Lue has done a really good job with them or Lebron is just a damn good coach and maybe a much better GM than we thought.

Kevin Love is really spreading the floor well for them and if they win this year, big if ... then the Love trade for wiggins looks much better. Wiggins would not really be helping (enough) here.

They are playing very well right now but lets not forget that the Pistons and Hawks aren't all that great of teams and i could pick 4/5 western teams that could easily beat both the Pistons and Hawks. I'm not gonna take everything away from Clev because they're clearly playing together right now and i think they'll be giving the GSW's a good run in the championship 7 game series. It should be a fun series to watch as long as both Love and Kyrie can stay healthy.

Lets not forget, Lebron carried them to a 2-1 lead against the GSW having lost the first game in Overtime. A game they had in their pocket.
Cav's go in finals healthy against whom ever that might be a bit banged up from the west, it could be Cav's time!
Deal with JR and Shump with rings as role players. Reality was they were prime time players here.

Is it me or does the East suck right now? Miami without Bosh, Whiteside is a completely different team.

Boston, Toronto, Atlanta, Charlotte, Detroit, Indiana are nice but nothing to write home about; they would never sniff a playoffs matchup against a healthy LAC, SAS, OKC, GSW.

Cavs are peerless in the East really.

Before the playoffs. Cavs were said to have like an 80% chance to reach the finals by odds makers. While GSW and Spurs had 60 or less. Due to the level of comp.

Cavs have 2 elite penetrators with Lebron and Irving who can also shoot. And they have quality shooters around them. They don't hit the 3s at the rate they do if no for the fear of the most physically imposing penetrator in the game. To go with one of the leagues best ball handlers.

JR and Shump aren't prime time players they play with prime time players. Coat tailing their way. When adversity comes their way the fold like a cheap tent.

I agree. But don't forget raptors. They can play well if Lowry and demar are on their game

Unfortunately w/o Jonas they too are a different team

I don't watch enough Toronto games but these guys seem to show up like 1 in 4 games? Or just the regular season? LOL

agreed; they need some form of horse-whisperer
