No, we thank you You, Ty Jerome. Thank you for your 24 points (career high) and eight assists (career high) when you started in Mitchell’s place against Charlotte. Thanks for stabilizing Cleveland’s second unit this season, which ranked seventh in bench rating entering Sunday’s game. And thanks for bringing victory to a depressed sports town that was cursing another tough loss earlier in the day.

Should we talk about it? Fine.

The Browns lost 35-14 on Sunday to a 3-7 Saints team missing its top two wide receivers. Cleveland spent seven days planning to slow down Saints tight end — slash quarterback, slash running back, slash kick returner — Taysom Hill, then failed to tackle him for three hours. Hill recorded 206 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns against Jim Schwartz’s defense (said to be the strength of Cleveland’s roster). The Browns countered with 22 first downs and 443 total yards contested by three fruitless attacks into Saints territory (two missed field goals, one fourth-quarter drive that failed). They are 2-8 after building the most expensive roster in NFL history.

Meanwhile, the Cavs are writing a new historical chapter every night. No version of this franchise has started 15-0 (or even won 15 games in a row). Only three other NBA teams have ever started this well and all made it to the NBA Finals. But let’s not ruin a good time with expectations.

Instead, take advantage of the ripples created by Atkinson’s fun, fast-paced offense, which produced four 20-point scorers for the second straight game on Sunday. Check out the stronger, more aggressive Mobley, who scored 24 points and — woah — made two more 3-pointers with 11 rebounds and one devastating block against Hornets forward Brandon Miller. Watch as Garland (25 points, 12 assists and five rebounds) channels his All-Star self again, or Allen (21 points, 15 rebounds) treats the Hornets’ frontcourt like children, or Jerome spins this impossible finish off the glass , and then try frowning about football.

You can’t do it, right? And I’ve barely mentioned the words “Donovan Mitchell.” The Cavs rested him on Sunday because they have bigger, pending plans than their franchise-record winning streak. In fact, Mitchell is playing a career-low 31.1 minutes per game, but Cleveland still can’t lose unless it plays make believe.

“After the Chicago game (Friday), I didn’t think our defense was very good, so we had a film session and we acted like it was a loss,” Atkinson said before Sunday’s game. “I don’t think the guys felt good about the way they played defense. “I think we made the game an up-and-down game and didn’t put enough emphasis on the defensive side, so we let that be known.”

The coach laughed as he explained himself, because no team has more fun than his Cavs. Even when serious matters are at stake, such as on Tuesday against the defending champion Celtics (11-3), Cleveland handles it with gusto.

Two good teams with playoff baggage to sort through in an intense environment (Boston’s TD Garden)? “What’s better than that?” said Atkinson.

Most November: Thursday evening football. The 8-2 Steelers come to town this week and Cleveland can’t wait to hate. Russell Wilson is annoying; TJ Watt is overrated; and Mike Tomlin, who has never posted a losing season as a head coach, is a loser. The Browns will prove it, just watch.

But in November, some game days are better spent at the gym. One Cleveland franchise can’t lose while the other can’t handle the hybrid tight end. And I would never expect this football town to abandon its Browns (or the associated tailgate prospects), but I will suggest that while you’re taking shots of Jack Daniels or Jameis Winston this week, mix in some Jarrett Allen to mix.

“It’s unbelievable,” Allen said of the atmosphere against Charlotte. “Especially on Sundays. “Everyone came out. Everyone is showing tons of energy throughout the city of Cleveland. It’s unbelievable how the city of Cleveland has adopted us and how they come to every game and scream about everything… That’s what this is all about. The city of Cleveland is so supportive of us.”
