Fan Blog: Mid-Season Review

With the NBA's All-Star weekend wrapped up it is official that the second half of the season is underway. The first half of the year presented both NBA fans and Cavs fans with a lot to think and talk about. This season has seen many interesting things like the emergence of Jeremy Lin, the Heat's Big Three and the Thunder's dominance in their conferences, as well as the Lakers adapting to life under new head coach Mike Brown. But even with all of these big name teams having so much success, Cleveland has had an interesting and eventful first half as well.

The first half of the season has seen the Cavaliers finish with a 13-19 record which lands them in 9th place in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs have definitely seen their fair share of up's and down's so far but I think so far Cleveland fans have to feel pretty positive about the results of this team. The Cavs have had some huge wins against teams like New York, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles Clippers, and Indiana. They have also received setbacks from bad teams such as New Orleans, New Jersey, and twice to Toronto. So far the Cavs have exceeded expectations but there is still a long way to go. It would be great to finish the season with a lottery pick but I think if Cleveland can finish with 25 wins it would be a success. Even with the shortened 66 game schedule this season, the Cavs are still on pace to have more wins then their 19 from last year. Hopefully the young players they've acquired over the last few years can continue to grow and lead the Cavs to the playoffs soon!
