The NBA playoffs are still a few months away, but Cleveland Cavaliers fans are already preparing for what they will be like.
Speaking on 92.3 The Fan, Anthony Lima talked about the Cavs in the postseason and said he is ready for them to take on one of their biggest rivals: the Boston Celtics.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think they have a shot against Boston in a playoff series. I would not have thought that before the year started,” Lima said.
"Truth be told, I'm ready for the playoffs. I can't believe I'm saying this, I think they have a shot against Boston in a playoff series. I would not have thought that before the year started."@SportsBoyTony and @KenCarman on the #Cavs🏀

The Celtics are obviously not an easy team and currently have a 32-15 record.
But that’s not as good as the Cavaliers, who are 37-9 and remain the top team in the Eastern Conference.
Still, some people fear that the Cavs don’t have what it takes to topple the Celtics, especially in the playoffs.
After all, the Celtics are still the reigning champions and know how to fight their way through the Finals.
Right now, it looks like these will be the top Eastern teams to beat in the playoffs, with the New York Knicks also in the mix.
There are concerns and Lima listed a few, including Dean Wade’s injury and the idea of Max Strus’ shooting in the playoffs.
But he still believes that the Cavaliers can take down the Celtics, which would be a massive accomplishment.
The Cavaliers are currently 1-1 against the Celtics this season, proving they can beat Boston but it won’t be easy.
Luckily for them, they have a few more months to prepare for any potential postseason showdown.
