Cavaliers

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves back in the position they have been the last 3 years in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors: down 0-2 after two losses in Oakland. In 2017 they ended up losing the series in 5, while in 2016, they miraculously came back from a 2-0 [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the largest NBA Finals underdog since the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers. The year that Philadelphia made the NBA Finals was my first year with the team, I went from intern to Scouting Coordinator that season. One question that was, and still is, often asked of me – “Did you guys really believe [...]

If you didn’t like the Cleveland Cavaliers’ return in the Kyrie Irving trade last summer, you’re bound to hate it now that they trail the Boston Celtics 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. No, Irving isn’t playing. He’s out for the year recovering from a knee injury. But the Cavaliers’ performance against an ostensibly shorthanded [...]

LeBron James isn’t fazed the Cleveland Cavaliers’ less-than-ideal start to the Eastern Conference Finals. But should he be? The Boston Celtics whacked the Cavaliers in Game 1 on Sunday afternoon, scoring 36 points in the first quarter and never really letting the reigning conference champs back into things. They exited TD Garden with a 108-83 [...]

Rodney Hood did not play during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 4 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Monday night. But he apparently could have—in garbage time, at least. He just didn’t want to. From The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd: When the Cavs called a timeout with a 30-point lead and 7:38 left Monday, Lue tried inserting [...]

While LeBron’s supporting cast has picked it up a bit in round two, it is no secret that James carried the Cavaliers to a series victory over the Pacers possibly more so than any other player for any other team in NBA history in the 1st round. LeBron averaged 34-9-9 and not one other player [...]

You doubted LeBron James’ supporting cast this season. Admit it. You did. We all did. How could we not? Especially during that Indiana Pacers series? They were bad. They were terrible. Kevin Love couldn’t find the bottom of the net. George Hill wasn’t healthy enough to play. Head coach Tyronn Lue could not find a [...]

It sounds like Larry Nance Jr. will be out of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ postseason rotation on an indefinite basis. And he can blame Tristan Thompson for his displacement. Nance has now logged under three total minutes through the Cavaliers’ first two games with the Toronto Raptors, both of which were victories. He also only saw [...]

LeBron James scored the Cleveland Cavaliers’ first 16 points and outscored the Indiana Pacers on his own in the opening frame to kick off his team’s Game 2 victory on Wednesday. It was all downhill from there. Despite leading by as many as 18 points and entering the second quarter with a 15-point advantage, the [...]

Kevin Love is the x-factor for the Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Playoffs, as the only star caliber and experienced playoff performer left alongside LeBron, Cleveland desperately needs him to play his best if they want to return to the NBA Finals for the fourth straight season. Love and the team had a scare on [...]
