Strange Feeling After 3-Game Roadie

The Cavs went 3-0 on their west coast trip. If I didn’t pay attention to any of the game results or trends, I would be happy, but the story goes much deeper than that.
Cleveland, whom prides itself on tough defense, got shredded in a couple of those games, and also had to rally to win the games vs. the Clippers and Kings, two moribund teams. It shouldn’t have to come to that. The Cavs are the top road draw in the NBA and will get every team’s best shot. I realize that. The Cavs are their “super bowl.” Early in the season, though, Cleveland was burying those kind of teams, and getting plenty of rest for the starters.
Congrats on winning the central title for the first time in 33 years. While I do realize that some games, you just win any way you can, as you have to take what you can get, Cleveland needs to get the ball rolling on the defensive end of the court again, and put these lottery bound teams away. This is energy being wasted that will be needed for the playoffs.
