Cleveland Cavaliers 15-10

Last week: 3-1


Lebron is starting to figure out his new team and that is very bad for the rest of the NBA. After a expected slow star the Cavs have won eight of their past element and are on a roll.  They just manhandled Memphis 105-91,who has been the best team in the league so far. Their offensive rhythm and effectiveness has increased as their offensive rating of 111.2 is good for fourth in the league. The new big three of Irving, Love and Lebron is  combining for just over 60 points a game.

Rookie Head Coach has stressed the importance of defence and they will need to improve on their defensive rating of 108.0. That rating places them at 24th in league. No one wants to face this team, and I am expecting them to climb the power rankings very fast.

Next: No.11
