NBA Opening Week continues on Thursday as the Cleveland Cavaliers make their season debut with a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers (1-0) went 45-37 last year and won their season opener on Tuesday, spoiling the Knicks' ring and banner night as LeBron James made his team debut. Now, James will face one of his former teams, and it's a Cavs squad coming off a 52-30 record before getting swept in the Eastern Conference Finals.
