Cleveland Cavaliers From the Media's Perspective.

A month in the NBA season has been completed, and The Cleveland Cavaliers have not lived up to the standards placed by the fans and media. Over the summer, The Cavaliers recruited superstars Kevin Love and Lebron James to team up with elite point guard Kyrie Irving  to form a big three. Journalists, analysts, and other people in the media all had big expectations for The Cavaliers to be the top team in the Eastern Conference. One would think they'd be on top of the league or at least #1 in their division. Surprisingly, The Cleveland Cavaliers are #6 in the Eastern Conference! Of course this isn't the worst spot to be in considering they'd be in the playoffs if it started today. The fact of the matter is that they were #1 in the power rankings and now there at the bottom of the NBA teams with a winning record. What is most interesting to me is how the media is responding to the Cavaliers shortcoming. Due to the fact that the Cavaliers were projected to do so great, they are getting so much ESPN talk because they aren't doing so great. Its funny how the media loves proving itself wrong to produce news. No one ever thought about all the other factors that could effect the team. Sure they have three top tier superstars, but chemistry doesn't just come out of thin air. All three stars can score; but where was the defense going to come from besides Lebron James? The media focused on hyping the fans up that they forgot to point out the cons of team. Sports journalists all had a ball when the Heat first assembled together with Lebron James and lost in the finals to the Mavericks. It was such a shock to the world because everyone let the media make The Heat look godlike. As soon as they were exposed by the offense of the Mavericks it made big news. I'm not sure if writers and broadcasters do these things on purpose knowing that the outcome could produce controversy or chaos; or are they fooled to think certain things as fans are. Either way you look at it, there is a long season ahead of us.
