But the quotable center didn’t stop there. After the Cavs beat the New Orleans Pelicans 128-100, improving after an incredible 15-0 start on the regular season, The Plain Dealer’s Chris Fedor asked an important question.</p><p>What’s the secret sauce? He was <a href="https://x.com/RealDCunningham/status/1860381243956732130" rel="noopener">asked</a>, per Locked on Cavs’ Danny Cunningham.</p><p>“Jarrett Allen, without thinking: “Bolognese,” Cunningham reported.</p><p>It is an intriguing way to metaphorically describe the Cavs’ historic start to the 2024-25 campaign, and without an explanation, it makes it even better. Allen’s double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds) performance was one of six Cavs players to score in double figures, and Cleveland dominated New Orleans en route to a whopping 28-point victory.</p><p>Ty Jerome’s team-high 29 points, including seven threes, was an incredible display of offense as All-Star Donovan Mitchell seemingly took a backseat with ten points. Jaylon Tyson (16 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists) flirted with a triple-double, and Georges Niang (20 points) led the second unit. He connected on 6-of-12 from behind the 3-point arc as the Cavs shot at a 52.7% clip, including 18-of-42 from deep.</p><h2><b>Jarrett Allen’s unique reasoning behind Cavs love</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.cavsnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cavs-center-Jarrett-Allen_a9b946.jpg"><figcaption>Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Cleveland Cavs center <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-news-jarrett-allen-goes-viral-after-mean-poster-dunk-vs-pelicans" rel="noopener">Jarrett Allen posterized Jamal Cain</a> in his latest win, and it was one of the best dunks of the NBA’s 2024-25 campaign. However, Allen loves playing for Cleveland because whether you’re a team the league is constantly talking about or irrelevant with the league’s elite, Cavs fans show support either way.</p><p>“The thing about Cleveland is, and I’m not even trying to hype it up just because I live there, it’s genuinely such a nice city with great people who, like you said, truly love sports,” Allen said. “You could be 0-15, and people are still going to show up and sell out games for anybody. It’s just that kind of pride and loyalty.”</p><p>Despite the Cavs’ 120-117 loss to the champion Celtics, expectations remain high for Allen. With the guidance of the Cavs’ first-year head coach, Kenny Atkinson, and a healthy starting lineup with a reliable, productive bench, Allen <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/jarrett-allen-interview-15-0-start-donovan-mitchell-kenny-atkinson-conference-finals-expectations/" rel="noopener">told</a> HoopsHype’s Michael Sotto he has eyes on the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals.</p><p>“We want to make it to the Conference Finals. I think that’s the expectation for everybody around the league,” Allen said. “Put the floor there. I think we’re a good enough team that if we play consistent enough, our bench is deep enough, and we have our starting lineup that’s pretty good.”</p><p>The Cavs will host the Raptors on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But the most interesting portion of the show may have been when Jarrett Allen shared perspective that only he and Caris LeVert have about his new head coach, Kenny Atkinson, who was also his old head coach.</p><p>Both players were on the Brooklyn Nets when the team made its <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-dangelo-russell-jared-dudley-react-to-kenny-atkinsons-departure-from-brooklyn">Cinderella-style run to the NBA Playoffs</a>. That team’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-video-brooklyn-bench-shows-hilarious-dance-reaction-demarre-carroll-3-pointer">signature dance celebration</a> was born in March 2019, which feels like much more than five years ago. But both LeVert and Allen were coached by Atkinson before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cavs-news-land-ex-warriors-kenny-atkinson-as-next-head-coach">reuniting with him this past offseason</a> in Cleveland. And Allen shared on the show that things aren’t the same with the Cavs as they were with the Nets.</p><p>“He’s more relaxed, I think that was his first head coaching job at Brooklyn you know and it’s like it’s a hard job,” Allen said. “I understand that now that after Brooklyn he went to the Clippers, then he went to Golden State and he was just getting so much more experience. Probably just his confidence and trust in his ideas to propel us forward, it’s a noticeable difference.”