Why are the Cleveland Cavaliers underachieving this season?

Answer 1

I think it's the coach. The Cavs have alot of players that have good open court games but he insists on milking the shot clock.

Answer 2

LeBron has an injured toe, and it will affect his play all season long. That's the main thing. The Cavs are underachieving, but they are young and good so look out in the second half of the season. They are my fav team in the east.

Answer 3

cavs lack a point guard and LeBron is injured and he didn't have a break all year playing in the offseason

the cavs could trade Z, D Jones, and Hughes to get LeBron a team

his second most consistent guy has been drew gooden

should make a run at Gasol

Answer 4

Simple, Lebron has no help. Kobe has Lamar, McGrady has Yao, and Lebron has a guy who shoots 40 percent at best and who always seems to be injured. Big Z is also getting old.

Answer 5

cleveland is afraid to take risks. y didnt they get ai? pau gasol? kevin garnett? if they want to win they need someone capable of backing up lebron. now, for instance, he claims his toe hurts. he wouldnt even mention that if he had better players around him cuz he wouldnt have as much pressure to play hard. again look at the move the nuggets made. they didnt have carmelo for 15 games so they went and got iverson. so now carmelo comes back and they now have both. one heck of a combo and the cavs need somethin like that

Answer 6

I don't think they are underachiving that much unless you expect them to play like the Suns. If the played like the Suns then they would be owning the East.

Answer 7

Overrated?

Answer 8

Hmmm, don't know
