Cavs have been improving heavily

The Cavs have lulls during the regular season that lead them to underachieve. But over the past three seasons, they've always turned it up and played their best basketball in the postseason.
They have the right formula for successful playoff basketball:
1) A great individual player in LeBron James who can create offense when nothing's there.
2) A great rebounding team. They were first in the league in overall rebounding, and second in offensive rebounding.
In their six Eastern Conference playoff series of the LeBron Era, the Cavs have outrebounded their opponent each time.
3) A great defensive team. They weren't great on that end during the regular season, which is one reason they only won 45 games
