The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t suck
Last week: Won their 9th game in a row
Shaq might think the Cavs pre-game intro sucks but the team sure as hell doesn’t. The Cavs are on their way to set a franchise record in wins, as they currently have 57 wins. Lebron James was named last week’s Player of the Week for the East and the Cavs still only hold 1 loss at home. The Cavs continued their home dominance last week knocking off the Knicks, Magic, Blazers and the Hawks. A fun fact about the Cavs: they’re15-2 on the second game of back to backs, that’s impressive.
