Kenny Atkinson from Cavs: We don't talk about our record

It is great for fans and the organization as a whole. But as for the Cavs themselves? Well, you have bigger fish for roasting.

However, when the season ended at that moment, the cavs of No. 1 would be. Not only in the Eastern Conference, but also in the entire playoffs. So if you reached the final, you would also have the home place there.

But hey, there are 20 games. It is too early for this conversation. And if it is time, this conversation will probably still not be managed by the cavaliers.

“We are aware of it, but it is not a topic of conversation,” said coach Kenny Atkinson before the game on Sunday. “We are extremely process -oriented. For example, I'm not talking about winning. “

Atkinson then broke out a line from the legendary former NFL coach Bill Walsh.

“The results take care of themselves,” said Atkinson. “The results happen because these boys do what we emphasize.”

This does not mean that the cavs do not have the playoffs in their sights and in their heads. At least these thoughts linger.

“At the moment there is a feeling of urgency,” said Atkinson. “Our playoff focus is now, our playoff preparation begins now. Maybe other teams can take their foot off the gas. We can't. “

The Cavs had entered nine in a row on Sunday. After the Trail Blazers, visit the Chicago Bulls (on Tuesday) before accommodating the Miami Heat the next evening.
