Cavs better team overall but the Knicks will make them earn it. Should be a good one

The Knicks have been an awesome story this year but I have more faith in the Cavs and their top guys. I think the Cavs have flaws that can be exposed but I'm not sure the Knicks have the personnel to do that. Cavs in 6 in a good series is my expectation.

Now the playoffs are here and teams have time to plan, any competent team should be able to absolutely neuter Julius Randle, we’ll see.

Cavs should be able to out talent the Knicks, even though JB will make the series more difficult than it needs to be.

Don't think this one will live up the hype or even be particularly close. Cavs are much more talented across the board and will take it in an easy 5 or 6 tops.

I think this is the toughest series for the Eastern Conference. I think the guards for both teams will cook, so it might come down to the Mobley/Randle matchup.

Cavs in 7!

Mitchell almost went to New York right? Should be a good back story for this series... Voted for Cavs in 5.

Go Knicks! Go Josh! I think many POrtland fans will be rooting for the Knicks over in the east because of Josh this year.
