Are the Cavaliers a championship team again?

If you are a Cleveland Cavalier fan, you might be wondering, are the Cavs a championship team like they were last year? The Cleveland Cavaliers are 32-12. That is first in the Eastern Conference, and fourth overall. Last year, they went to the NBA Finals but sadly lost to the Golden State Warriors in a 4-2 series. Arguably, the Cavs could have won if point guard Kyrie Irving did not get injured in game one. But Steph Curry and Draymond Green pretty much dominated the Finals. Lebron James did put in a great effort, but it frustrates me when James is doing all he can and his teammates cannot help him out. In the Finals, from game two and on, it was Lebron James against the whole Warrior team. James did put up great numbers, but when you only have one guy contributing to the team, your not going to win games. I am going to be talking about the weapons that the Cleveland Cavaliers have that could take them to the finals.

Ball Handlers
The Cavs have a couple of good ball handlers. They have Kyrie Irving, arguably, the best ball handler in the NBA next to Stephen Curry. J.R Smith and Iman Shumpert are also some other guys on the Cavs who can handle the ball well. They will need good ball handlers when they play good defensive teams like Golden State and the Chicago Bulls.

Defenders 
Cleveland has a bunch of good and solid defenders. I'm starting off with Lebron James. He is a good lock down defender. He can cover some point guards like Stephen Curry and Derrick Rose. He averages 1.3 steals per game. Next up, Iman Shumpert. Shumpert is a very versatile player. He can shoot the ball efficiently, and he can also defend some elite point guards. He averages a steal a game. Lastly, Matthew Dellavedova. Stats don't show Dellavedova's defensive skill but he did a good job on Stephen Curry in the NBA Finals and he is a player who can come in for Kyrie Irving and do a solid job defensively.

Play Makers
To get to the finals again, the Cavs need play makers and that is something that they have a lot of. Kyrie Irving can make plays and create off of the dribble. He averages 15.4 points per game but his field goal % has gone down. J.R. Smith is another one. He can be a very good shooter. He can go on streaks with his three point shots. He averages 12.5 points per game.
