Thought Lebron and the Cavs had a good shot at the finals playing a weak Celtics team, a shadow of Rose's former self, and an injury riddled Atlanta team. They had an easy path with Lebron playing against middle rated defences. Still an impressive feat to make it to the finals for 5 years straight though.
I honestly think the finals will be a Warriors dominance, they are far and away the best team this year and also the best defensively (even Stephen Curry turned into an above average defender). Lebron won't have it quite as easy against the Warriors, they are deep and have multiple defenders that can guard him. I think it'll be Warriors in 5.
Hindsight the Cavs never should have traded Wiggins, with Love being a UFA. They were due to make it out of the East with or without Love.
