The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming into a huge season this year.

There is a ton of uncertainty surrounding the team. It is unclear how bright the future is for the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the LeBron James “decision part 2” looming over Cleveland’s head, it could be do-or-die time for this team. Let’s just hope this season is enough to convince the King to stay home.

The Cavs have plenty of room to improve from last season. Despite making it to the NBA Finals, they were quickly finished off by Golden State in 5 games. The series wasn’t very competitive, and it is likely that we will see these two teams match up again. They were, however, just one Kyle Korver three away from entering Game 5 tied at two games a piece.

It is very important that the Cavs do not have a repeat of last season. This team is already on the edge of falling apart. If they get annihilated again in the Finals, then there isn’t any reason this team would stick together. LeBron would likely travel to another team, and the Cavs would officially be back to square one. No one wants to be at square one.

If the Cavs want to keep this team together, then these 5 keys are going to be crucial to their success.
