The Cleveland Cavaliers have reasons to worry ahead of the playoffs

A yes but no, a want and can't, an almost permanent state. Cleveland Cavaliers navigates dangerous waters as it approaches the big stage. The playoffs are near, yet the Ohio team fails to display the consistency expected of a championship contender.

The excitement over signing James Harden overshadowed the feeling that the team had not improved as much as hoped by this point. Donovan Mitchell has lost prominence and confidence, ball movement thanks to the Beard has not notably boosted Allen and Mobley's performances, the bench continues to have good and completely disappearing games alternately, and overall, confidence in the project is waning.

Any real hope of climbing positions in the Eastern Conference standings has vanished, being three games away from a much more solid Knicks team. This leads them to face a highly demanding first round, with the Atlanta Hawks emerging as their most probable opponents in excellent form. These Cleveland Cavaliers need all puzzle pieces to fit together right now to arrive at the playoffs with certainty.
