3. Matchup Advantages

Simply put, in every potential playoff matchup leading up to the finals, the Cavs trio of Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, and Kevin Love will be, at the very least, three of the four best players on the court.

Probable Matchups

Boston Celtics:

Marcus Smart
Isaiah Thomas
Avery Bradley

Verdict: Not Even Close

Chicago Bulls:

Jimmy Butler
Joakim Noah
Pau Gasol

Verdict: Found Lacking

Atlanta Hawks:

Jeff Teague
Paul Millsap
Al Horford

Verdict: Getting Warmer

Out of those three potential matchups, only Atlanta can sniff Cleveland in terms of overall talent, and even they aren’t in the same ballpark. The Cavs will walk into every series knowing that if they play their game, nobody has the horses to keep up.
