\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a decision once the playoffs began to take a little break from this column. I know what you\u2019re thinking: Who writes on basketball for an entire regular season and then takes a break when the playoffs start? Well \u2026 I do. It wasn\u2019t a dramatic decision. I just wanted to step back, observe, and avoid\u2014as strange as it may sound\u2014the pitfalls of the playoffs. By \u201cpitfalls\u201d I mean the playoffs\u2019 compulsion to repeat themselves and the accompanying impulse of the writer to search for particular significance in these repetitions. In other words, you\u2019ve seen the Raptors\u2013Cavs Eastern Conference Final before, countless times. The favorite wins the first two home games with relative ease; the underdog returns home to a raucous crowd and wins the next two games to even the series, stirring thoughts that the contest is evenly matched; and then, almost as if on cue, the underdog capitulates and vanishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We yearn when watching the playoffs to see the exception to the rule\u2013last year\u2019s Spurs-Clippers series comes to mind, and Michael Jordan\u2019s performances\u2013but if you watch basketball regularly, you\u2019ve seen most of these playoff series in one form or another year after year. The regular season, with its seemingly endless unraveling, is like being in a house with many doors, all of which lead to other houses with many other doors. But the playoffs are like a single hallway with only one door at the end. The playoffs are teleological. The meaning they generate is on one hand quite simple: Which is the better team? On the other hand, it\u2019s quite abstract: What do we do with the losing team?<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Cavaliers are no doubt in a strange position. They are down 2-0 in these finals. Teams have been down 2-0 and come back to win the championship, and there\u2019s no crime in losing two games on the road to a defending champion that has been practically untouchable on its home court. The free days between game 2\u00a0in Oakland and game 3\u00a0in Cleveland are clich\u00e9 ready: the Warriors did their job winning at home, now it\u2019s the Cavs turn to do the same; the Cavs haven\u2019t yet fired on all cylinders, but when they do\u2026; the finals don\u2019t really begin until the home team loses a game. But like that moment in Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> when you realize that they\u2019re actually doing the Death Star thing all over again without the slightest hint of irony, we know how these finals will end. Cleveland is an octave below Golden State, and there\u2019s nothing they can do about it but take part in their own death march. Maybe they\u2019ll win game 3. Maybe they\u2019ll win game 4. Maybe they\u2019ll win games 3 and 4. In other words, maybe they\u2019ll be the Raptors. Whatever they are and will be, this series is over. To paraphrase Shakespeare, \u201cIf this be error and upon me proved\u2009\/\u2009I never write nor no one ever hooped.\u201d<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

The Cavs have the best player of his generation. They have turned the Eastern Conference into mincemeat. They are on the verge of becoming little more than a footnote. How did we get here?<\/p>\n

Since LeBron James\u2019s return to Cleveland, the Cavs have been far and away the class of the Eastern Conference. They\u2019ve less suffered from their competitors than they did from having had to waste time with them. Playing in the finals has been another story. I\u2019ve written here before about why the Cavs are in the position that they\u2019re now in<\/a>. Theirs is a roster designed to compete against the opposition they could imagine \u2026 this Warriors vintage was beyond their imagination. Those decisions and limits of the imagination are part of the past now, and there\u2019s little to blame the Cavs for here: they\u2019ve encountered in the Warriors a historically great team that is also historically unique. In fact, it\u2019s history that\u2019s delivering a haymaker to these Cavs, one of those slow-motion left crosses that turns the muscles in the face into unrecognizable flapping flesh, the fist lingering on the pain it\u2019s causing. We\u2019re watching a team transform\u2014transmogrify, really\u2014uncomfortably, before our eyes, from basketball juggernaut arrivistes to glorified jobbers, a small speed bump on the Warriors\u2019 road to glory. As spring heads into summer, the Cavs are becoming more like the New Jersey Nets of the early 2000s\u2014the NBA\u2019s version of Monty Python\u2019s Black Knight\u2014than the champion Celtic and Heat teams they sought to emulate with their three ill-fitting star players. It wasn\u2019t supposed to be this way for them. Perhaps these first two defeats were nothing but a scratch. But the Cavs\u2019 immediate future involves trying to beat an all-time great opponent on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor in four out of the next five games. And the Cavs were constructed to best the wrong opponent: the past. There\u2019s no defeating that.<\/p>\n
