Here we go!

Since the LeBron James era began, I expect improvement every year from the Cleveland Cavaliers. So far, they have not disappointed. Their number of wins have indeed gone up each season, and the playoffs finally arrived last year.

But in 2006-2007, they finished with the same amount of wins (50) as they did in 2005-2006. So in order to have the improvement I demand from my team, they've got to advance further into the playoffs.

Last season, they won their first round 4 games to 2, and knocked off the Pistons three times in the second round.

Therefore, the only way I will consider this season a success is to get the fourth win in the second round, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

It all begins today with Game 1 against Washington. Tipoff is in two hours. Let's Go Cavs.
