How far can the Cleveland Cavaliers go this year?
That is a question that all NBA fans are asking right now after their monstrous 13-0 start.
Some people think they can win a title, while others are fearful they’ll fall short.
Speaking with ESPN Cleveland, Tim Bontemps said he thinks the Cavaliers are a “lock” to be the top two seed in the Eastern Conference.
Better yet, some people believe they could secure the top spot when the regular season concludes.

It’s hard to argue against Bontemps right now, given the team’s amazing record.
13-0 is historic and it suggests the Cavaliers know exactly what they are doing.
Even if they start to experience problems, the team still has a chance of being the best team in the Eastern Conference.
While they will eventually lose games, and could slip down the rankings, the idea of this team completely falling apart for the rest of the season seems far-fetched.
If the Cavaliers get the second spot, as Bontemps predicts, who will be the best team in the conference?
Most people agree the reigning champion Boston Celtics have the best shot at staying at the top when the postseason kicks off.
Right now, they are doing very well with 10-3.
There are other competitive teams in the East but it seems that the Cavs and Celtics are easily the best.
Many fans and analysts are predicting a showdown between these two for the number one seed.
Right now, that seed is firmly owned by the Cavaliers.
Bontemps thinks they might slip down, but it won’t be by a lot.
