Each NBA Franchise's Best Regular Season Performance Since 2000
Cleveland Cavaliers
To the credit of LeBron, the Cavaliers have had many great regular seasons over the years. Before his departure in 2010, James carried them to a 66-16 record and a nERD of 81.6.
He averaged 28.4 points per game and was the reason for the Cavs' fourth most-efficient offense. Unfortunately, there wasn't much around James, so the Cavaliers were no match for the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals.
