What do the Cavs mean for the Lakers?

And other Central Division questions

It is supposed to become tougher from here for Cleveland, and will be. The question is whether or not the Cavs will let it show.

We’ve got plenty of questions for every team in the NBA, though fewer about Cleveland, a provably fearsome bunch as witnessed by Wednesday’s steady dismissal of the visiting Thunder.

Today we’ll talk Central, then Atlantic, then whatever the rest of the divisions are. Midwest, Northeast, Northmid.

To those with facepaint on, little pennants in the pencil mug, many of these may read as tired laments from an outsider. This is agreeable up to a certain concession, as I am awfully caffeinated. Those little off-brand Tylenol pills they sell with caffeine in there? This stuff is great.

CLEVELAND
