INDEPENDENCE, Ohio- Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristian Thompson will not play with LeBron James, but even without him, he still thinks that the Cavs are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.
The big man provided some of his thoughts earlier talking to the media after practice.
“We’re still the 4-time Eastern Conference champions,” Thompson said. ” So until you take us down from that, teams ain’t got much to say. Boston, Philly, they ain’t got much to say. Boston had homecourt for Game 7 – lost. Philly got almost swept and Toronto – we know that story.
