Cavs

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have a comfortable 2.5-game hold on the Eastern Conference’s top postseason spot, and they’re still favorites to return to the NBA Finals. That, however, isn’t merely enough. Not for LeBron. On the heels of Cleveland’s 107-103 loss at the pleasure of the incredibly shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, [...]

All is not peachy keen with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Not according to Stephen A. Smith of ESPN’s First Take (h/t Josh Hill of FanSided): Dating back to last year, I’ve been told that Kyrie Irving ain’t too happy being in Cleveland,” Smith stated on First Take this morning. “The situation is not ideal for him. [...]

Anderson Varejao may neither forgive nor forget. The Cleveland Cavaliers dealt Varejao, a lifer, to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a salary dump. He was promptly released by the Blazers and then signed with the Golden State Warriors—a team he already loves because of how much they love each other. From the Cleveland.com’s [...]

Channing Frye is on the move. The serviceable, versatile big man is headed from Orlando to Cleveland. After getting handled by the Warriors several weeks back, Cleveland realizes that they can’t hang with the eventual Western Conference champs. That’s evident by way of a team in first place firing their head coach and taking steps [...]

Yes, you read that mind-blowing headline correctly.

David Blatt’s removal in Cleveland more or less means that LeBron James will be labeled a “coach killer.” That may not be fair to LeBron, but given the circumstances, that’s the general consensus. And as you can imagine, LeBron is none too pleased with this label. It’s amazing how it feels like the wheels have [...]

Now that the Cavs have shocked us all and fired David Blatt, who knows what else they’ll do. Is everyone not named LeBron James safe? There have been rumors of late that suggest Kevin Love may be on the trade block. Even into year two of this experiment, you still get the feeling that he [...]

The Cavs’ 34-point home loss to the Warriors is something they’d like to forget sooner rather than later. But how can they? Steph Curry boasted that he hoped Cleveland’s locker room still smelled like their victory champagne from last June, and Cleveland still came out and dropped a dud. The day after, there was a [...]

When Timofey Mozgov arrived in Cleveland last year, his presence was largely thought to be the missing piece to a Cavs championship run. That may very well have been the case if the Cavs had not become decimated with injuries in the playoffs. But this season, we’ve seen David Blatt go with a smaller lineup [...]
