The Cleveland Cavaliers are probably going to have a rough season considering LeBron James left the team to go play in L.A.
Despite the fact that his team lost their best player Tristan Thompson believes the Cavs are the top team in the east until proven otherwise.

“We’re still 4-time Eastern Conference champions, so until you take us down from that, teams ain’t got much to say. Boston, Philly, they ain’t got much to say. Boston had homecourt Game 7 and lost. Philly, you guys almost got swept. Toronto – we know that story. Until someone takes us down not much they can really say
Tristan Thompson asked if the Cavs have enough “winning muscle memory.”
He proceeded to point to the Eastern Conference championship banners in the Cavs facility. “Enough winning muscle memory? Right there. 1, 2, 3, 4”
