Testing!
The Cavs' current seven-game West Coast swing is about nothing if not damage control. I decided twenty games ago that three wins would be sufficient. Now it looks like they could pull out four - even five if the sun shines. Of course, the only quality team they've faced had their way with them.
But that's neither here nor there. You see, the Cavs are not a championship team this year, and thus their road chops against the best or second-best team in the NBA should be mostly irrelevant. Or, if not irrelevant, already obvious. It is unfortunate that they are in the position of being the East's best since, in a normal year and in a normal conference, they would have two or three superiors to take the pressure off. As it is, a conference championship would be deeply ironic. My only hope is that no one will expect too much.
Let the soft bigotry of low expectations rein!
