The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James reunited in the summer of 2014, following his four-year stint with the Miami Heat. One of the reasons James came back was his desire to bring a title to the team that drafted him back in 2003.

From USA Today’s Jeff Zillgitt:

"“I’m true to the game, and I know what I bring to the table,” James said. “I came back for a reason. I came back to bring a championship to our city. I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew what I learned in the last couple years that I was gone, and when I came back, I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we’ve never been. That’s what it was all about.”"

While Cleveland’s championship run was impressive, trying to repeat will be a tough challenge to say the least. Having said that, here is a look at some of their marquee matchups from the upcoming 2016-17 season.
