Miami Heat president Pat Riley feels good about the team's chances of being a top contender in the Eastern Conference this season due to the lack of a dominant team.
Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Riley said Friday the Heat "see an opportunity because there isn't a Golden State in our conference or San Antonio or Houston."
The Cleveland Cavaliers have represented the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals each of the past three seasons, including winning the 2016 NBA championship.
This offseason has seen the Cavs undergo drastic changes.
