I think they absolutely should be the favorites to win the East. People forget very easily that Cleveland won it last year with LeBron James and nothing else. If a one man team can win it, surely a three man team can. Their window is not going to last long and I do think that any one of four or five teams from the West would be favored over them in the Finals but I agree with them being favored in the East. It just doesn't take much to be the best in the East.
