The Cavaliers have a 15-2 record since 2024, and the Cavaliers have won eight in a row and now have the league's longest six-game winning streak in five years9.7 billion Garland and 5 years 1The 6.3 billion Mitchell forms the strongest backcourt in the league, the Cavaliers start the strongest in the league, the Cavaliers' defensive ability is underestimated, and the Cavaliers are also expected to become a dark horse team to compete for the championship.
The Cavaliers backcourt is 5 years 16.3 billion Mitchell and 5 years 19.7 billion Garland, which is the shortest backcourt double gun in the league, Mitchell 191, Garland 185; They are also the most impactful backcourt duo, with Mitchell just named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in January, the second Cavaliers player of the month after James won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month 26 times, and Garland is integrating into the team in a new way after returning from injury.
Under Mitchell's leadership, the Cavaliers have a 14-1 record in their last 15 games, which also equals the team's record for the best record of 15 consecutive games in franchise history, and the Cavaliers will face the Wizards on the road on February 8, and the Cavaliers are expected to win and set a record for the best record in franchise history.
Mitchell can get 28 in January6 points 52 rebounds 76 assists, which is the data obtained when Garland was absent from Mitchell, Mitchell made a total of 273 shots in January, including 126 three-point shots, and in the absence of Garland and Mobley, Mitchell carried the team forward, and in January the Cavaliers ranked third in the league in three-point shooting, ranking seventh in the league in points per game.
The Cavaliers' current three-point shooting is completely crazy, and the Cavaliers made a total of 23 three-pointers in the last game against the Kings, almost breaking the Cavaliers' all-time record of 25 three-pointers in a single game.
The Cavaliers have had a great run in Garland and Mobley's absence, and now that Garland and Mobley are back injury-free, they are even stronger.
Some people think that Mitchell and Garland are not compatible, but in Mitchell's opinion, this is not a problem, and Garland is averaging 28 per game this season in Mitchell's absence6 points 33 rebounds and 5With 7 assists, he shot 50% from the field and 40% from three-point range, and Mitchell played well and won the best of the month when Garland was out, and in Mitchell's opinion, he could play more off-ball for Garland to organize.
Now that the NBA's shortest two guns have been combined, if Mitchell and Garland can better distribute the ball, they can produce 1+1>2 power and lead the Cavaliers to continue the Northern Expedition.
The Cavaliers signed Strus for four years and 62.3 million last summer, and the team's weakest position has been strengthened, and Strus can get 123 points, 5 rebounds, 37 assists, offensive efficiency +87 ranked 30th in the league.
Strus took on the outside defensive task, which is why the Cavaliers recruited him, the Cavaliers lineup has Mitchell and Garland on the outside, and Allen and Mobley on the inside, according to the barrel theory, the small forward is the weakest position of the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers are now strengthening the No. 3 lineup.
The Cavaliers' defense was also ignored, with the Cavaliers defending an efficiency of 1106 ranks third in the league and limits opponents to 35 three-point shootingThe 5% rank 8th in the league, and that's based on Mobley's 25 appearances for the team.
The biggest advantage of Mobley as an interior line is that he can fill the position quickly, he can defend the opponent's small player when changing defenses, so Allen defends the inside to collect rebounds, Mobley interferes with the opponent's shooting on the outside, so that the Cavaliers' defensive area will expand and it will be difficult for the opponent to get good shooting opportunities.
The Cavaliers' interior twin towers Allen and Mobley both have excellent movement ability, and Strus is also a good one-man defense, so the Cavaliers' defense still has the strength to improve.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup has no shortcomings, it is the most balanced in the league, the Cavaliers' defense still has the possibility of improving, and the Cavaliers are a neglected dark horse team, and they also have the strength to win the championship.
In the Eastern team, the Celtics have a strong starter and a weak bench, and the Bucks are also facing the same problem, the Knicks are balanced but not very strong in average starters, and the Cavaliers are not only strong in the starting lineup, but also have the best bench depth. Otherwise, the Cavaliers won't have a 15-2 record in 2024 in the absence of Mobley and Garland, during which Okoro, Wade, LeVert, Meryl, Niang and others have played well.
LeVert is the Cavaliers' sixth man, and he also has excellent scoring ability, and LeVert is very well-rounded and can also be a playmaker for the team, and he is averaging 4. per game this season2 assists ranked 61st in the league.
Okoro is the No. 5 pick in 2020 and has been the starting small forward for the Cavaliers in the past, and Okoro was reduced to a bench because of his poor three-point ability, and Okoro is averaging 09 three-pointers, and the three-point shooting percentage also reached 38At 5 percent, Okoro, who has a team manager who thinks his three-point ability has improved, can get an average salary of $14 million.
Merrill has been the Cavaliers' biggest pick this season, scoring 85 points 1He had six assists and shot 44 on 81-of-183 three-point shooting3%, he is the Cavaliers' most consistent three-point shooter.
The Cavaliers bench not only has a lot of people playing but also has its own characteristics, and the strength of the Cavaliers bench is also the best in the league, and the Cavaliers have the best bench depth in the league.
It is expected that the Cavaliers will not make a trade to change the team's roster, and now the Cavaliers need Garland and Mitchell to establish a better understanding and let Mobley and Allan do a good job defensively, so that the Cavaliers can improve on both offensive and defensive ends, and the Cavaliers will naturally perform better.
The Cavaliers are a neglected team right now, and Mitchell is also a neglected player, and they're going to stir things up in the East. I have to say that the Green Army Bucks have to be careful, unlike the 76ers Knicks, the Cavaliers are strong and armed to the teeth, they have the potential to become the big dark horses in the East, don't underestimate them. Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a review**.
