People continue to talk about all the injuries to the Cavs this year. "If they were only healthy, then …" 

The problem is that 3 of the top four paid players on the Cavs roster have had injury problems. 

Love has only been able to play in 443 out of a possible 594 games in his career, or around 75% of the games. 

Irving has only been able to play in 269 out of 346 games, or about 78% of games. 

Varajoe has only played in 560 out of 902 games, or about 62%. 

I don’t know that we can say this is a case of bad luck for the Cavs. The Cavs have taken a risk on several players who have a history of fragility.

Lebron has proven to be one of the most durable players in the NBA, but his mid-season struggles with his back might continue to be an issue. 

I would have taken the same risk on these studs, but before we pencil in the Cavs as championship contenders for several years, we maybe should consider the possibility that the big three will never put a championship run together. There is a realistic possibility where the "Curse of Cleveland" lives on as injuries continue to plague their stars.

 Sure.

Anything can happen.

Then it would be the Curse of Andrew Wiggins or whatever.

LeBron has a TON of mileage and this Warriors squad looks like a possible dynasty.

Even if the Cavs don’t come back to win the title this year, I still can see them at least getting back to the Finals.  Then if their guys resign then I can see them doing some major damage with a healthy/healthier Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.  But, as I said before, the Warriors aren’t going anywhere, either.

I am almost already looking forward to a Warriors-Cavs rematch in next year’s Finals.
