Until the team that is 36-5 in the East the last 3 seasons actual falters in the playoffs there is no reason to expect them to falter this season, especially given the significant regular season faltering during those last 3 seasons.
People don't see the picture, there is no meaning whatsoever for the Cavs(and all contenders) to "only win the east"
They are losers last season just as we were, get beat down 4-1 by their west opponent, (and played atrocious defense just like regular season)
and people are talking about coast through regular season like they are the defending champ. they aren't.
And there no hope at all for them to do it this year, whether it's the warriors or the team beat them
so yeah, the Cavs is in big trouble and Lebron should be worried, unless he already giveup
on the other hand we are aiming for the champ this year already and is only going to get better
