Are the Cleveland Cavaliers one of the three teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference that can beat the Boston Celtics at full strength? Which top teams, if any, can lay claim to such a bold take, given the Celtics are the current defending champions and have played pretty much all of the East ball clubs well so far this season?
With teams like the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and especially the Philadelphia 76ers struggling, the top teams of recent seasons have taken a different outline, with the Cavs, New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and even Detroit Pistons looking likely to pick up that mantle.
The folks behind the “NESN” YouTube channel put together a clip getting into this topic recently. Check it out below!
