NBA: Confident Cleveland Cavaliers gear up for their title defence
LeBron James believes the Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to defend their NBA crown.
Los Angeles: LeBron James believes the Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to defend their NBA crown as the postseason gets under way this weekend with the Golden State Warriors desperate to reclaim their throne.
The Cavaliers stumbled into the playoffs after an erratic finale to the regular season which saw them pipped for the number one ranking in the Eastern Conference by the Boston Celtics. Despite a four-game losing streak which culminated with 98-83 defeat to Toronto, James is confident the Cavaliers will raise their game as they prepare for game one of their best-of-seven series against Pacers. The Cavaliers will head into Saturday’s opener buoyed by the knowledge they have already dominated the Pacers early this season.
