Cleveland Cavaliers
2013-2014 Season Predictions
 | 44-38 7th in Eastern Conference | Oh, hope springs eternal. I have no idea whatsoever. A lot depends on the team health (looking at you Mr. Bynum,), but more depends on the development of our diaper dandies, and that includes Young Kyrie too. |
 | 41-41 7th Eastern Conference | Glad to have Mike Brown back. I always felt he got the raw end of the deal with The Decision. It will be fun to watch to see how the team responds with the new defensive mind set. Health is a concern, but when is it not? Should be fun come April. |

42-40
7th Eastern Conference | The Cavaliers aren't getting a ton of love nationally, but here in Homerville I'm relying on Mike Brown coaching up the Cavs enough on defense to get this team into the playoffs for the first time in the post-LeBron era. |

6th in Eastern Conference

Even when healthy, success for the Cavs is contingent on discipline: hard defensive rotations and shot selection. Kyrie needs to mature immediately. Tristan must maintain focus on both ends. Gun-show poster boys Waiters and Bennett will shoot us into the lottery if Coach Brown isn't careful. But I envision this team will be well-coached, hungry and balanced. Perfect year for a playoff push with much of the league tanking for Wiggins.

 | 42-40 7th in Eastern Conference | One game over .500 should be enough to get this young team some playoff experience in the weak Eastern Conference, which could be overshadowed by talk of you-know-who returning to "make things right", not only with the City he abandoned, but the coach he got fired. |
 | 41-41 8th in Eastern Conference | A lot of health concerns on this team starting with Bynum and Kyrie and Varejao and Bennett. Some good young talent if they can stay healthy. Should be fun to watch this team blossom into a playoff team and then watch Kyrie leave in a few years just as we become a contender. |
 | 39-43 8th in Eastern Conference | Cavs finally climb to mediocrity. Should be fun to watch for true hoops fans. |
