Cavs News: LeBron Says Cleveland Is "A Championship Contender, But We Aren't There Yet"

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a big step towards clinching the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference on Sunday by knocking off the third-place Chicago Bulls, but LeBron James warned fans not to get ahead of themselves:

"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."

Cleveland and Chicago were the two favorites to come out of the East before the season started, but now it looks like they'll face each other in the conference semifinals.
