Cleveland Cavaliers
PREDICTED FINISH: 3rd 60-22
ACTUAL FINISH : 5th 51-31
What I got right: I saw the team having some struggles this year with the roster moving away from defensive standout Timofey Mozgov. I did see the previous season as a magical blending at the perfect timing, and it happened again this year (until they ran into the Golden State Warriors). I did line shooting accuracy up as a key statitic. While the Cavaliers boasted a fifth best 47 percent shooting, the team allowed opponents to score on 45.8 percent of their shots, good for only 16th in the league.
What I got wrong: I mixed it up. I expected the team to coast in the season and falter in the playoffs. Until the championship series, the team appeared unbeatable. But this was a very beatable team in the season, and they ended behind the Boston Celtics.
