The Cleveland Cavaliers have the best record in the NBA right now.
They’re riding a ten-game winning streak, and they’ve won all those games by double digits.
Even so, some still aren’t so sure about them.
That’s why Anthony Lima and Ken Carman believe they still have a steep road ahead of them.
On 92.3 The Fan, they talked about how the Cavs need to do more to prove they’re not a fluke.
"No matter how dominant we've been, I still think we have a lot to prove and maybe that's why they're not getting the love."@SportsBoyTony and @KenCarman talk about whether the #Cavs are still being overlooked despite the 31-4 record 🏀⬇️

They compared this situation to the Golden State Warriors’ winning 73 games in the regular season and setting a new record, only to lose in the NBA Finals.
Needless to say, Kenny Atkinson and company will strive to avoid that at all costs.
Ultimately, as impressive as their regular-season record is, it’s all about getting the job done when it matters most: the postseason.
Of course, getting some quality wins will also help turn the narrative around.
That’s why they must take their Wednesday matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder as a postseason contest, knowing that beating the second-best team in the league might be enough to put everybody on notice.
Still, more than half of the season is left, so they can’t afford to take their foot off the gas right now.
They must acquire depth pieces at the trade deadline to bolster their wing defense.
Other than that, they just need to keep doing what has worked perfectly for them this season.
