Cleveland Cavaliers - Power Ranking

Week Rank Rating Team Record Comment

16 8 68 Cle 8-4 One of the best talent evaluators has been doing his best work this season. Shams has traded and traded and found his way to a terrific squad. He has assembled a scary mix of youth, strength, length and speed that can really matchup with anyone. The depth is their, but their best player Fox currently isnt it. I'm sure it was a really close call to trade him or not. The question is, will he return for the all important playoff run that Shams has been dreaming of all season? I hope so, because Shams is a gem.

15 5 86 Cle 10-3 "Got My Mind Set on You" by George Harrison A catchy and optimistic song about determination in love, it emphasizes the singer's unwavering intent to win the affection of a desired partner. The repetitive lyrics underscore the persistence and effort one is willing to invest to achieve romantic fulfillment. Cleveland fans wishing that Fox has stayed healthy to close the season. They have their eyes set on him and this off season.

14 3 86 Cle 10-3 3. Cleveland Cavaliers (Japan) The Cavaliers resemble Japan's 'stable economy,' with a focus on 'technological innovation' and 'efficiency' on the court, leading to consistent 'returns' on their 'investments.' Like Japan, the Cavs have experienced a slight down turn in productivity, mainly with the news of Fox, but expect them to continue to win.

13 5 75 Cle 9-4 Conrete Boots- If you get invited onto Sham's luxurious yaught, decline the invitation. You will be wined, dined and treated fine. Before you know it, you will be swimming with the fishes like a character from the Sopranos. Anchoring this killer is one of the best in the business Andre Drummond who will drag the opponent to the Ocean Floor and leave them lifeless. Not a team to be messed with, capeesh!

12 10 65 Cle 8-4 Cleveland Cavaliers - "My Sharona" – The Knack (1979) A power-pop anthem with an infectious riff. Powerful and driven, the Cavaliers are feared by most in the league. They have the ability to hurt all, and have the right mix. The Knack were unable to follow it up as a band, and their next album was a mirror of the first, the Cavs won’t have that issue with GM Shams meticulously mapping this teams progression.

11 10 62 Cle 8-4 Cleveland Cavaliers: The Lich Legion 💀⚔️ Why? The Cavaliers operate with necromantic precision, resurrecting plays from the grave and binding opponents to their will through dark, calculated execution. Their roster thrives on a core of undying dominance, surrounded by a shambling horde of relentless role players. Lich’s Phylactery (Soul Anchor): Fox is the necromantic nucleus, orchestrating the offense with cursed playmaking and clutch scoring. Death Knights (Lieutenants of Decay): Scotts Barnes and Julius Randle wield dual blades of youth and experience, slashing through defenses and anchoring the frontcourt with undying tenacity. Skeletal Swarm (Relentless Minions): Role players like Malik Beasley and Omvika Okongwu swarm opponents with undead hustle, draining morale with steals, blocks, and chaotic energy.

10 6 72 Cle 9-3 Phillip Petit (The Man who walked between the Towers) - A cavalier mindset requires daring, bravery, courage, and a mindset of immense determination. The Cleveland Cavs have proven that time and time again, and have been unwavering in their ability to swing this team to become something new and vibrant, and above all relevant in the NSL. Petit and crew disguised themselves as construction workers to set the high wire between the towers - planning meticulously and having performed the feat on Notre Dame. Caution to the wind. Dedication to the cause. And a passion for pushing the limits - GM Shams has been methodically plugging holes and building this roster. Catch them at the best and suffer their cavalier ways.

9 2 87 Cle 10-3 Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Rightful Heir to the Iron Throne, the Rightful Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, and the Breaker of Chains. I had to go with the full title for effect. Like her or not, you cannot argue with her accomplishments and the power she wielded. Unfortunately she ended up a little too much like her predecessor which evidently cost her the throne. Howver cannot argue with her accomplishments and dominance throughout Westeros.

8 2 98 Cle 11-2

7 2 100 Cle 11-2 The Fairy Godmother (Cinderella) - Cleveland - Literally bends time and space to grant wishes.GM Shams has made everything happen for this Cavaliers outfit and they have done it in style. The team is poised for a monumental season, and akin to the Fairy Godmother, they have manifested it through unwavering movement and meticulous planning. The Cavaliers are flying, and they have have cast on spell on all that have had the misfortune of facing them.

6 2 108 Cle 12-0 Dash (The Incredibles) - Youthful exuberence doesn't quite describe Dash Parr, middle child of The Incredibles family. Blessed with super speed, Dash can't be caught, stopped or even slowed down. Similar momentum and explosiveness can be found with the 2024/2025 Cavaliers, who out of nowhwere have trumpeted to the league that they are well ahead of schedule and can be a true superhero-team as soon as now. Dash isn't taken seriously by his dad or by foes until he shows what he can do, and shows he is up for the fight. Shams has always performed well as a GM, but this recent run of team building has been exceptional. He is running rings around most of us (20 win streak) and we can't see him to stop him.

5 1 109 Cle 12-0 Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) - Haunting the dreams of many, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 12-0 record. The best in the league. Don’t sleep on this team - they will make you pay - with all the weaponry, akin to Freddy, the Cavs are able to hurt teams in so many ways. You might think you have control, but you are seconds away from a deep sleep when Cleveland come; One, Two, Cleveland’s Coming For You, Three, Four, Don’t Let Them Score, Five, Six, Can’t Stop the Quicks, Nine, Ten, They Win Again

4 1 105 Cle 12-0 Aragorn - Lord of the Rings. Is there anyone more noble or worthy than Aragorn. I personally don't think so. I hope Cleveland are honoured by the comparison, but it is also well deserved. They are on a rampage to start the season and are there recent record is twelve and zero. It seems the heir to the throne of Gondor has rightfully taken his place to lead the company of men into a new age.

3 7 67 Cle 8-4 Cleveland looks like a powerhouse thus far this season, with the exception of week 1, the Cavs have looked flawless. Scottie Barnes is expected to miss time however. Will Cleveland have enough juice in the tank to compete while Scottie is out?

2 17 31 Cle 4-4 "Rolling in the Deep"- After a slow start to the year, they've been roaring back going 4-0 last week, this is one of the deepest teams in the league and they are looking good right now.

1 27 -2 Cle 0-4 No team was more unlucky in the first week of the season than Cleveland, with re-sims costing them two bigs wins against tough competition. No team is more misrepresented at 0-4 than the Cavs, who have a terrific roster with upside and current 2k impact, all throughout their depth/rotation. Watch for a big bounce back.
