The Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling, even if they have made a massive change recently. With James Harden in the fold, it appears that the team is doing much better, as they have a healthy playmaker leading the way on offense.

Harden feels at home with the Cavaliers, which is a good sign of what is to come for Cleveland. He has been a helpful piece for the Cavaliers in his short stint so far, which should be quite promising for their goals of making it far in the postseason.

Harden is ecstatic to keep playing for the Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have only played two games with Harden in the lineup, but they look great with the former MVP. He had a near triple-double on Monday against the Denver Nuggets with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists.

Donovan Mitchell was once again the standout with 32 points and 10 assists. However, Harden also got the most out of Jarrett Allen, who had a monstrous 22 points and 13 rebounds. Harden always gets the most out of his big men, and Allen is not an exception.

While he is a new player on the Cavaliers roster, Harden looks like he is at home. Before the season started, Cleveland was projected as a title contender.

Now that Harden is with this team, they could possibly get over the hump. The Cavaliers have had a tough season, but recent weeks have shown they could meet the preseason expectations.

«We found a way to get it done. This team has a lot of unselfish guys. Donovan gave me the ball multiple times down the stretch and trusted me to make a play. A great group of guys. I’m happy to be a part of it,» Harden said after beating the Nuggets.

Moving forward, Harden should find his footing in Cleveland. It will be one of the toughest matchups for most teams, as the Cavaliers are ready to meet those title-contender expectations.
