The Cleveland Cavaliers have not gotten off to the start fans had hoped for.
They have played four games so far this year and have lost three of them.
Last season, the Cavaliers were one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
They finished as the fourth seed in the conference but lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Cleveland brings back most of the same roster from last year and hopes for another strong regular season.
One player who continues to play at a high level is guard Donovan Mitchell.
He is averaging 32.0 points per game to go along with 3.3 steals.
Mitchell is not panicking after the Cavs’ slow start.
According to NBACentral, Mitchell said: “We got to find a way to win enough games to get to the playoffs, win in the playoffs, and get to a championship.”

That comment is pretty straightforward from Mitchell, who has not yet had the postseason success he had hoped for in his career.
Playing in the Eastern Conference gives him the best chance to reach the NBA Finals.
But, it does not seem like the Cavs have enough to make it that far.
The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks have substantially better rosters than the Cavs.
Also, they have more playoff experience.
It would take the Cavaliers making a major trade to put them into the upper echelon of the East.
But, for now, all they can focus on is doing what Mitchell said.
Winning enough games to get into the playoffs.
