| IF Kyrie Irving stays healthy, the Cavs will make the playoffs (Photo from: USA Today) |
It has been 3 years since LeBron James left Cleveland to join Miami. In his time in South Florida, LBJ has two MVPs and two rings while the Cavaliers have missed the playoffs 3 straight years and amassed a record of 64 wins to 166 losses. In the seven years that James played for the Cavs, they only had 188 losses and made the playoffs 5 straight years. Will 2013-14 be the year that the Cavs make it back to the postseason? I believe YES.
Reaching the playoffs this coming season is a very viable goal for Cleveland. They have upgraded their roster by drafting Anthony Bennett and signing free agents like Jarrett Jack, Earl Clark and Andrew Bynum. Their best player, Kyrie Irving is expected to be fully healthy while Dion Waiters and Anderson Varejao are also back from the injured list. Let's be clear. The Cavs will make the playoffs IF and only IF Kyrie Irving stays healthy and plays most of their games (95% or more).
