The Cavs are for real [View all]

Did anyone else see that incredible game last night? I’d reckon that’s been the Game of the Year so far, with the possible exception of Lakers/Warriors on Christmas.

I love how there were constant lead changes, back-and-forth, how Jarrett Allen showed up big time in rebounds on both ends of the floor, the excitement, neither team really building that big of a lead on the other all night. Donovan Mitchell had a quiet scoring night and they still got the job done.

Now, I will say, Cleveland will have to knock off Boston, especially if fully healthy, but it’s time to start believing this is a team that can win the NBA Championship. They showed it last night.

JB Bickerstaff has a great argument, but I’d have to give Coach of the Year to Kenny Atkinson at this point. What a job he’s done.
