Tonight’s loss to the Toronto Raptors already has fans in Cleveland and pundits on TV worried about the Cavaliers. As Avery Johnson said on ESPN during halftime of the Nuggets/Jazz game, “It’s only two games.” There is absolutely nothing to worry about in Cleveland.

While the rest of the power clubs started locking in their playoff spots a few weeks ago, the Fire have struggled.
