Crazy that the Warriors are ranked #1 in defense and offense, and the Cavs are still ahead :eek:

It took a while for the Cavs to get use to each other. Just like it took the Heat a while. Way too much talent fo not start clicking after a while and the trades massively helped.

There is MASSIVELY more talent on the Cavs than the Big 3's first year. It's really insane that year-1 Heat had Joel Anthony+Mike Bibby as starters, with Haslem and Miller injured, yet this Cavs team was trying to downplay expectations.

I never bought they weren't going to get it together, but the new pieces definitely seem to finally fit better.

These odds clearly are not up to date.

Same odds for the Hawks and Mavericks ? :confusedshrug:

Thunder favored over the Grizlies ? :confusedshrug:

Pistons with much better odds than the Hornets ? :confusedshrug:

This team has more talent then the 2011 Heat. The C position was highly questionable for the Heat in 2011.

Its because they have a better chance of making the Finals with how weak the East is at the top

They are definitely deeper. I think the Cavs will win their first championship this year.
