Even though the Boston Celtics didn’t make any power moves before the NBA trade deadline, they will still be coupled with the Toronto Raptors and the Washington Wizards as the only teams to potentially topple the Cleveland Cavaliers in a long series. How likely is that though?
The Cavaliers have been dominating recently after a horrendous stretch in January. LeBron had a triple-double two nights ago, and Korver continues to help the Cavaliers improve from beyond the arc. This team, when playing their best, is absolutely unstoppable- especially right now as they are 8-1 in February.
Toronto, Boston, and even Washington could all be considered legitimate threats to the Eastern Conference leading Cavaliers.
