Cavaliers counting on experienced Max Strus in playoffs

Max Strus is like a jungle guide leading a group on a safari to some ancient temple that is not on any map. In this case, the people Strus is leading are his Cavaliers teammates as they embark on a playoff journey that begins April 20 in a game with the Orlando Magic at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Strus is leading the journey because last year he played on the Miami Heat team that finished eighth in the East and, against all odds, advanced all the way to the NBA Finals before finally falling to the Denver Nuggets. Strus and the Cavaliers on April 17 began their practice for the Magic after getting April 15 off and April 16 as a day for film study.
