I think we've thoroughly outplayed CLE on their home court over the course of 2 games.
Now, throw in us taking Orlando to 7 without KG last year, and us having a better team this year.... It's hard to argue that we aren't contenders, very hard.
I think we are the 1st best team in the east in the playoffs when healthy, not the best regular season team though. And good for us that this isn't the regular season anymore, where we were clearly waiting for the big show.
