How does it feel?

[Heffernan]

Really guys, how does it feel? A team that has missed the playoffs year after year after Lebron leaving is now the favorite to win the East and maybe even the championship. Also, getting Lebron back, Kevin Love, and who knows what's next. How does it feel?

Good, thanks for asking

Too good to be true... I am waiting for the negative thing to happen still.

Honestly it hasn't sunk in yet, I think it will take until that first regular season game, the fanfair, the media coverage, and the first team hearing that " From St. Vincent St. Mary's Highschool in Akron Ohio, number 23, LEBBBBRRRRROONNNNNNN JAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEEESSSs!"

And of course quickly followed by Kevin Love lol.

Never get your hopes up as a Cavs fan......

Im sure they are happy , but also comes the pressure of choking and being the laughing stock of the NBA

The pressure of choking isn't on the fans. We're going to enjoy being competitive again. Enjoy the playoffs again. Enjoy watching Lebron do amazing things again. Enjoy watching Love for the first time. Enjoy watching Miller, Jones and hopefully Marion and Allen and whoever else for the first time.
The pressure is on Lebron and Love and David Griffin and Dan Gilbert. But I doubt whatever happens it would be bad enough that they're the "laughing stock of the NBA". Lebron especially. He's clearly at the top of the hierarchy of the NBA and it would take something beyond drastic to be the laughing stock.

I was reading Matthew Berry's love hate the other day. He was writing about why he likes Johnny Football, but included a short comparison about Lebron. Lebron's so respected and admired he'll never be a laughing stock:
"Obscure TMR trivia: Before I came to ESPN, I spent two years working with the NBA as a fantasy consultant to help their fantasy basketball business grow and doing some on air stuff for them. Love the NBA, and definitely would not be here if not for them. Anyways, the NBA is always very gracious with me, and as a result I get invited to some fun things I have no business being at. This past All-Star weekend, I get invited to a party for LeBron. There are only like 200 people at this thing, and as I'm walking around, I see tons of celebrities and loads of NBA players. Kevin Durant. Blake Griffin. Chris Bosh. Dwyane Wade. And so on. My wife and I are like numbers 199 and 200 on this list -- everyone at this party is either someone or knows someone. And when you're at a party like this, you're supposed to act like you've been there before. Don't bother the celebs, just hang out and be casual. And guys like KD and Blake walked through the party with no issue. LeBron, however, couldn't move two feet without being stopped. A hug, can I get a picture, shake your hand ... the man literally could not move. And to his credit, he was smiling, gracious and took every picture that was asked.
I had a whole new appreciation for what his life must be like. He couldn't even relax at an intimate party with a bunch of other NBA superstars. It was just nuts. And Johnny Manziel's life is like that, too. At least with LeBron, he's sort of been prepared for it, right? Been a phenom since he was 12, NBA scouts and packed gyms in high school, he's grown up with the intense scrutiny. "

The only word to describe it for me is surreal. I still have moments from time to time where I think 'did this **** seriously happen, or am I just dreaming?'

[KI-DW-TT-AB]

I was going around guaranteeing a championship during the 09-10 season to everyone.

never will i make myself such a fool again.

It's crazy. I never knew or even imagined we'd have this oppritunistic and it would all come together so magically. People can say Lebron made all this happen, but Lebron didn't injure George. Lebron didn't make Love hate Minny.

A lot of random stuff came together at the right time to create the 2014-2015 Cavs. It's freakin crazy

Lebron did make all this happen...it would be incredibly naive to say otherwise. LBJ didn't need to injure PG....Chicago and Cleveland on paper are the kings of the East, Pacers were 3rd with PG.....now they are gone. Love doesn't hate Minnesota, he loves money and attention....Minnesota froze him out on the money, and you don't get attention there unless your KG and can actually carry a team.

They are more than likely going to the finals, the only team the Cavs have to fear is the Spurs and possibly Memphis and the Clips.

LeBron leaving felt worse than this feels good IMO.

What does George have to do with anything?

LeBron didn't make Love want to leave Minnesota but he absolutely made Love want to go to Cleveland.

A little championship pressure ain't no thang for LeBron fans. We've seen it all.

And the only teams the Spurs have to fear are the other 7 seeds in the Western Conference.

Feels good. Like running your feet through a fine chinchilla coat.
