LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have cruised through the Eastern Conference playoffs so far.

They remained undefeated in the playoffs after their Game 1 117-104 win in the East Finals on Thursday.
Some have said that the Cavs chose the easier route in the playoffs trying to avoid certain matchups. Wizards' guard Bradley Beal is one of those people.
"Cleveland didn't want to see us," Beal told CSN's Chris Miller.
"I always said that. I felt like that's a reason they didn't play us in the second round. They didn't want to see us in the second round. They didn't want to go down in the second round."
Washington didn't get the chance to play Cleveland in these playoffs after losing Game 7 on the road in Boston in the Conference Semi-Finals.
In their three games vs the Cavs in the regular season Beal's Wizards came away with a 1-2 record.
You could make an argument that matchup wise Washington posed the biggest threat to the Cavaliers, however making an argument for them beating the Cavs in a seven game set should fall upon deaf ears.
