Rating history

Cleveland Cavaliersleague 10th–90th percentile

End-of-season rating. 1500 is the league mean by construction — Elo is zero-sum, so the average team is always 1500 and a rising line means rising relative to everyone else, not in absolute terms. Gaps are seasons the franchise did not play under this name.
