Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for November 18th, 2024. Coming up, the Cavs are still undefeated. We had a couple of game winners over the weekend. We take a little look at some stuff and ask if it's something, nothing, or everything. And we look ahead at the big NBA Cup matchups for this week. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena.
Good morning, S. Good morning, 15-0 Cleveland Cavaliers. They said it couldn't be done, guys. They said, no, they didn't. No one ever said that. This is the best story in basketball. The Cleveland Cavaliers, they beat the frisky Charlotte Hornets, who had a big win over the Bucs. over the weekend to move to 15-0. Hey, it was not an easy game for the Cavs. They didn't have Donovan Mitchell.
You know, they had to scrap and fight there down at the end, but they did pull it off. Guys, every single team that has started 15-0 has made the NBA Finals. What do you think about that, S?
Yeah, you guys remember the 1949 Washington Capitals?
I love that.
I had season tickets, actually. You guys probably believe that, right? Unfortunately, lost to the Los Angeles or Minneapolis Lakers at that point. 1994 Houston Rockets, they made it to the finals, beat the Knicks that year. And then the 2016 Warriors, they actually went 24-0. So they're the only team that has exceeded 15-0. Maybe that means Cavs, Celtics on Tuesday night, a chance at history.
Yeah.
They'll be the only other team, right?
Yeah, and the teams that you mentioned, look, that 94, I don't actually know anything about that 49 Washington Capitals team, but that 94 Rockets team, right, is Hakeem Olajuwon. You had a great interior presence. You had a lot of good guard play. That Warriors team, right, had a great defense. You had Steph Curry. You know, obviously that team is in our recent memory.
