The Cleveland Cavaliers are feeling unstoppable and it’s unlikely because the Cavs have Tristan Thompson on the roster. The veteran big man barely gets playing time in the 2024-25 NBA regular season and when he does, he doesn’t provide great numbers either.
However, that doesn’t mean he can’t celebrate the Cavs winning their 13th win in a row to start the season after Cleveland took down the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center in Philly.
After the win over the Sixers, Thompson hopped on his phone and posted a photo showing him in a Cavaliers No. 13 jersey with an added “-0” to signify Cleveland’s improved record.

Fans are not feeling it, though, as they used his post as a hint to make up all sorts of jokes and blunt comments. Here are some of them:
“You are the Cavs best assistant coach!”
“The 0 could be for the minutes you’ve played as well. 🤣🤣🤣”
“You been waiting all day for this lol. My guy”
“That one dude who does nothing but show up in the group project.”
“Do they wash your jerseys even when you don’t play?”
“more wins than your points this season”
“Damn now they will lose next game”
The Cavs just keep on winning
The Cavaliers got some major resistance from Philadelphia despite the Sixers missing superstars Paul George and Joel Embiid, but Cleveland came through with a 114-106 victory.
Darius Garland led the Cavaliers with 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting from the floor while Donovan Mitchell added 23 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. As for Thompson, the 33-year-old center warmed the bench all night with zero seconds of playing time.
Cleveland will aim for win no. 14 this coming Friday when they host the Chicago Bulls for an NBA Cup game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
