Isaiah Thomas isn’t supposed to make his Cleveland Cavaliers debut before 2018 as he recovers from a hip injury, but his timetable might be moving up. From Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon: Isaiah Thomas’ timetable for return seems to be accelerating from the original target of January 1. . . . Though there has been no official [...]

To say that the Cavaliers are struggling to find their way this season with a much different core is an understatement, and one of their new pieces that they are trying to incorporate is current starting point guard Derrick Rose. With Isaiah Thomas recovering from his hip injury and not set to return until 2018, [...]

Sitting at 3-5, the losers of four straight, with a bottom-two defense to their name, the Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t doing well. Most people in and around the NBA aren’t too worried. The Eastern Conference is still a wide-open pit of mediocrity. The Cavaliers have LeBron James. They have a bunch of new faces. Isaiah Thomas [...]

Conspiracy theorists who believe Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue only started Dwyane Wade at the beginning of the season to prove that he should come off the bench are about to be vindicated. Speaking on the latest episode of The Lowe Post podcast, ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst told Zach Lowe that Lue was thrown off by [...]

Who had the Cleveland Cavaliers holding a team meeting to hash out their issues fewer than 10 games into the season? Those of you who did, congratulations! You’ve won! I don’t know what you win.

Why, no, Derrick Rose does not miss playing with the New York Knicks. He’s perfectly happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thanks for asking. From the New York Post‘s Alex Squadron: After one roller-coaster season with the dysfunctional, triangle-absorbed Knicks, point guard Derrick Rose is feeling comfortable in a brand new home. Why exactly? “[With the Cavaliers], [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers may not be done tinkering with their starting lineup. Although they began the year running out both Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade in the backcourt with Kevin Love at center, head coach Tyronn Lue elected to pivot fewer than five games into the season. Ahead of Tuesday night’s win over the Chicago [...]

More than four years later, former Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin has no problems admitting the obvious: The team screwed up in 2013 by drafting Anthony Bennett with the No. 1 overall pick. Now, Griffin wasn’t the Cavaliers’ GM at the time, but he was among the front-office staff that convinced Chris Grant, the [...]

It seems like J.R. Smith is coming around on this whole “playing off the bench” thing. Though he, unlike Tristan Thompson, first bristled at losing his starting job, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ sometimes-sharp-shooting guard is singing a different tune these days: He now believes the bench that he’s a part of is the best in the [...]
