So this is the story everybody knows- The Cavs got a hold of LeBron James, hometown hero, traded away No.1 pick Andrew Wiggins to Minnesota for All-Star Kevin Love. This was going to be amazing with a big three consisting of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and LeBron (plus Anderson Varejao, kinda...). Everybody made Cleveland the pick to win the East and head to the finals. But it didn't work out, David Blatt, the new European coach, had to face incredible difficulty in trying to become the coach of a team with LeBron James, and Kyrie in it. But he cannot communicate with the All-Stars because of their mindset which is "I'm the best on the team, coach hasn't got nothing on me, I'M the leader..". Coach Blatt is still a rookie coach from Europe and is far too scared to do anything. Blatt also started over hustling the players, because he coached in Europe and had absolute control over anything, he is not used to this. Anderson Varejao also tore his Achilles and he is out for the season, taking away a very strong, emotional, leader-player. Those are some of the problems they had early on in the season. But yesterday something incredible happened, the Detroit Pistons, yes, the DETROIT 'TANK-A-LOT' PISTONS beat the Cavs. Beat the Cavs by 23 points that is. Beaten by 23 in their own arena, in front of all the people who suffered when a star player mentioned he was going to South Beach, they lost by 23. Th Cavs split their last 10 games 5-5 and keep going farther behind my Chicago Bulls in the East standings. Hopefully they will find a way to win and to get the team back together, but as of now, they are definitely not an elite team.
