LeBron James prepares for Playoff Run

With the close of the 2009-2010 NBA season, LeBron James has his Cleveland Cavaliers in a great position. The team currently sits on the top of the Eastern Conference standings. Not only that, but they currently hold the best record in the NBA.

LeBron James had his team in the exact position last season, but that did not stop the Orlando Magic from knocking them out of the playoff picture. This season, James is determined to not let any opposition come between himself and the NBA title.

Despite there being no chance of any team catching them in the standings, LeBron James has decided to play out the final games of the season. Usually, late in the season, the stars sit out until it is time for the playoffs. But, in order to keep himself from getting rusty, James has decided to keep himself in the game.

While it is a common fact that LeBron James will be playing in the 2010 playoffs, there is no certainty with the lower-seeded teams. The Bulls, featuring All-Star Derrick Rose, and the Raptors, featuring All-Star, Chris Bosh are battling for the final playoff spot in the East. If one of these two teams ends up making the playoffs, they will draw Cleveland in the first round. More than likely, this means that they will end up losing in the first round to LeBron James and his Cavaliers.
