This season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are doing one thing: Chasing the Golden State Warriors. They have one mission. They want and crave revenge. But, throughout the season, they will need to play to their strengths in order to get some easy victories in a lacking Eastern Conference.
LeBron James and company have struggled in the Eastern Conference throughout the regular season before. Last season, they finished second in the East to the obviously inferior Boston Celtics. Although it would be nice to see them blaze through the East, it won’t be as easy as it sounds.
The Celtics, behind the Cavaliers’ former point guard, Kyrie Irving, have a revamped their team with both Irving and Gordan Hayward, who they acquired this offseason.
