2015 NBA Predictions: Can Cleveland Cavaliers Win a Championship?
Last year, LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to an incredible playoff run despite the relative inadequacy of the team around him and the injured superstars the roster was built around. This year, the Cavs have had some time to learn to play together and I expect them to dominate the Eastern Conference. Still, overall, the Western Conference will be vastly superior than the East. I expect the Cavs to coast all year, but can they overcome the superiority of the other conference when it matters most? Here are our divisional predictions for the 2015 NBA season… but for me this whole year comes down to which team survives the Western Conference gauntlet and if they have enough in the tank to beat LeBron James again…
