Cleveland Cavaliers

Rudy Gobert’s sprained ankle is of little concern to Rudy Gobert. The third-year shot-swallower left with a sprained ankle during the fourth quarter of the Utah Jazz’s 118-114 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday and did not return. The idea that he could miss time, any time at all, is absolutely terrifying, because the [...]

NBA Power Rankings are back! After a short delay, the return of The Hoop Doctors’ weekly look at where the league stands is once again ready for liftoff. There are no rules here, so check your need for order at the door. These rankings, like always, are going to change from week to week. That’s [...]

It was a special Sunday of hoops action as two of the NBA’s premiere scorers went head-to-head in Cleveland and provided the entire basketball world one hell of a show. Paul George and LeBron James, epic, epic duel. The stage was Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. From start to finish, both clubs showed no signs [...]

LeBron James and Kevin Love are cool with one another…now. You can’t really go a full day without hearing how cool with one another they are. Love is a more integral part of the Cleveland Cavaliers offenses. LeBron is older. Kyrie Irving is still on the sidelines. The Cavs are, unlike last year, off to [...]

Kyrie Irving is working back from a knee injury, and it appears the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard could return sooner than initially expected. According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, Irving wouldn’t offer a specific date but—contrary to what the team has suggested—said he has one in mind. “There’s light at the end of the tunnel. In [...]

This update on the friendships shared between people who are much richer than you is brought to us by LeBron James. Ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 96-86 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, a game that was far closer than the score reflects, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron were naturally asked about each [...]

Dion Waiters isn’t about to do the Oklahoma City Thunder any favors. Financial favors, that is. The deadline for NBA teams to sign first-round picks from 2012 to contract extensions has come to pass, and Dion Waiters, like many others, did not reach an agreement with his incumbent team. That doesn’t mean he’ll leave Oklahoma [...]

The world knew this was eventually bound to happen. Last night, LeBron James added yet another accolade into his much-decorated career during their come-from-behind win against the Sixers. He reached the 25,000-point mark and became the youngest to do so at 30 years and 307 days. Let me repeat, Lebron James Scores 25,000 points! But [...]

Something is different about the Cleveland Cavaliers’ offense. If you’ve watched their opening two games, the first a loss to the Chicago Bulls, the second a blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies, you’ve seen it. There’s more ball movement. More things are happening away from the action, be they screens, double screens or more consistent cuts. [...]

The NBA served up three appetizing games to kick off its 70th season. One of those included the Chicago Bulls playing host to the LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers at the United Center. As most expected, the match was a really competitive one. Both teams never made it easy for the other as the game went [...]
