Cleveland Cavaliers Punch Their Ticket To The 2023 NBA Playoffs

Any success that the Cleveland Cavaliers have had over the past two decades has been synonymous with LeBron James, but in 2022/23, the team have finally broken away and made the playoffs for the first time since his final season with the team in 2018.

This comes as no surprise to anyone, as the team is stacked with young talent like Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, and if they can keep building over the coming weeks, they'll be an incredibly tough out in the playoffs.

While the team haven't yet locked up the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, the team is full of talent and likely won't slip beyond the sixth seed if they move back at all, so right now, they could be as dangerous as they ever were with LeBron in town.
