At PwC, we build for what's next. So you can get there now. So you can protect what you built. So you can create new value. PwC. So you can. PwC refers to the PwC network and or one or more of its member firms, each of which is a separate legal entity.
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for November 14th, 2024. Coming up, Wimby scored 50, Giannis scored 59, the Wolves are having some serious problems, and the Cleveland Cavaliers move to 13-0. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Wow. Another crazy night. Although after the NBA Cup night, S, I really think we need like a little bit of a cool down night. Yeah.
The games were so intense. Well, don't worry. Thursday will be a cool down. One single game. That's right. One game on Thursday. Before we get started, a little bit of news. We got an update from the Spurs on head coach Greg Popovich, the greatest coach of all time. He suffered a mild stroke. That's how they're describing it.
On November 2nd, apparently he is recovering well, and so that's good to know. Absolutely. I read today that there were some reports that he's watching games and that he's asking why they're turning the ball over so much. So that's good to hear.
And on a personal note, I probably wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for Greg Popovich, the, the beautiful basketball Spurs 2014, 2015 kind of inspired me to, to do a lot of things and, and kind of aim in the NBA direction. So I don't wind up meeting the people that put me in the chair to sit here if it didn't for, for that team and Greg Popovich.
So my own personal, please get well, I would like to see this guy keep coaching. Um, and come back soon. But normally we would start this with the Cavs. They just went 13-0. They beat the Sixers. The Sixers, of course, shorthanded. No Joel Embiid, no Paul George because of the back-to-back because that's just how this season is going to go for the Sixers.
But we actually decided we would just wait a day. We're going to have Carter Rodriguez from the Chase Down pod. He's going to come on with me and Zena tomorrow, and we're going to do a little bit of a deeper dive into that 13-0 start. Not a lot of teams ask that go 13 and 0 that don't make some noise in the playoffs.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, this is the sixth team in NBA history to get to this point. We've we've talked ad nauseum of like how good they've been and what they've been able to do. It's just exciting that they've got to this level. And they also doing it with a couple of like injuries, right? Like Mobley had an illness tonight, still played. Allen was dealing with the leg thing.
And so like the fact that they can battle and still get to this level, really impressive stuff.
