We take on the 30-20 Cleveland Cavaliers, who have been very good this year and are in real competition for home court in the first round of the playoffs. This is on track to be the first season that the Cavs have finished with a .600 record(they're on pace for 49.2 wins) without Lebron since 1992-3. Back when they won 54 games, the Mark Price/Craig Ehlo Cavs. In fairness they did come pretty damn close a few times after that (.573 in 1993-4, for example, and .573 again in 1997-8), but that's how it is.
Meanwhile, we're currently a .367 team which is lovely.
Let's see what happens.
