WOW WATCHING REPLAY—— CAVS DESTROYED THE DUB s DESPITE FOUL DISPARITY
Jogged my memory…the warriors got to 48-4 in their record breaking year. Bulls in 95 got to 41-4. Those are unbelievable numbers.
However…it appears the Cavs 66 win season they got to 26-4. So that record is officially up for grabs pace wise.
I think the trend of “regular season doesn’t matter just get in” is going to go away with the new CBA. Parity means home court advantage really starts to matter again.
Let’s go Cavs!
The regular season matters. Most times, the best regular season team is the best team, or close to it. Especially if it is by a wide margin. A game or two? That’s a virtual tie. Sometimes you get an injury that sets a team back for a while.Or a new addition messes with the chemistry for a while. I mean, I don’t think this team will be ’96-’97 Bulls good. Or 70+ win, 5 straight Finals with 3 tities Dubs good. Or 33 win streak ’72 Lakers good. What did the Heatles get to, 26? The ’86 Celtics went 40-1… Read more »
It is a bit early to be comparing us to the top years of dynastic teams (MJ/Pippen Bulls, Steph/Klay/Dray/KD Dubs, Bird’s Celtics, LeBron/Wade Heat, Magic/Kareem Lakers, Russell’s Celtics, Mikan’s Lakers, Duncan Spurs, Shaq/Kobe Lakers), that’s rare air.
As is the single champ seasons of the ’72 Lakers, Moses/DocJ ’83 Sixers, and ’71 Kareem/Oscar Bucks.
But in terms of the start? We are starting to sniff that neighborhood. String together 5-6 more in a row and we could be moving in.
Now watching GS postgame show. For month of December, Warriors have second worst FG % (43.0). Only Nets have been worse.
“Are you worried about peaking to early” question from media. Feel like it was Chris Hayes? Just so dumb.
Yeah it’s not early anymore.
We haven’t even been whole yet. Okoro got hurt right when Strus got back.
my guess is that it is very rare for any team to be whole in today’s NBA
LMFAOOOOOO REFS WERE IN GOLDEN STATE’S BACK POCKET AND STILL GOT BOATRACED GTFOH STEPHANIE NIMBY
Seems like we good for backup big lol.
Strus so desperate to contribute. When the dam breaks it’s gonna be glorious.
An amazing DG game. Outplaying Curry, 25/8 with zero turnovers! Valuing every possession and had a bunch of steals and deflections.
…when he’s healthy
Sure, but he’s on pace for 58 games or so, which is good for Dean, and the small lineups work well enough.
Make it to March, get a buyout guy, and we good.
Ty Jerome attitude was infectious, I think. Energy and confidence just jumped when he came in in the second half.
Dubs got Allen and Mobley in foul trouble and it didn’t matter a wit. Cavs just keep coming and coming.
The Cavs big four are great and the fact that 5-11 are all really good makes it so hard to stop their bench lineups.
I’ll admit, at the end of last season, after eeking by Orlando, with all the same players, I didn’t see this coming.
This is something special,folks. Savor it.
you got that right!
I am always looking for my teams to excel, and now it is really happening
Cavs making it look easy. What a balanced team
Being deep and balanced and unselfish and this good is really rare.
28-4 for crying out loud.
I mean, IDK how this ends. And OKC is only 1 game behind us, but this is elite level stuff so far. IDK is it is quite top tier, but it is close.
My god this team!!! Steamrolls!
Wade is 100% the most pivotal role player on this team. We’re so much better when he’s healthy.
I feel like this 100% take Caris LeVert for granted. Yet I’ll allow it.
Caris has been awesome but we have several bigger gaurds who can replicate what he does (in different ways). With Wade, we have no replacement.
Yeah Wade and Jerome are duplicative skill-wise although Vert is significantly better
He is the only combo forward we have who helps on both ends. Niang is the only other 3/4 we have.
Hell yeah! 2nd half masterpiece. DG and DM just tremendous. Wade and Merrill so solid.
Two great wins. I think this was even better than the Denver trouncing. What a season!
Nice body language by Kerr there in the post game hand shake. Really proud of Atkinson and how well the Cavs are playing.
Yesh that was palpable. Great to see.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAVS ARE UNSTOPPABLE
The Cavs do not get that down about bad calls. It’s one of their strengths. The don’t care cause they know how much better they are than most teams.
That’s a great point.
ZERO STARTERS PLAYED 30 MINUTES ANOTHER KA MASTERCLASS
Beautiful numbers.
Really impressive
that’s right — got another game tomorrow night!
TT butterfingers
ALERT NOMAD THOR ALERT
5 min of important rest prior to Lakers. Great stuff.
We cannot beat this team by enough points. They are trash. They are moonballers in tennis. They do not deserve mercy. They deserve to be beaten so badly they are forced to move not just cities…but to change sports. They are a whole team version of the golden turd.
*chef’s kiss
ha-ha!
…
White flag from Kerr.
Golden State of Mind is fun right now!
Rare DG/Mobley minutes here.
