The Cleveland Cavaliers' 2024 playoff run ended with a 4-1 loss to the Boston Celtics, but the real drama is just beginning. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's future hangs in the balance as team management weighs whether to rebuild or regroup. 🧐
Since taking over in 2020, Bickerstaff has steered the team to three consecutive winning seasons and back-to-back playoff appearances – a rare feat post-LeBron James. The Cavs' thrilling 4-3 first-round victory over the Orlando Magic this year marked their first playoff series win without James since 1993. 🏆
But with a 170-159 overall record under Bickerstaff, critics wonder if the team has hit its ceiling. ESPN reports the organization will "take its time" deciding his fate, leaving fans split: Is this the end of an era or a stepping stone to greater success? 🔄
