The fight for supremacy in the Eastern conference is always a heated one, and this year the the conference's biggest stars are shining brighter than ever.

When the two teams currently atop the standings meet in Cleveland for conference show down, there will be lots for them to prove and even more for fans to see.

The reigning champs are recovering from a series of losses to the Lakers, the Warriors, the Trailblazers and the Knicks. This is the chance for Paul Pierce to rally his Celtics and show the hoops world they’re still the true beast of east.

For Cleveland, it’s time to prove their day has come. After several seasons of near victories and dramatic heartbreaks, LeBron James will step in to lead his squad to victory with his dominance and a whole bunch of points. But in the end it’ll be the team that wants it more that walks out with the win.

This one tips off Friday at 8:00pm.
