The Cleveland Cavaliers might have the best record in the Eastern Conference, but there are many issues keeping them from being a threat to the top two Western Conference teams. Players still aren’t on the same page and that needs to change if the team wants to win a championship. The team has the players, so now it’s just a matter of mentally coming together as one unit. Here are five questions the Cavaliers must answer in the 2015-16 stretch run if they want to reach their goals.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are the “Big Three” of the team, but they need other players to step up. Tristan Thompson has to be a force, Iman Shumpert has to shut down opponents and Matthew Dellavedova has to be an irritant.
4. Is Tyronn Lue Really Coaching?

Tyronn Lue was hired to bring accountability to James, but that doesn’t appear to be happening. Lue needs to get James to play on the same page with everybody else. The coach also has to get Love in better positions to succeed so that there are no excuses.
3. Is Kyrie Irving 100 Percent Healthy?

Irving has missed time this season because of injuries at the end of last season. He is still playing fairly well, but his three-point shooting has notably dropped from last season’s production. The team has to wonder if Irving needs more rest.
2. Is Kevin Love Mentally Prepared For The Stretch Run Entering The Playoffs?

Love appears to be fully healthy, but mentally he doesn’t seem to be focused on the court. This season was supposed to be his year of resurgence, but he hasn’t kept up his play from earlier in the campaign. Love still has a lot to prove to the doubters.
1. Is LeBron James Fully Committed?

James has been getting his usual career numbers, but he hasn’t been acting like a leader on and off the court. If James is committed to winning, it may be time for him to stop talking so much on social media and be more aggressive on the court.
