It has been an up and down season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. JB Bickerstaff’s young squad has looked great at times, but also played poorly in other segments of 2021-22. But as the regular season comes to a close, the Cavaliers still have a lot to be happy about. Cleveland, remember, has already clinched its […]

The regular season has been one to remember for Cavs nation.

Kevin Love doesn’t want to assume what LeBron James would do in his career, but he agrees it would be a perfect ending for him if he returns to the Cleveland Cavaliers for his final year in the NBA. The Cavs forward even took it up a notch and suggested Cleveland could take Bronny James […]

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach JB Bickerstaff was right in his criticism of officials that they missed crucial calls in their loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

This has been a rollercoaster of a season, but all thing considered, Cavs fans can walk away from it knowing that this year was a massive success for the franchise. The young Cavaliers took a tremendous step forward, pulling themselves up out of the rebuild phase they were in the past 3 years and into […]

No. It’s a simple answer to a simple question. There’s no room for any disappointment with this squad considering where they were a few short months ago. Where there were a year ago. Where they were when LeBron bolted for LA not even 4 years ago. This preseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a consensus cellar-dweller […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the team that surprised the world this year.

Right now, the Cavs are sitting at a 41-32 record, something no one could have seen before the season […]

  Gone are the days of the four consecutive Cleveland Cavaliers-Golden State Warriors NBA Finals. The NBA is an ever-shifting, ever-evolving, ever-fluid league. Very few rivalries in the association remain consistent from year-to-year, with both teams hating each other. Cavs-Dubs could very well go down as one of the greatest rivalries of all time, but […]

Lauri Markkanen has had quite an interesting stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers already in the seven months since he was first traded here.

Seven years ago on draft night, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded for the rights to the first pick of the second round: a 6’7″ Small Forward out of Turkey. Cedi Osman.

In the span of just a few years, the Cleveland Cavaliers have put together one of the very best young cores in the NBA. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen have separated themselves from the pack this year. Garland and Allen, the most lethal pick-and-roll duo in the NBA, were both named All-Stars. Evan […]

It’s been 10 weeks since Ricky Rubio suffered a season ending injury, tearing the ACL in his left knee. He was in the midst of having a spectacular game, putting up 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists, making up for the absence of an already injured Darius Garland. Picking up 31 year old Rubio […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have stumbled out of the gates just a bit following the All-Star break.

After emerging as one of the top teams in the East over the first half of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have fallen back down to earth of late.

A little over two and a half years ago, on the night of the 2020 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers introduced a four-man rookie class. Darius Garland taken at #5, Dylan Windler at #26, Kevin Porter Jr at #30, and the undrafted Dean Wade. This group of young Cavs is fun to look back at. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are good again. Not only are they just good again, this is a team that has chemistry. The players clearly enjoy partaking in the game of basketball together. They compete every minute of every game. Poor performances are few and far between, which means the eradication of a Cavs staple: the scapegoat. […]

Most Cavs fans who watched the team last season remember one particularly rough stretch of the schedule, where Cleveland was completely wiped clean of guards. At the time, Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, Kevin Porter Jr, and Matthew Dellavedova were all out for a variety of reasons, which resulted in Damyean Dotson and Cedi Osman splitting […]

Let’s start off with a general rule of thumb: rookies almost always struggle in the NBA, even the very best ones. Jalen Green and Jalen Suggs, both top-five picks in last year’s draft, have tumbled out of the gates. It doesn’t mean they should see their stock take any significant hit, but it’s just how […]

All-Star weekend was a smashing success for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen performed well in their All-Star Game debuts.

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Jarrett Allen has always been a guy generally liked and appreciated around the NBA. He plays the game the right way. He gives it his all on the court. He does the little things. He doesn’t demand the ball. He’s always been a very nice, easy-going guy. He’s got the best […]

It wasn’t too long ago that Darius Garland was regarded by some as the worst player in the NBA, as Cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor noted.  Coming off a tough rookie season, people around the league were significantly lower on him than when he was selected 5th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2019 NBA Draft.  […]

With his debut in the books, the Caris LeVert era has officially begun for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the story of the NBA season so far. After three disappointing seasons without LeBron James, the Ohio-based franchise has had an excellent season up until this point.

The Cavs used a total team […]

Fortunately, the severity of the injury is relatively minor, as reports say, but he will likely miss a few games. The Cavaliers could not have […]

Are we sure we’re already in 2022? Kevin Love is playing like he’s in 2012.

Unfortunately, the injury bug has […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are having an impressive start to the season as they are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 20-15 record.