</p><h2><b>Kenny Atkinson is helping Jarrett Allen and the Cavaliers succeed</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jarrett-Allen-Kenny-Atkinson-Brooklyn.jpg"><figcaption>Andy Marlin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Allen also spoke on key traits of Atkinson’s that have not changed over the years.</p><p>“Kenny is just a good dude. Whenever we do a film session we always start with something funny,” Allen said. “Like whether it’s a play that happened in the game, or whether it’s making fun of one of our teammates we always start with something funny to get everybody to laugh and that just makes everything so much easier going forward. The basketball side it’s just, he’s a genius on that side.”</p><p>Atkinson and the Cavaliers are off to a red-hot 16-1 start. Their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cavs-news-cleveland-championship-contender-celtics-loss">only loss was to the NBA’s defending champions</a>. And Atkinson’s coaching has been a driving factor of that success. Atkinson has <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-news-evan-mobley-message-doubters-celtics" rel="noopener">simultaneously prioritized winning and the development of Evan Mobley</a>. And the additional offensive responsibility for Mobley has opened the door for players like Allen to play more specialized roles.</p><p>The center is averaging 14.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. But the statistical comparisons to last season are most interesting. Sure, Allen is only averaging 2/3 of the assists. But he’s also only averaging about 68% of the turnovers. He’s taking two fewer shots per game but making 5.1% more of his attempts. 63.4% was good. 68.5% on a still-decent 8.4 shots per game is great.</p><p>Atkinson and his Cavs are benefitting from winning taking care of everything. There’s nothing to question about a 16-1 team. Besides, of course, wondering whether or not they can sustain the success. There’s only one way to find out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is a longtime NBA fan who believes LeBron James is the GOAT.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Cavs News</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>So far in his career, <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-news-jarrett-allen-goes-viral-after-mean-poster-dunk-vs-pelicans">Jarrett Allen has become a cornerstone</a> of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ defense, their interior anchor that turned them into one of the league’s elite defenses. Additionally, the big man’s major contribution to NBA Twitter is the terrific meme of him saying, “The lights were brighter than expected,” after their first-round playoff loss to the New York Knicks two seasons ago. Looking back on the “bright lights” playoffs meme now, Jarrett Allen maintained good humor.</p><p>“When I look back on my career, I know I had my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCpoAHRyoM2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" rel="noopener">one shining moment</a>,” Allen said in his appearance on “The Young Man and the Three” podcast, again captured in another Bleacher Report quote meme shared on their official Instagram.</p><h2><b>Are the lights still too bright for the Cavaliers?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.cavsnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jarrett-Allen-dunking.jpg"><figcaption>© Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When Jarrett Allen said the memed quote about the lights being too bright in the playoffs, the Cavaliers had just returned to the postseason for the first time since LeBron James signed with the Lakers.</p><p>Moreover, only star guard Donovan Mitchell had the playoff experience necessary to manufacture wins in the postseason, when the game slows down, defenses become tougher, and teams play more physically.</p><p>As expected, Allen and Mobley disappeared from that first-round series against the Knicks. Allen <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/jarrett-allen-playoff-stats-2023" rel="noopener">averaged only</a> 9.4 points and 7.4 rebounds, while Mobley put up 14.2 points and 9.5 rebounds.</p><p>The physicality and experience of Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, Josh Hart, and Jalen Brunson proved too much for the young Cavs, making short work of them in five games.</p><p>However, the team regrouped, and in 2024, the Cavs won their first playoff series in the post-LeBron era by beating the Orlando Magic in a tough seven-game series.</p><p>They lost in five games to the Boston Celtics in the second round, but losing to the eventual champions should only teach them more lessons about how to play championship-level basketball throughout the postseason.</p><h2><b>A different team?