As someone who watches a lot of Cavs games, their defense is most definitely not awful - they just happen to match-up horribly with Golden State. Really, really horribly. I mean, with Green at the 4, very few teams matchup well with the Warriors, but with Love and Mozgov - two slow-footed guys who struggle against the speed and shooting ability the Warriors have on p'n'rs - the Cavs are particularly susceptible.
Cavs are a bad offensive team though, who get by on the fact that they have LeBron, Kyrie (once healthy and in shape), the occasional big game from Love, and a rotation of guys who are capable of putting points up in spurts.
I kinda hope the Cavs don't do anything drastic as far as trading away guys to get pieces they hope will matchup well with the Warriors specifically. Warriors are the best and deepest team in the league, and nobody the Cavs trade or trade for is probably going to change that. Hope that the Spurs or Thunder or someone beats them and just keep your guys together and hopefully healthy.
