The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to start the season without Lebron for the first time since 2014.
James left to join the Lakers, but Tristian Thompson believes that Cavs are still the team to beat. Speaking with the media Thompson was confident in the Cavs dominance in the East.
“We’re still 4-time Eastern Conference champions, so until you take us down from that, teams ain’t got much to say. Boston, Philly, they ain’t got much to say. Boston had homecourt Game 7 and lost. Philly, you guys almost got swept. Toronto – we know that story”

Thompson must not remember what the team was that before James return. Cleveland was a lottery team with less than 50 wins.
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris roasted Thompson’s on Twitter after receiving news of his claims.

The Cavs still have an opportunity to be a playoff team, but their days of running away with the Conference Title is over.
