The post LeBron trauma hit the Cavs real hard. After years of carrying sub standard Cavalier teams to deep playoff runs, King James fled for South Beach and the Cavs went South soon. Years of not surrounding James with adequate help meant that the Cavs were an absolute train wreck when he left.

The Cavs actually had an okayish start at 7-9, but then the roof fell in. The then longest losing run in NBA history began with an 11 point loss to Utah. They had a chance to end the streak at 2 but lost to the TWolves and never got close after that. The lowlight of this incredible streak was a 55 point loss(!) at the hands of the Lakers. They broke their own record by losing their 25th in a row to Dallas, but thankfully for Cavs fans, the streak would end soon. A thrilling 126-119 OT win over the Clippers helped avoid the longest losing streak in US Professional Sports History.

The season ended in misery with a 19-63 record, but hey at least you were able to draft Kyrie Irving thanks to it. Too bad he's gone now though eh.
