Before the playoffs start, I’m making my call and that is the Cavs will be the 2010 NBA Champions.  I think they will end up meeting the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals and judging by everything I’ve seen in the regular season, it’s their time to shine.  The reason why I picked them comes down to one name: Lebron James.

He’s determined.  He’s poised.  He’s confident.  And he’s the best in the game of basketball.  No one can stop him and with a pretty good supporting cast including Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, Anthony Parker, and Shaquille O’Neal, I think the Cavs are ready to celebrate in champagne.

It’s hard to go against the Lakers as the 2010 NBA champions, but they showed a lot of weakness and uncertainty coming down the stretch.  Kobe is starting on the downside of his career while Lebron couldn’t be any more prime than right now.
