What was considered a “feces show” early in January has now become a show of dominance by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
With LeBron James looking renewed since taking a couple of weeks off to rest his sore knees, the Cavaliers have ripped 12 consecutive victories after dismantling the Los Angeles Clippers 105-94 at home on Thursday. The final score was not indicative of what happened, as the Cavaliers led by as many as 32 points in the third quarter to allow the starters to take a seat for the remainder of the contest.
With the impressive victory, Cleveland moved ahead of the Chicago Bulls as the best team in the Central Division by 1/2 game. That’s a far cry from where the team was a month ago, when they were below .500 and everything just seemed off.
Dan Le Batard, who has been critical of the Cavaliers’ situation all season long, finally had something good to say:
Cavs have 65 at half against Clippers. Kyrie doesn’t have a basket. When LeBron gets fixed, everything gets fixed.

Can’t argue against the notion that everything gets fixed when James gets fixed, unless you are his hairline.
