Sheesh the bandwagon here is obviously missing some side rails. Too spoiled after a season of success or just being fickle for fun? Sure not the greatest start but:
High turnover due to pandemic
Going to be turnover anyways because of the salary cap, which is barely a living wage for most and even though the team atmosphere was great apparently year 1, an ask for a small bump in wages was enough for the club to tell the player to look elsewhere and the player would be very sensitive to a small raise
Players and coaches trying to find their footing and role, with competitive games for first time in a while, given the turnover.
Neutral ground and bubble.
Sure, that's the same for all teams coming out of the pandemic.Cavs don't have the advantage of the time to create the atmosphere that Tommy created for them all together cohesively for season 1.
Talent I think is there, but maybe not the depth (ie a Jordan Brown for example, or Hamilton) there was, but plenty of time and games to get the ship back in shape.
