00:00The best team in the NBA continues to be the best and perfect at that.

00:08The Cleveland Cavaliers are now 12-0 after a six-point win yesterday in the Windy City

00:14against the Chicago Bulls.

00:16Now the Cavaliers are 12-0.

00:18Last night an eight-point favorite.

00:19They did not cover the number, but they have covered an eight of 12 games.

00:23They have scored at least 110 points in 11 of those 12 victories.

00:28And more than anything though, Joe, they are perfect, unblemished, undefeated at 12-0

00:34with first-year head coach in the land, Kenny Atkinson.

00:37The Cavaliers, the lone undefeated team remaining in the NBA.

00:44And impressively too, Ben.

00:46I mean, Donovan Mitchell, I think at a season high 36, he's been a PRA machine.

00:51Mobley has been a double-double machine.

00:54Garland also, I think dropped 17 last night.

00:58So they're getting contributions up and down the starting rotation, not to mention the

01:03bench players here.

01:05This is a impressive effort here now for the Cavs, but like you said earlier, okay, great.

01:12But you've always been a good regular season team.

01:15Have they not been?

01:16The question and this season will all depend on what happens come June.

01:22That's the only thing that's going to matter with Cleveland, but great start to the season.

01:26If they can stay healthy, they're going to wrap up a ton of wins this year.

01:30Yeah, absolutely.

01:32So Joe, they are, they have been a good regular season team.

01:36They have been bounced though in the post season, the last few years, rather abruptly

01:40with JB Bickerstaff, new head coach and Kenny Atkinson.

01:43And of course the Cavs off to a great start this season.

01:48Still last night did stay under despite both teams scoring 113 plus, it was 237, just the

01:54fourth under in those 12 wins for the Cavaliers this season.

01:59First game for OKC without Chet Holmgren and a lot of scoring last night in Oklahoma City.

02:05The Thunder do win 134, or yeah, 134-128 against LA.

02:11The Crippers do cover as a slight six and a half point road dog, courtesy of the hook

02:16218 and a hook was the total.

02:19It skies over.

02:20No Chet Holmgren, Shea Gilges Alexander steps up in a large way.

02:26In fact, a career best way, his career high, 45 points to lead the Thunder to a victory.

02:31Yeah, 13 of 21 from the field, 15 of 16 from the free throw line here, but two totally

02:39different teams.

02:40Now you're going to see, they say Chet is at what, eight weeks, so at least a couple

02:44of months.

02:46OKC prior to that going out was the number one rated defensive team in the NBA.

02:51Good luck trying to score a hundred points on them.

02:54But now they have to play totally different.

02:56They got to go smaller.

02:57They're going to go more up tempo.

02:59There are going to be a lot more points in OKC games than what we got so far this season

03:05because that defense looks totally different now.
