Last night’s crushing of the Sonics at The Q was the Cavs third victory, and all three have been methodical, systematic, destructions. That is a big step for the Cavs.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like when the Cavs won a game in the last few years, it was because of a big flashy performance, or a close game that pivoted on a big play, big shot, big defensive stand. The Cavs first three victories of the season are studies in total, unassuming, domination. They are becoming a machine. Their losses, road games against the Spurs and Grizzlies, were largely because they shot poorly, played bad defense, and didn’t bring enough energy. All symptoms of a team still trying to gel.
It will be interesting to see how they play against the Grizzlies at home on Friday. I’m gonna guess that the machine shows up.
