The Cleveland Cavaliers won’t make the Eastern Conference Finals
Yes, we all know that the Cavaliers have gotten off to quite a mediocre start to this NBA season — with LeBron James. It was never realistic to expect the new-look Cavs to come out winning 20 straight games. No matter how much we expect of them this season, even that was unfair.
Still, I do expect them to win their fair share of games this season — somewhere around 55-60 games. I also expect to see them in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Don’t bet against that quite yet.
