Who Wins the (L)Eastern Conference?
Tyson Newman: Cleveland Cavaliers. See my pick for the NBA title winner. I don’t think anyone in the east will have enough fire power to stop the Cavs.
Karthik Narayanan: Cleveland Cavaliers. I don’t see anyone challenging them in the East. Could be three quick series for the Cavs in the Eastern Conference before a difficult Finals match-up.
Greg Foster: The Cleveland Cavaliers. See the section on which team will win the title for further explanation.
Richard Lu: Cleveland Cavaliers. Barring injuries, Cleveland is easily the best team in the East. A dark horse candidate could be the Miami Heat, but how much can D-Wade provide now?
Ryan Aston: Despite everything that beset them in the later rounds of the playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled through the east and nearly won the title. I’d love to go off the reservation here and pick the Wizards or something, but LeBron is still the king and the Cavs are deeper than ever before.
Blake Draper: Cleveland Cavaliers. No team in the current Eastern Conference is strong enough to beat even a relatively healthy Cavaliers team. And by relatively healthy, I mean having at least LeBron James on the court.
