LeBron James and the Cavaliers Are Likely NBA Finalists

Trust me, I have nothing against the city of Cleveland and its sports teams.

However, this LeBron James and J.R. Smith led Cleveland Cavaliers run through the weak NBA East truly diminishes the Cavs’ and James’ accomplishment to this point.

The series victory vs the Hawks is a virtual, foregone conclusion, though when the so called “experts” call it such, watch Atlanta rally a bit.

However, this is the NBA and television dollars “demand” James, not Atlanta vs the West winner in the NBA finals.

This is not to imply wrongdoing or that Cleveland is not the better team. It is that I “knew”/sensed James and the Cavaliers would be in the NBA Finals this season.

The “odds people” agree as the Cavaliers about a 2 to 1 favorite when the series began and are now 5 to 1 favorites to make the NBA Finals for the second time in the 45 season history of the franchise.
