12-0. Cleveland still gets disrespected

[Itsalwayscloudyincleveland]

You know the Cavs are for real based on all the trolling from casuals in these comments lol. Like if their favorite team was 12-0 they wouldn't be considering them a real contender.

Its very clear reading some of these Cavs related comments, that a lot of these critics havent actually watched them play this season. There's a huge difference between this team, and JBs Cavs team. Huge! How they are playing and what they are doing under Atkinson, is a lot more sustainable than anything JB Bickerstaff showed. Cavs got outcoached both years in the playoff with JB..

The land we stand lets gooo!!!! If u from 216 tap in

Give Cavs some respect, they could be a dark horse this year! Spida Michell is finally showing up alongside all of the team, but the real praise is Kenny Atkinson, the brother is the reason why they're undefeated and his skill is what made the Cavs survived close games that almost could have been loses like in NY, Brooklyn and Chicago recently. That brother deserves a coaching job and I'm happy that he has one with Cleveland.

I'm a Celtics fan and I'ma tell you I got a lot of respect for the Cavs them bigs are a problem

Cleveland out there playing like 2010’s basketball. A real PG SG SF PF C. ❄️❄️

[Binnieishere]

The fact that it says 11-0 not only on the title, but description as well just shows how badly ESPN is going down. LOL

[Wisestomatoe]

I would love to see Cleveland win another chip

[SquidysTents]

Perk always bringing up Tristan Thompson as an impact bench warmer gets me every time 😭

[DarthDovaxX]

Cavs built this team wonderfully….Excited to see what they can do in the postseason

[Mouckets]

Make sure y’all save this clip, before the season is over he will be calling them frauds

[robmangeri]

In Cleveland we are used to disrespect and being overlooked. Cleveland vs the world! Let’s Go Cavs!!!!

[just__mackie]

ESPN talk about the Lakers every day but won’t talk about a team that’s 12-0

[leeorharari]

Perk is the same guy that said they need to trade Mitchell or garland because they don’t fit

[SoulSearchin]

Cavs Finally getting the respect they deserve ‼️👏🏾👏🏾

[Seryma]

Lol people saying it doesn’t matter are right in that it’s early and it’s regular season. With that said, this Cavs team could beat anyone in the league (including celts) in a 7 game series when they’re playing at their best

[Slucee]

My Cle Cavaliers, the training camp of the NBA. Shout out to this Dynamic squad. No matter what happens I’m here for it✅

[CoreyThinkin]

JB Bickerstaff wanted the backcourt pairing of Don and Darius to work as if they were both floor generals at different stints. When Don sat down, it was DG time, and vice versa. Now we see that the flow of the game can run through them and the others all at once.

[Poppi-Poppa-Socky]

Well with this current roster they've always been good. The problem is the last few years they never have their full team due to injury. Give it time, they will start dropping like flies like they always do. Garland will get hurt per usual, then Mobley, then Allen, and then it will be back to the same injury depleted Cavs that we are used to and they will be out of the discussion again as a serious threat.
