3. Cleveland Cavaliers (34-22)

Does the Cavaliers overhaul on trade deadline make them the favorites for the top of the Eastern Conference? It may still be up to LeBron’s consistency and a K-Love injury, nothing new at the end of the day for the Cavs.

LeBron James is still a thing.

Also, the trade frenzy that we’ve all heard about  has already impacted the personality of the Cavs, they just seem happy now.

Funny enough, all I can think about is…

Poor Channing Frye.

everyone take note: don’t go 0-6 in an NBA game or you won’t win a championship and you may join the Big Baller Brand in LA.

All jokes aside.

When Kevin Love gets back, I love this teams newfound personality and youth.
