Along with James, Cleveland has All-Stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, as well as a solid core of Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye and a handful of other decent role-players.
The Sixers, on the other hand, are winless at 0-4 and are not expected to be a playoff contender.
While Joel Embiid looks like a star, and Dario Saric coming off of back-to-back solid performances, the Sixers don’t match up well with the Cavaliers at all (few teams do, in Philly’s defense).
It’ll be a classic tale of David vs. Goliath, but there will be plenty to watch for throughout the game.
