Cavaliers go into home opener with targets on their backs

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Miami Heat in their home opener Friday with a target squarely on their backs.

In a recent interview with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, Heat star Dwyane Wade openly admitted his goal to unseat his former teammate from his controlling spot in the East this season. "Some things you don't have to talk about," Wade said. "LeBron knows we coming for them. They at the top of the Eastern Conference, everybody going for them."
