5 on 5: Cleveland Cavaliers, "The Season of Huh?"

[jonathanlambert33]

1. In a word, whats your attitude regarding the Cavs now that this seasons over?
David Wood: Ambiguous. Some nights the ball is flying around, Dion and Kyrie are trying to include each other, and players are running around without the ball. Other nights, there are four guys watching Kyrie or Dion, and Matty D runs more than the whole team combined in just a few plays. Who are the Cavs?

Nate Smith: Disappointed. There were so many missed opportunities this year: from the coaching search to the draft to free agency to the way the Cavs just didnt even compete in at least a dozen games. In an alternate universe, Brad Stevens is coaching Paul Millsap, Shaun Livingston, Victor Oladipo, Omri Casspi, and the Cavs core in a pending first round upset of the Heat.

Tom Pestak: Passive. The season was a lesson in humility. More or less every prognostication I made turned out to be completely wrong. (With the exception that Earl Clark was indeed bad). Somewhere, around late February (probably after the not-enough-eligible-players Lakers game), I was emotionally exhausted and just tried to enjoy the twists and turns however ugly they may have been. It became therapeutic to expect the unexpected. #seasonofHuh (h/t Ben Cox)

Robert Attenweiler: Is beaten into submission an attitude? This team has just been so little fun to watch and cover and think about. Its the exact opposite of what I thought this season was going to bring. My worst case had the team ending with a record similar to this, but with a strong finish and a clear trajectory going forward. They gave us none of that and until I see that the players they field next year are different, the Cavs are still that car stuck spinning its wheels in a muddy ditch.

Kevin Hetrick: Curious. Talk is already out about a big shake-up this summer. It is impossible to know what that could mean, the possibilities are numerous. Fire Coach Brown. Trade Dion, Zeller, Andy and draft picks for another star. Trade Kyrie for a package of talent. Offer Kyrie the supermax contract. Offer Tristan the supermax, in an effort to woo his and Lebrons agent and bring Lebron back. Everything is in play. I am in watch and react mode.
