10 Biggest Surprises of the New NBA Season

#2 The Cavaliers' defense

The Cavs' defense has been awful and LeBron James has been frustrated the whole season

The Cleveland Cavaliers have the WORST defense in the League. A defense worse than the Phoenix Suns for Gods' sake. THE PHOENIX SUNS. Having the oldest squad in the league has robbed them of athleticism. They are unable to cope with rotations during Defensive Possessions switching not more than once or twice and the results are there for all to see.

Everyone saying Cavs' will be fine during the post-season is wrong. They won't win anything with that level of play. None of LeBron James' teams have played this bad in any season. It's the worst start a LeBron James' team has ever had. The egos in the locker room haven't helped either. J.R. Smith being upset at losing his starting spot won't do any favors to any team building exercises. And those saying that Isaiah Thomas is the answer to their struggles, well he won't be doing any help to their defensive schemes. He'll probably be the worst defender in their team.

So, the Cavs have to buck up otherwise they'll see their season fade into obscurity.
