Yup...LeBron will. It's scary to think about it, but I actually think his best is yet to come this year.

I'm glad that the Cavs have some weaker opponents coming up. That will make it easier to break in these new guys.

50 wins is definitely doable. I think LeBron realizes it, and will get it done.

I dont see why. You guys have four new players that figure to play major roles for your teams success. You gotta figure it'll take SOME adjusting, even if brons greatness can mask some of it.

I don't see this Paul stuff. Sure, on the court, he is huge for his team. But LeBron is putting up all-time historic numbers and Kobe's one of the best players in NBA history never to have won an MVP. Those are pretty imposing roadblocks between Paul and the MVP trophy. This third year PG looking for his first playoff appearance is up against NBA history and... NBA history to win the award.

Again, wait until the playoffs. If I were a Magic fan, I wouldnt want to face the Cavs (that is, unless you enjoy getting knocked out of the playoffs).

I think they will win 50-54 games. Although, I can see them being locked into a spot, and giving up some games late in the season... which might give them a look at 46-49 wins or so.
