With that said, the Cavaliers will be 1st in the Central, 2nd in the East. (On a side note, the Sixers will be (1-2) against the Cavaliers this season.  I think they played hard enough to stay with the Cavs last year.  The Andre Iguodala-LeBron James matchup is worth watching, especially that dunk over LeBron. Things could be interesting when Eddie Jordan tries his Princeton Offense again against the Cavs.  Those Wizards-Cavalier matchups were interesting, especially in the playoffs, until the Wizards players could not keep their mouths shut!  Constant ball movement (and yes defense) could give the Cavaliers a hard time.  They struggle against the fastbreak.  If  the Offense is successfully performed, then it could be the Sixers being 2-1 in that series.  But I will for now stick to my original prediction that the Sixers will be 1-2.) Greatest strength(s):
-LEBRON JAMES 
-Mike Brown’s underrated defense system
-Quicken Loans Arena  (this place is electric!!)
-Decent backcourt
-Decent bench
-Interesting pregame rituals now Diesel Fueled

Greatest weakness(es):
-Free throw shooting
-Three point shooting
-Spacing issues (for Shaq and LeBron)
-Orlando Magic
 
The Question Marks:
-Which Shaq will show up?
-How effective will Ilguaskus be coming off the bench?
-Will the role players step up efficiently for LeBron?
-Will Shaq get his touches when it matters most?
-Will they hit the three pointers with regularity?
With that said, the Cavaliers will be 1st in the Central, 2nd in the East.

Should be interesting to see Shaq and Lebron coexist in the 12 foot and in area. I think we may see Lebron at the 4 some in a small lineup to keep 3 shooters on the court because Z at times was one of those.

Hope Delonte's situation improves.  He's a good player; has savvy and grit. Lebron.  A freight train on the break.  John Henry Johnson in sneakers.  Get out of the way! Good variety of skills on the additions Parker, Moon & Powe.  Nice work by Ferry. Ilgauskas reports for duty again, including his j-shooting ability. 1, 2 or 3 in the East.  How's that for going out on a limb?   Shaq’s funny.  I wonder if he’s in shape.  Gets harder every year.
