good point in another thread and that is that right now, CLE is at risk to falling to 4th or 5th which would be great.  I think people are forgetting that the Cavs are going to get Love back pretty soon.  Think what you will about Love (I think he is overrated) but he will be a huge upgrade over Cedi Osman.

Anyway, If CLE drops to 4th or 5th, then I think I would rather be 2nd as I think CLE with Love will be in the Eastern Conf finals.  Don't want to have to play both CLE and TOR, rather see them fight is out against each other.
They definitely need Love back but he may not be ready until the end of the month.  Then he has to be integrated into the new team.  He should like being the #2 option now.

Stevens mentioned he made some tweaks to some plays during the all star break so I’m sure that helped.

Individually most of the players Irving, Brown, Rozier, Morris, and Theis before he got hurt seem to hit another hear in their play.  Smart has been solid since he came back from his injury, Monroe is settling in, and Tatum had a nice bounce back game yesterday as he has been struggling a bit.
