Now Or Never

USPA NEWS - Last year we were "All In" and when I say we I meant Cleveland,Ohio. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the best team in the East this year. We are not looking like the best team in the NBA. The Warriors and Spurs continue to look well oiled machines and both teams haven't lost at home yet this season

The Cleveland Cavaliers are back again in 2016 to fight for a title shot. This time it is harder despite they have healthy players right now. The team chemistry is like Jekyll and Hyde. One game they look dominating and the next game they look like a 8th seed team. LeBron James is definitely the leader because he is the foundation that holds the team in place. Even though James has lost a lot of his shooting touch from last year. For the Cavs he must be a beast in the paint and let his teammates shoot the open jump shots.

Kyrie Irving is the next best player after James. Kyrie displays great dribbling ability and can score. As of late Kyrie dribbles to much and it hurts the team by causing turnovers. Irving doesn't finish completely at the rim like he was last year. He must either drive to the rim and past it or lay it up for the score. Also Irving must play better defense through the whole game and not just in the last minute of the games. There has been reports of his teammates calling him a ball hog. Kyrie must return to his Allstar form also for the Cavs to be successful in the playoffs. Kyrie is a good player but he can definitely do better.

Last but not least Kevin Love is the question of the team this year. Will Love be utilized properly in the playoffs? Coach Lue has gave Love more opportunities to score inside and outside the paint. Love must improve on his defense and play more aggressively on both sides of the ball. If Love can score at least 20 points a game in the playoffs, that would be tremendous asset to the team to win a championship for Cleveland.

Remember it's one key to improve your chances of winning a championship. That is HEALTH!, if the wrong players are injured it can cost you your shot. The great thing this year about the Cavs is we are deep on the bench finally to play big or small with any team. The question is can we play our cards that we are dealt this time in the playoffs?
