Cavs move to 6-0 on the season with a 120-109 win over the Magic.

offense is rolling

they are really spreading it around this season. One of biggest issues with JB was he rode his starters too hard, Mitchell's utilization was way too high, so as the season wore on, they wore out. Both Garland and Mitchell are at 30 or less for the season, thats a 5 minute drop over last 2 years. I know it don't seem much but thats a huge drop and if we can maintain that, that will be great come June. My first look at Travers tonight.. I like him, he's kinda scrappy and a good defender.. I like him at the 3, he could also play the 4 in small ball lineups.

I agree. The team is much more balanced right now and the development of Mobley/Allen makes us even better.

Cavs manage to pul out a 1 point win against the Bucks. Man, they were down huge early, but managed to come back to win with a basket by Mitchel with less than a second left. 7-0. Gotta win the squeakers.

j/c...

What a game. On the road on a back-to-back.

The bench was outstanding tonight for the Cavs.

this was a game they would lose last year. They got in a hole after Dame came out and lit them up in first quarter, got it even by half.. then alot of back and forth. Very fun game that came down the the end. Mitchell is just so good.

This is what leaders say. Not taking the credit for win, but giving accolades to teammates that helped create the situation.

this team is much healthier this year so far

I love this team. Best team of my lifetime. If we had this team with lebron we’d be better than the bulls dynasty

Gotta love another win ... even though they squeeked it out, they squeeked it out.

Garrett wishing he was a Cav instead of the dumpster fire a few blocks away.

I kid!

Atkinson has taken guys like Garland and Mobley that were dying on the vine under JB and really is getting the best out of him. I was a little skeptical on the KA hire because I didn't know much about him, but more I read I felt he was going to do great things with this team, I didn't think itd happen this quickly. To be able to still defend well and have the offense we have is great coaching. His substitutions and rotations are just about perfect, he seems to know how to manage his bench to get his guys rest and still keep the right players out to maintain momentum. We got a steal by getting him. Hell a 40 year old lebron on this team 3 peats..lol

8-0 feels very nice

Look horrible so far tonight. Pelicans absolutely suck. No way they should be doing what they are doing. Hope we get going

Got it tied back at half. Jerome coming on

128-119 Cavs with 28 seconds left.

9-0!

Cavs win 131-122.

This offense is relentless. Teams can't just sit on garland/Mitchell anymore because everyone is constantly moving. Mitchell is so clutch, its crazy. Even tonight when Mobley just got destroyed by Zion for the whole game, we adjusted to get back into it and pull away. I don't know how long we can keep this up but I know going 5-0 on the road so far to start the season is crazy

9-0. What a team thus far

Really like Jerome's game!

Tomorrow a huge game against the Warriors

yeah that will be a fun one

Should be a shootout tonight. Nothing I would like more than beating the Warriors at home.

Me too! This is a yardstick game. May not qualify as a gut check because we are not in dire times currently, but with the deeper rotations we are running, a bunch of the Cavs will be measured tonight. If we go out and decide we need to miss about 30 three's, I do not think it will go our way. If we run, force them to foul us, and be aggressive in the paint really running at them to open up the perimeter, I like our chances. We will need to bear down on D IMO. Go, Cavs! For The Land!

Cavs with 83 .... yes 83 points in the first half!

Holy smokes Batman!

Cavs 83-42 at the half. Yikes!

I don’t want to jinx it but…. Good god

Up by 41 at the half against a 7-1 Warriors team, incredible.

As good as that first half was, we’re about to give it all back with a horrendous second half. George Niang is not an nba player

They look like they went to sleep.

Woke back up

Whew. 10-0 .....

j/c...

83 points at halftime. The Cavs were unconscious shooting in the first half. Ball movement was incredible. Obviously, the pace was not sustainable over 4 quarters. Convincing win against a 7-1 team.

What an enjoyable team to watch and represent the city and its fans. Selfless basketball.

its got to be karma for having to watch a god awful football team.. Everything thats good about the Cavs is the complete opposite of what we see on sundays

This has been a blast so far. I have not missed a game yet this year

I'm going to start watching them again then, that's what I need. I keep forgetting that they're on (bad memory).

10-0. Pretty incredible the way they are playing

Bumbling Haslam finally helping out a Cleveland team!....

Ugh ... so far a pretty crappy game on the 2nd night of a back to back, against a lesser team, following a highly hyped game.
