The Cleveland Cavaliers have not had an unblemished season and they are almost certainly not going to be a top-two seed. That’s quite okay, though, because they know what it takes to get out of the East and should be the favorites to represent the conference again this year.
As many – if not all – know, when you have LeBron, you’re almost guaranteed to get out of the East. That’s still the case, at least to me. People have overlooked the “King James Effect” before.
What both the Raptors and Celtics have done to this point this season has been nothing short of remarkable and both of their coaching staffs and front offices should be recognized for their excellence.
