The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to roll.
Kenny Atkinson’s team is still the best in the entire league.
Their 12-0 record is the best by a significant margin, and it’s not like they’re barely winning games; they’re dominating.
With that in mind, dozens of fans rallied on social media to react to this impressive start to the season in a post shared by the NBA on ESPN.

The Cavaliers are just the eighth team in NBA history to start a season with 12 wins and no losses.
Some people thought this start to the season was a fluke.
But even if the schedule hasn’t been as tough as other teams, no team wins 12 games merely because of luck and chance.
The Cavaliers are playing elite defense and even better offense, and their players are meshing perfectly.
Ty Jerome has emerged as a key contributor off the bench, giving them another scoring punch and playmaker for their second unit.
The best part is that Max Strus hasn’t even been on the court yet because of an injury.
The starters are also playing at a superlative level.
Donovan Mitchell doesn’t need to do all the heavy lifting because everybody else is chipping in, with Darius Garland and Evan Mobley being more aggressive on offense.
It’s still early, and a lot could happen, but the Cavaliers seem to be a legitimate NBA championship contender for the first time since LeBron James left.
