If I am going to be totally honest here, I have to say that the Eastern Conference has been a little underwhelming this year. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been lambasted all season long, with tomes being written about how badly that team underachieved. Looking back now, you begin to wonder if they were underachieving, or were simply doing enough to secure the number one seed in the conference. They have torn through the opening two rounds of the postseason, and are now just sitting around waiting to see if they will face the Miami Heat or the Toronto Raptors in the Conference Final. It is the Raptors who have the edge in that series at the moment, but all 5 games so far have been tight, which suggests that the series may be far from over. Whoever wins the East knows that they are going to have an epic struggle on their hands in the Finals, as they are going to be facing one of three very good teams: The Warriors, Spurs, or Thunder. I will get into what might happen in the Finals in another article, but for now, let’s take a look at how I think the Eastern Conference is going to play out.
