Next Game – OKC. Have two teams ever met at this point in a season with a combined 61-9 record or better?

If this Cavs team were a song, they’d be Woo-Ha by Busta Rhymes. It makes sense in my head

5:48 Can’t help but laugh at what Strus and Garland are doing here. It’s like they’re playing schoolyard monkey-in-the-middle with Jeff Green as the monkey.

The Cavs offense is so polished. No forced possessions, every in the flow of the offense.

Love this team it’s now a “shocker” if they loose what a breath of fresh air. Wednesday game against OKC is going to be a great test. The best 2 records in the league going at it

If the Cavs play like this against the Thunder, then the Cavs are going to lose

Yes. But first games back after a road trip or notoriously difficult. They got back to Cleveland at 6am the night before

It’s crazy how the cavs have two players that won All Star MVP but yet the NBA media don’t want to talk about them 🤔

Media is tripping. Cavs are on par to have the same record as the best season of the Golden State’s 73-9. If they play any better, they will beat it. Percent is the same at the moment.

Speaking of last season for the highlight fans of sports… The Cavs star players in Mitchell, Garland, Mobley, and Allen missed a combined 43 games last season and missed games in the playoffs…this year, so far, they’ve only missed 4 games between the 4 of them..The record isn’t unbelievable. Cleveland, OKC, and Boston didn’t really tweak their lineups during the offseason. They’re letting their players on their teams build a real repoire with each others. The cavs are number 1 in eFG%, FG% offensive rating, Points per possession..and they have the 2nd highest offensive rating in League history only 1 point behind Boston’s record they set last year..but the cavs have a top 5/6 defense as well. OKC has the best team defense easily, though 😊
