The Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling, and many have them as favorites in the Eastern Conference despite the Atlanta Hawks having a better record than them.
With how things are looking, having LeBron James on the roster and being in a weak Eastern Conference, the road to the NBA Finals is definite possibility for this team.
James acknowledges that, but doesn’t think his team is fully quite there yet.
“We’re a championship contender, but we’re not there yet,” James said. “We have the talent, we’ve had the process so far, but we still have some time left. We won’t take those days for granted.”
Cavs head coach David Blatt echoed the same notion.
“We’ve got some things left in the bag still. We’re not trying to be magicians, we’re trying to figure out ways to win.”
Cleveland currently holds the second seed in the East, and it’ll likely stay at that entering the postseason.
