Someone in ESPN pointed out the Cavs is having the second easiest schedule in the league in their last 15 games or so and hence the result reflected the same. Still, they are playing good and the key is they are much better in defense.
The soft schedule is just what the doctor ordered after a poor start to the season. Plus it gave the team some room to develop with the new additions and a rejuvenated LeBron. And I'm amazed that JR is playing so well, I expected the worst. He's showing flashes from his sixth man award season. Mozgov is such a difference maker for the team, the price was worth it.

Lol Lebron looks good now so people are racing to sign with him. If the Cavs were winning but LeBron was still "ehh", no one would sign there in my opinion.

From 'Fire David Blatt!", "Kevin Love is going to leave" to best team in the league. Pretty impressive. That Mozgov trade was a fantastic, underrated trade. And I guess Smith/Shumpert for Waiters And that LerBon fella going to Miami to rehab because Cleveland was 'too cold' LOL
Why on earth would anyone want Perkins at this point? Seriously. In case Mozgov gets hurt or something, you can send him in there to commit fouls I guess. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G4UYpoVX434" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
If Lebron can win with Spo, he can win with Blatt (who's a better coach than Spo). Lebron still needs to have more balance offensively (he turns the ball over at a very high rate this year) and more committed defensively. These types of games v. the Warriors are great, but he needs more consistency on both ends for the Cavs to go deep.
He shouldn't have to settle. I'm not sure I've ever seen a superstar have such a ****ty string of head coaches. Nothing has ever come easy for LeBron on either side of the court. It's almost as if ignorance is bliss for LeBron, if he knew how much easier a legitimate coach could make basketball for him it would change his perspective.
