At 10-2, it’s difficult not to be impressed by what the Cleveland Cavaliers have managed to do through the first few weeks of the NBA season. Even with giving LeBron James the occasional night off, the Cavs have still been able to display their dominance.

At the same time, the fact that they’re already giving LeBron a night off shows how exactly Cleveland plans on tackling the long season.

Still, I have it hard to believe that any team will have enough firepower – and depth – to beat out the Cavs for the No. 1 seed in the East.
