For this weeks blog I will be talking
about the Cleveland Cavaliers, my favorite NBA (National Basketball
Association) team. They belong to the Central Division of the Eastern
Conference. They are led by LeBron James(in addition to being the #1
facilitator in the league right now he is a 4-time NBA MVP, two-time NBA
Champion and NBA Finals MVP, averages. In addition to Kevin Love (an
outstanding center who can grab lots of rebounds and has lengthened range in
his shot) and Kyrie Irving (Drafted in 2011 he is already a standout point
guard ranking who has incredible dribbling skills in addition to a great
outside shot. Another addition made to the team was LeBron James’ old point /
shooting guard teammate Mo Williams. I think this was a great decision made by the
Cavaliers because Mo and LeBron share a bond that has yet to be found in Kyrie
and LeBron. This has been a price that has already paid off because Mo is
contributing just under 20 points, around 6 assists and 4 rebounds per game. Last
season the Cavaliers suffered a devastating loss to the Golden State Warriors
in the Finals losing the series 4-2, due to the fact that Kevin Love and Kyrie
Irving were injured for whole series. This season their record is (8-1) ,which
is #1 in the Eastern Conference, just coming off of a win in which the final
score was 90-84. Many predict they will make it to the Finals again and are amongst
the favorites in the Eastern Conference. As for the Golden State Warriors they
are an impressive (9-0) lead by last season’s MVP Stephen Curry (who has the
best three point stroke in the NBA right now), and also is the key facilitator for
their team. Right now I think the Cavaliers are bound to win the championship only
if they bond more as a team and learn more about each other individually.
