1. Cleveland Cavaliers (8-0)

The Cleveland Cavaliers is the only undefeated team remaining in the NBA playoffs. Get this: by the time the Eastern Conference Finals will have been played, the Cavs will have only played eight games in 31 days. That’s insane.

Considering that Cleveland has the most explosive offense in the NBA right now, shooting almost 50 percent from three-point range through eight games, and that they’re going to be the most rested team in the NBA by the time the NBA Finals begins, it’s not insane to view them as a viable threat to knock off the defending NBA Champions or the San Antonio Spurs.
