I still think this team wins the East - but it will be very, very ugly for months. They are a classic example of a team that - on paper - boasts big names - but in actuality - features worn out stars who are too "made" to want to hustle and play D -- they just aren't hungry. The TT injury was the icing on the cake.

I think the ship turns around in December/January with IT's return and a subsequent trade to bring in a competent big - but Cleveland can't continue to dig *this* big of a hole against soft competition.
