If you think the Cleveland Cavaliers are the 2014/2015 Atlanta Hawks… you DON’T KNOW BALL
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 55-10 on the season. It’s the 7th best start in the history of the NBA. But despite that, the Cavs are still getting compared to the 2014/2015 Atlanta Hawks team that failed to reach the NBA Finals.
Is that a fair comparison?
Jason Lloyd & McNuggets are here to tell you why that’s not only an unfair comparison to both teams, but simply throwing that comp out there is an immediate giveaway that you don’t know ball.
All-Star Darius Garland scored 18 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter and the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers rallied for a 109-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night, matching the longest winning streak in franchise history at 15 games.
Jarrett Allen had 23 points and 13 rebounds, and Evan Mobley had 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists for Cleveland, which also began this season with a 15-game win streak. The Cavaliers trailed by 18 points in the third quarter.
Cleveland is 55-10 — tying the fifth-best start in NBA history — and owns the best home record in the league at 30-4. All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell (left groin soreness), forward De’Andre Hunter (illness) and guard Ty Jerome (rest) didn’t dress for the game.
Cam Thomas scored 27 points, Cameron Johnson had 17 points and Ziaire Williams added 14 before fouling out for Brooklyn. The Nets dropped five games behind Chicago for the final play-in tournament spot in the East.

Nick wright did not say the cavs were the Atlanta hawks. He said Blame the Atlanta hawks for people not believing in them the same way we DIDNT back when Atlanta and Toronto were 1 seeds. As long as we had LeBron it didn’t matter. We can’t blame the nba for telling us to Prove it.
Celtics were the #1 seed in 2016…it didnt matter