</b></h2><p>This season, the Cavs are definitely a more dangerous team, <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/jarrett-allens-91-million-extension-has-cavs-fans-buzzing">having extended Jarrett Allen</a>, Mitchell, and Mobley to long-term contracts and filled out the team with valuable role players like Caris LeVert.</p><p>So far, the Cavaliers’ historic 15-0 start has made waves around the league, though some still remain skeptical. For instance, <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-news-chandler-parsons-pumps-the-brakes-clevelands-hot-start">Chandler Parsons believed the Cavs’ soft schedule</a> played a part in their undefeated streak.</p><p>True enough, the <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/cavs-news-evan-mobley-makes-confident-declaration-after-celtics-loss">Celtics handed the Cavs their first loss</a> of the season, which may cast some doubt about their ability to beat the defending champions.</p><p>Despite the loss, though, the Celtics didn’t blow them out of the water. Instead, the Cavs rallied from 21 down to make things interesting for Boston, and they ended up relying on Jayson Tatum to pull out the win.</p><p>Perhaps this is the main gap separating the two teams. As of their last matchup, Tatum is the superior closer, though Mitchell has also proven his clutch-ness.</p><p>However, “Spida” may have to reach another gear to lead his team to a title, just like LeBron James did several times before him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cavs wasted no time getting back to winning ways, beating up on an extremely shorthanded Pelicans team in a 128-100 win.</p><p>The Cavs were so dominant on the night that the likes of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen played in only 20, 18, and 21 minutes, respectively, and they still had the game wrapped up by the end of the third quarter. But this did not mean that none of the active members of the team’s core four had their moments to shine. In particular, Allen, in the first quarter, put Pelicans forward Jamal Cain on a <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1859402717992821057" rel="noopener">poster after a great pocket pass</a> from Craig Porter Jr.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jarrett Allen with AUTHORITY. 😤</p><p>CLE-NOP | NBA League Pass <br>📲 <a href="https://t.co/rMsh5hG7U7">https://t.co/rMsh5hG7U7</a> <a href="https://t.co/JBYkZBIEWB">pic.twitter.com/JBYkZBIEWB</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1859402717992821057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 21, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">THIS POSTER 😳 <a href="https://t.co/BhJ94ZJCXh">https://t.co/BhJ94ZJCXh</a> <a href="https://t.co/dScNgf9EaP">pic.twitter.com/dScNgf9EaP</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1859403443774898429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 21, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>That jam looked it like it meant something extra for Allen; as one would recall, this past offseason, the Pelicans were reportedly among his <a href="https://cavsnation.com/news/nba-rumors-cavs-have-donovan-mitchell-reason-not-trade-jarrett-allen">biggest suitors on the trade market</a>. But the Cavs decided to hold on to their core, and it’s paying off big time — as seen in Allen’s ferocious slam.</p><p>Allen finished the night with 16 points on a perfect 7-7 shooting from the field, as he was one of six Cavs players to finish the night with double-digits in scoring.</p><h2><b>Cavs flex on the Pelicans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.cavsnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cavaliers-center-Jarrett-Allen-31-dunks.jpg"></figure><p>The Pelicans deserve some credit for not getting blown out straight from the jump considering all their team’s injury woes. But the Cavs have been the best team in the league thus far this season, and they showed why even though they were without Darius Garland on the night.</p><p>The Cavs’ depth has been very impressive; in particular, Ty Jerome is blossoming right in front of our very eyes. Jerome scored 29 to lead the team in scoring, and he did so on seven made threes — establishing himself more and more as a quality rotation piece with each passing game.</p><p>Rookie forward Jaylon Tyson also deserves plenty of credit for his impressive game in his first career start. Tyson tallied 16 points, 11 rebounds, and seven dimes — making his case for more minutes moving forward.</p><p>The Cavs will look to embark on another lengthy winning streak, although they will have three days of rest before they take on the Toronto Raptors at home on Sunday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
