The Cavaliers and turmoil
2010-08-16An ESPN.com survey that the entire basketball section of the website, including the THN, named the Cavaliers one of the three teams most likely to face “turmoil” this offseason. The Fearless Leader asked me to write about what kind of turmoil Cavs fans should expect from the team this year, and I obliged. Go forth and enjoy.
Nice write up. I don’t see much turmoil from the players on this team. I don’t know enough about the new coach to predict whether he will be a source of turmoil. It is a little surprising the panel picked the Cavs. It seems more likely that a team with high expectations like Miami and media attention would be a better turmoil candidate, especially if they have trouble living up to expectations.
August might be the crappiest month of the year. Everyone is sleepy and tired. It’s to damn hot.

I think with a new coaching staff, new style that the Cavs will surprise a little bit…but again Im not expecting anything major…i predicted this team… Read more »
No wonder I haven’t been by in weeks (besides August malaise) — can’t get my F’ing comment through.
Nice write-up John.
I agree 100%. As long as fans and media expect the Cavaliers to be only a so-so team that most likely misses the playoffs (or nets a 7-8 seed at best), then I don’t see where any turmoil would come into play.
