Welcome on, everyone, to a East version of however many teams we get through before I have to go to the game tonight, and however many minutes we have before I have to go to the game tonight.

Let's get right to it here, Mr. Feldman, with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland is 54 and 10, 14 and 1 since the last 15 and 60. Their net rating of plus

11.8.8 is second in the NBA, first and offensive rating, seventh and defensive rating,

projected record of 68 and 14. They're going to make the playoffs. Yeah, and that has them going

14 and 4 the rest of the way. Maybe the one thing that could have them running through the tape, although this is a group that has succeeded even when they've had guys out this year because of the depth that they've cultivated.

But they'll also be fighting with the thunder over the potential home court advantage in the Western Conference playoffs.

Or sorry, not in the NBA finals, excuse me.

The Cavs have won 14 consecutive games, that 14 and 1, and they added, of course,

DeAndre Hunter at the deadline.

And so I wanted to take a look, given the fact that Hunter famously closed their comeback

victory over the Celtics, admittedly a Celtics team

that was not with their full compliment.

And Hunter has been closed more games.

Jared Allen didn't play in the last 18 minutes or so of that Celtics game.

So let's take a look at some of the numbers.

First, their preferred lineup for me, at least before the trade deadline, included Mowgli and Allen.

And one of the reasons that I've been so impressed by them is that they are outstanding with both those guys on the floor offensively.

Over a 122 offensive rating with Mowgli and Allen, too, and Mowgli can shoot a little bit more now.

He certainly has improved offensively.

We've talked about that a lot.

But you still have two relatively below average shooters as bigs.
