Last night after the Cleveland Cavaliers took a 3-0 series lead against the Atlanta Hawks, LeBron James had had high praise for his team. During his post game press conference, LeBron directly said that these Cavs are 'destined for greatness'.

Here's the full quote via cleveland.com:

"We're a team that's destined for greatness and I really believe that," James said. "We've got a mission, and we have another chapter in our goals on Sunday so we look forward to the challenge."

Both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are healthy and playing a high level so far. And as a team, the Cavs are shooting from deep at an incredibly high level. In fact, they've been historically good over the last two games:

There's still basketball to be played, but if the Cavs keep playing at this level, greatness may very well be in store.
