The finish line is in sight. Only seven games are remaining for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. As we enter the home stretch, let’s use this opportunity to poll the fan base on how confident they are in the season being extended.

We have one question for this week. Where will the Cavs season end? First round, second round, conference finals, runner-ups, or NBA champs?
Obviously, there are many factors at play. Health is maybe the biggest determining factor. But seeding and opponent will influence how far this team can go, as well. For example, you probably feel better about playing the Detroit Pistons than you do the Boston Celtics.
As of typing, Cleveland is in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. It feels fairly safe to assume they’ll finish the season there, though it’s still possible they could move up or down. Homecourt advantage would be a nice thing to secure.
I’d consider the Cavs somewhat of a wild-card contender. Could they make it to the NBA Finals and potentially even win, depending on the matchup? I believe so. But if you told me the Cavs flamed out and were upset in the first or second round, I hate to say I wouldn’t be overly surprised.
