But I gotta say NO to title contender and a shoe in for title.
Remember Dallas couple years ago, they were king in season but lost in first round.
Winning 60 is a little too tough, but I say 55+ for sure.
And don't get me wrong, I think Cleveland is an elite team. But I see it as a Jazz team in the East.
Unlike a Dallas, we play solid defense, that (again, unlike Dallas) tends to get even better in the playoffs... We have a solid rebounding team (and hopefully will get one more big to attack that area more)
And unlike Dallas and Utah, we have the best player in the NBA that can carry this team virtually on his own...
Nobody in the east is going to knock a healthy Cavaliers team out of the playoffs except Boston... I can see teams like Detroit and Orlando have some success against us in the regular season, but neither team would take this Cavaliers team in a 7 game series....
