Cleveland Cavaliers - Power Ranking

Week Rank Rating Team Record Comment

2 7 56 Cle 6-2 The Cavs being this good with 37-year-old Steph Curry running around is wild. Man is out here playing like the NBA is just one long episode of Grey’s Anatomy and he refuses to get written off.

1 2 40 Cle 4-0 Childhood Reference: The Kid Who Found the “Cheat Codes” in PlayStation Magazine. Every neighbourhood had that one kid who discovered some bizarre loophole: “If I jump off the slide and land on the mulch, that counts as 5 points.” That’s Cleveland right now. Stephen Curry is basically entering the Konami Code at the start of every game — threes are worth more, space bends around him, and defenders look like NPCs stuck on easy mode. Week 1 felt less like basketball and more like watching someone play with hacks on. That feeling when you pressed a sequence of buttons, and all of a sudden had the ultimate leg-up; that's the Cavs right now. Playing in their own world, and setting up a sublime 25-26, 4-0 is a perfect setup. "Did you know if you type ROSEBUD in, you get 1,000 dollars!?"
