The Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as the frontrunners in the NBA for the 2024-25 season, boasting a remarkable 29-4 record that places them atop the Eastern Conference. Despite their impressive performance, skepticism remains regarding their status as genuine title contenders.
Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley recently acknowledged his previous doubts about the Cavaliers, expressing his newfound belief in the team's capabilities. Barkley's admission highlights a growing recognition of the Cavaliers' strength, especially as they ride an impressive eight-game winning streak, having won nine of their last ten games.
In recognition of their success, both Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson and Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault have been awarded the NBA Coaches of the Month for December, further underscoring the Cavaliers' strong performance this season.
