It looks like the Cavs will win the East, despite the Raptors being 2.5 game behind and nipping at Cleveland’s heels for much of the second half of the season.
Once the playoffs do finally roll around, Kyrie Irving feels his squad is the team to beat. But he’s not just talking about the East. It sounds like he means the entire league as well.
It’s great that he sounds that confident, because there are some worthy competitors our West.
“I feel like we’re the team to beat,” Irving said. “It’s open season until we get into the playoffs. I have a lot more confidence than I think anyone realizes in our team and what’s going on in our locker room.”
