Well fans, it appears that the Cleveland Cavaliers are marching loudly towards the 2010 NBA Crown! Even with Mo and Delonte sidelined & Leon Powe rehabbing, the Cavs are on a hot streak with 8 wins in a row. And the future looks bright as their schedule will favor a larger share of home games.
The Lakers just don't have any stars beside Bryant as a shooter, scorer and closer. Let him get his 30 and play solid Mike Brown defense and you can take them in seven. Boston is getting old and banged up. Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett and Rasheed are all 30+. Soo, once again, stop their one star, Rondo, who can't shoot a j outside 20 feet, and play solid Mike Brown defense and you can take them in seven. Orlando, with the loss of Terkolu, Courtney Lee and "Skip To Ma Lou",in off season free agency and trades, doesn't have the same dynamic as last year. Soo, stop Howard with Shaq Diesel, and you play solid Mike Brown defense and you take them in seven.
There are other up and coming teams,i.e. Denver, Atlanta,Dallas and others; but no team in the NBA has the team chemistry, talent, coaching and fans like Cleveland. I realize its still early in the long sojourn of an NBA season but I see the Cleveland Cavaliers as the team to beat in the NBA. All the rest just don't match up with the likes of Lebron, Shaq, Mo, Delonte, Andy Verejao,Zydrunas, Boobie Gibson, Jamario Moon,Anthony Parker, JJ Hickson, Jawad Williams et al. This team is deep in talent and Mike Brown is an advocate of teaching and playing tenacious defense. Give me your take!
