Right now, there are 9 teams better than the Cavs

[SexSymbol]

so there's 9 teams that are better than the Cavs record wise.
How funny is that? So stacked, yet so weak

[Genaro]

Terrible start, they are fine since the trades. No excuses.

but they have the 4th best winning % since christmas (behind the pistons, of course).

[Kingwillball]

Bet they have top 3 record post all star break..

Goes to show how important those trades were.

Before those trades went down they were a mediocre team. Now they're the best.

[Uncle Drew]

Best record in the league as of Jan. 15. We're coming.

but all those teams are in the west, so really there is only 1 team better than the cavs and we'll find out which that team is after the nba finals.

Cav's don't have the best record in the east....

[LiLharvard]

records are irrelevant i'm living for today.

LeBron always makes historically stacked teams underachieve. Always. I don't know what it is. Poor leadership qualities, it might be.

[ShawkFactory]

Well Lebron was out for 10 games. If he plays in all of those they're right near the top. There aren't 9 better teams.

[Dengness9]

^^^^^^^this


Bron resting those however many games is the difference in them having a way better record.

They have a lot of roads games the rest of the way. It will be interesting to see how they fare but this team is loaded and possesses the most talent in the east.

Definitely my pick to come out of the East. Health is key and they are perfectly healthy now. Andy V may have gone down but he was replaced so it's a wash.

So they're 15-3 in the stretch. The teams that they have beaten are a combined 338-483(equivalent to a 33 win team over the entire season). And every playoff team they beat(Miami, Washington, OKC, Charlotte, Chicago, and Detroit) other than the Clippers were missing a starter. Boy, what an impressive stretch of basketball.
