After watching the Cavaliers/Hornets game tonight, I have very little doubt in my mind that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the NBA Championship. LeBron is simply unstoppable. During the Olympics, he made claim to being the best player in the world. Over the first half of this season, he has grabbed that title with a larger fury then one of his dunks.
The Cavaliers were the only team that really came close to beating the Celtics last season, and they are only better this year. Talk all you want about Baron Davis, Elton Brand, or Marcus Camby, the biggest player movement of the offseason was the Cavs trading for Mo Williams. Williams gives the Cavs a legitimate point guard and another outside shooter to take the burden off of and spread the floor for LeBron.
Also, mark down the fact that the Cavs will probably get some more talent through trade (Wally Szczerbiak and his expiring deal) or bought out veterans looking for a rig (like Cassell and PJ Brown with the Celtics last year) and look out. Cleveland is already 20-0 at home and has the best record in the East, meaning home court advantage until the Finals. On top of that, the Cavs have a point differential of almost 12 ppg.
Call me crazy, but the best player in the world, combined with an incredible home court advantage and the leagues best defense, yeah, that sounds title worthty to me. Exactly how the Celtics win #17 last season (maybe not the best player in the world, but the best trio in the league). LeBron is an unstoppable force and this year begins year one of the Cleveland CavaBrons dominance in the NBA.
