The Cleveland Cavaliers will make a run for the money and the championship in the upcoming NBA 2014-15 season. No doubt about it.
The Cavaliers has released an Intro Video, which the team intends to use during the NBA preseason that only got Cleveland basketball fans more excited.
And if the one-minute intro video is any indication of what supporters can expect from the new-look and upgraded Cavs team, they have all the reasons to be optimistic.
Bleacher Report said that the Cleveland Cavaliers is going into its NBA 2014-15 campaign with so much anticipation and expectations from fans, the first in the team's more than 40-year history.
With LeBron James back in Cavaliers uniform, surrounding himself with an All-Star supporting cast with the likes of Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, and Shawn Marion, Cleveland fans should really be thrilled.
The Cleveland Leader predicted that the Cavaliers games are "going to have an electric atmosphere this season," owing to the team's upgraded roster.
The report added that it is not aware yet of what the team has in store when it unveils its giant big screen that spans from foul line-to-foul line at the start of the regular season.
A Team to Beat
While defending champions San Antonio Spurs is still a prohibitive favorite to make it back to the NBA Finals from the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference is pretty much a toss-up.
With a highly-reinforced Cavaliers squad, led by four-time MVP LeBron James, the Cleveland team seems pumped up to make a run to the title of the "beast from the east."
Based on the official Cleveland Cavaliers roster listed on NBA.com, aside from All-Star James, Love, and Irving, former All-Star forward Shawn Marion is now with the team.
Forwards Mike Miller and James Jones have also joined LBJ in his move from the Miami Heat. And if Ray Allen signs up soon with the Cavs, he will be the fourth player from Miami to move to Cleveland for the next NBA season.
Brazilian Anderson Varejao will continue to man the slot for the Cavs along with Alex Kirk and NBA journeyman Brendan Haywood. Kevin Love can also play center but would be a better scorer if he plays as a power forward.
Matthew Dellavedova, Joe Harris, A.J. Price and Dion Waiters, expect to complement Irving's skills in the guard position.
It would be a mix of veteran smarts and skills in the forward position as James, Miller, Jones and Marion, shall be complemented by Lou Amundson, Shane Edwards, and Tristan Thompson.
