All right, Adam, the Cavaliers move to 12 and O on the season after beating the Bulls on Monday night, Darius Garland took over late in the game coming up.

They got the Sixers on Wednesday, the Bulls again on Friday, the Hornets on Sunday and then next Tuesday they face the Boston Celtics in Boston.

Are they gonna be 15 and oh, heading into that Boston matchup one week from today, man.

Some of those or any of those back to backs that you just rattled off every other day.

Wednesday, Sixers, Friday Bulls Hornets, Sunday and then Tuesday, Boston.

So every other day, Hornets looks like a trap game because I actually think the Hornets are a tough team to play against.

Uh, and that's the one right before the marquee game, so that they're so fun.

I think they're the most actually for me.

They really, I mean, talk about, I mean, Charles Lee coming from Boston installing a brand new system in that hornets' offense.

They've been tremendous to watch fun every night.

One of the best announcers in basketball calling their games games.

I lo I, I love watching Charlotte, but yes, that could be the trap game.

I agree.

That's the one that I look at.

But I, I'll go ahead and say no, they'll go into that game undefeated and, and that would set up a real, I mean, they've had some tests.

Right.

It's not like they've had a bunch of cupcakes.

They've won some big games.

They beat the Knicks in a, in a, a dogfight.

They beat the Warriors, they smack the Warriors like they have some good wins under the belt.

But that one to me would be the ultimate test, uh, for them.

And I hope it, I hope they arrive in Boston undefeated.

I hope so too.

I mean, I, I think it's a, first of all, it's Tuesday is going to be the day where the NBA Cup is playing their group play game.

So the game does have a slightly elevated importance depending on how you feel about the NBA Cup at, at a minimum.

The court will be different, but it's also Boston Cleveland.

And if that game can take on even greater importance with an undefeated team going into Boston having some of these games during the long regular season, especially this time of year in the, you know, middle of November and make them feel like they matter even more.

That's what we need as NBA fans, right.
