The Cleveland Cavaliers are definitely headed to the NBA playoffs, but just how far will they go?
Are they only months away from being champions, or will they fall painfully short?
Speaking on “Run It Back,” Lou Williams said he doesn’t think any other team has what it takes to stop the Cavs, except the Boston Celtics.
He believes the Eastern Conference Finals will be a showdown between those two teams, and no one else will come close.
“Orlando, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Detroit, Indiana; none of these teams are gonna have what’s needed to compete with the Cavaliers or Celtics. And the Knicks just showed it. They can’t even compete with them,” Williams said.

The New York Knicks are the third-best team in the East, but they weren’t able to even come close the other night.
They were easily taken down 124-105 by the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
Throughout the season, the Cavaliers have defeated just about all of their competition, sometimes by very comfortable margins.
This is great news for Cleveland fans, but there is still worry about this team, and it comes in the form of the Celtics.
Boston might be the second seed in the East, but they are still incredibly tough and competitive.
They hold a 56-20 record right now and are still the reigning champions, even if they aren’t the top seed in their conference.
Because of their roster depth, their dominance on both ends of the court, and their experience in the postseason, there are plenty of reasons to fear the Celtics.
But according to Williams, no one else should keep the Cavs up at night.
