The Cavaliers are meandering along around .500 at this point, trading wins with bad teams and loses with decent teams as they maintain their status in the middle of the eastern conference playoff standings at 38-28. LeBron James is feeling out his new teammates and doing so while continuing to seemingly reach new heights as [...]

We will not be seeing Kawhi Leonard return from a right quad injury and rescue the San Antonio Spurs’ playoff hopes. Not this week anyway.

Just give the Toronto Raptors first place in the Eastern Conference now. The Cleveland Cavaliers won’t even come close to catching them. Heck, they’ll be lucky to stave off the Indiana Pacers for the East’s No. 3 seed. The Boston Celtics are their lone threat entering the final month of the season, and they still [...]
