The Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off winning their first NBA Championship, are off to their best start since the 2000-01 season. The Cavs are 6-0 and can make the case for being the best team in the NBA right now, especially with how up-and-down the Golden State Warriors have looked thus far.

Perhaps most interestingly, the Cavs don’t look like a total train-wreck when LeBron James isn’t in the game. And that’s quite the development, considering that this year more than ever LeBron was going to need his teammates to step up in a big way.

So far, so good. This is definitely a great sign for this team moving forward.
