The Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat each have three more games in the second round to win, but LeBron James admits he's already thinking about playing against his former team in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"Naturally, of course," James said following Cavs shootaround Wednesday morning, when asked about the chance to play the Heat. "That's since I've came back. It'd be great to play against those guys in the postseason.

"Throughout my whole career, I've always wanted to go against [Dwyane] Wade in a playoff series. We've always talked about it even before we became teammates in '10. "It's not been heavy on my mind, but it's crossed my mind throughout my whole career." 

The Cavaliers are 3-4 against the Heat since James returned to the franchise in 2014.
