I'd rank us 4th. CLE isn't dead yet. They have serious problems, but they still have Lebron and if they figure out a way to integrate IT and IT is healthy, they're a tough match up for us.
I think Houston projects above us with Paul back. If Paul is injured or a non-factor, I think we're better.
And of course, upset win or not, GSW is still the champ and the best team in the league.
What is most heartening is that we've shown we're not getting humiliated by CLE or anyone else come playoff time. We beat a really good Toronto team without our best player, and then beat the best team in the league while they were on a 7 game winning streak.
We're going to be a tough out come next May unless we're unfortunate with (further) injuries.
