The Cleveland Cavaliers now have a true nemesis. For three years this team has been able to coast into the playoffs and not care about who or what is in their way until they reached the Finals. This season that will change.
They dealt their second best player, superstar Kyrie Irving, to the Boston Celtics. Along with the addition of Gordan Hayward and several young, promising pieces, the Celtics are finally in a position to truly matchup with the King. The Cavaliers have lost in the Eastern Conference Finals just three times over their last three Finals’ runs.
