Cleveland is 100/1 to win the title and their O/U for games won is 34.5 (pretty generous imo). 2011 NBA odds (http://www.vegasinsider.com/nba/odds/futures/)

Anybody give the Cavs a chance at making it with this no-name bunch? I just don't see it, but it would be crazy if they matched up with Miami in the first round (a sweep no doubt, but entertaining nonetheless). Any takers.
I'm going with 27-55...not enough firepower.

If spurs werent to win it this year, I would give my life savings to see Cavs win it all for the sake of Miami Heat trio and LeBron :P

and to think

all you have to do is Add LeBron James to that shitty roster, and suddenly they are the #1 seed in the league with 60+ wins.

That's how good LBJ is. It's time for LeBron to dominate the league.

Well this time around they don't have LeBron... so who knows... they might actually take it all this year

crofl, absolutely not.

The only reason they're being considered is because they've had the #1 seed the last 2 years. If this was the Clippers roster they would be an afterthought

tbh the clippers are still an afterthought, even with blake

I'm rooting for them just to see a first round match-up between Cleveland and Miami.

Don't really give a fuck whether Miami sweeps via an average of 60 points. :lol
