Prime time sill a problem

“Saturday Night Live” in its early, halcyon days had the Not Ready for PrimeTime Players.

To this point of what’s been a rollercoaster season for the Cavaliers, they’ve been the NBA’s Not Ready for National TV Players.

With a 110-94 thumping at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs on Feb. 25 at Quicken Loans Arena, the Cavs saw their record in nationally televised games sink to 3-10.

For whatever reason, the Cavs this season have rendered some of their worst efforts with the eyes of the nation upon them. Two of the most embarrassing nationally televised losses came at The Q, too. They got their doors blown off on Jan. 20 by Oklahoma City, 148-124. On Feb. 4, they hit rock bottom with a 120-88 loss to Houston. Both of those games were on ABC.

Four days after the Houston beatdown, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert gave general manager Koby Altman the green light to massively re-make the roster with a series of blockbuster trade-deadline moves.

Sent packing were Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Channing Frye and Iman Shumpert.

Brought onboard were George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr.

The results have been great to mostly good with the re-made roster, at least until the Spurs came to town and, again on ABC, the Cavs wilted in the second half.

A team with four-time Most Valuable Player LeBron James as its centerpiece, that has played boatloads of big games and won the 2016 NBA title while making three straight runs to the NBA Finals ought not be so prone to poor showings on national TV.

The bad news is, of the Cavs’ 23 remaining regular-season games, seven will be nationally televised.

None, however, is on ABC.

Here are other takeaways from the loss to San Antonio:
