2. Healthy Big Three

Charlotte Hornets v Cleveland Cavaliers

Following a 19-20 start to the regular season, the Cavaliers finished strong, as they went 34-9 over the last three months of the season.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see the “Big Three” for the team’s postseason run as Love suffered a dislocated shoulder injury in the first round of the playoffs. He would end up missing the remainder of the postseason.

Further complicating matters was the absence of Kyrie Irving for the final five games of the NBA Finals due to a knee injury.

With all three players healthy entering the 2015-16 campaign, we’ll finally see the “Big Three” at full strength for an entire season.
