At What Point Do We Put The 9-0 Cavs On 74-8 Best NBA Record Ever Watch?

Look I'm not one to scratch my head unless it itches, and I don't dance unless I hear music, but at what point is ESPN going to start a countdown for the date when the Cavs break the Warrior 73-9 regular season record? For the loyal listeners of the Mark Titus Show, I've been talking about it since quite literally June that the Cavs decision to fire JB Bickerstaff and retain the Core 4 (Mitchell, Garland, Mobley, and Allen) would be a problem for the rest of the East this year.....but 9 games into the season, who can blame me for setting my sights on something higher than the 3 seed?

All the talk coming into the year was how dominant the Celtics were and will continue to be, as well as the new and improved Knicks.....and the 76ers....and Giannis is back....and the Magic are improving....blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now don't get me wrong, I do think the Celtics should still be the favorites to win the East and the entire association. But that is just my opinion. If we were just sticking to facts, it could be pointed out that Boston is sitting at 7-2 through 9 games.....while the Cavs, well, let's just look at the facts:

Thank God someone with a working brain decided that Mobley and Allen / Garland and Mitchell could play together. Remember when the season ended and that was written immediately saying how we were going to blow everything up because of how upset everyone was? But now after 9 games (9 wins), what pops out at you? I'd say the fact that we've scored 110+ in all 9 games is pretty notable. Kenny Atkinson has these boys MOVING.

And again, I'm not saying we should be the favorites or anything, but what a start this has been. It had me heading over to the DraftKings Sportsbook app (#DKPartner) to check on MVP odds (Mitchell +6000), DPOY odds (Mobley +1200), COY (Atkinson leader at +310), and of course, title odds:

That's actually fucking crazy. 22 to 1? For a 9-0 team? Guys, in all seriousness, if we keep this pace up, the Cavs will finish the season 82-0. That's literally the math behind it. How could you not sprinkle a little coin on the best record through 9 games when they're paying 22 to 1? And now I'm asking myself, how many games in a row do the Cavs need to win to get their title odds below 20 to 1? 10? 15? 20? 82?

**Now, it must be noted that with this blog being written, there's about a 99% chance now the Cavs lose in the game of the week Friday night vs. the 7-1 Warriors.

Cavs vs. Warriors. Best in the East vs. Best in the West. Just like the good old days...
