The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have many games against marquee opponents left. Their showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers is one of a few exceptions — depending on how you feel about the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers have completely turned around their season in the last month, thanks mostly to the efforts of Luka Doncic, who’s […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers did just enough to get past the tanking Utah Jazz 122-113, thanks to 34-point performances from both Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell.

WINNER – Evan Mobley It’s not every night that Evan Mobley looks like a bully. But tonight, the Utah Jazz had no one who could defend Mobley in the paint. Mobley commanded multiple bodies […]
Much to the delight of both organizations, the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to pull out the 122-113 win over the tanking Utah Jazz to start their brief three-game road trip. This game was much closer than it should’ve been in the fourth quarter. The Jazz were without six rotation players and came into this game […]

It appears the Cleveland Cavaliers will deal with injuries from start to finish this season. The team announced that both Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade will remain in Cleveland while the Cavs leave for their final West Coast road trip. Tyson suffered a bone bruise in his left great toe on March 19 against the […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers ran the Miami Heat off the floor. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Jarrett Allen In case you couldn’t tell, the Cavs missed Jarrett Allen. That was clear the moment he returned to the floor for his first game since March 3rd. During that time without Allen, the Cavs […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers obliterated the Miami Heat in a bounce-back performance from their previous meeting. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 6 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals Mitchell played the role of facilitator in this one. He used his gravity as a weapon, drawing multiple defenders […]
It was a tale of two games for the Cleveland Cavaliers, with the second being a lot more to their liking. Max Strus hit eight threes, Jarrett Allen had a double-double in his return to the starting lineup, and James Harden added 17 points and 10 assists as the Cavs throttled the visiting Miami Heat […]
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is expected to make his return to the starting lineup, per head coach Kenny Atkinson in his pre-game press conference. It’ll be the first time Allen has appeared in a game since early in the month, when he left their March 3rd game against the Detroit Pistons with what was […]
Many words have been said and written about why the Cleveland Cavaliers’ new core four won’t work. About redundancy. About perimeter defense. About spacing. Very few words have been said and written about why it will work. About what, precisely, makes die-hard fans and the Cleveland front office and coaching staff alike believe that this […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have only had their new core four players of James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen all together on the court for three games this season. Friday’s contest against the Miami Heat could be their fourth. Allen, who has missed the team’s last 10 games with a knee injury, is […]
Earlier this week, we asked Cleveland Cavaliers fans if they would be in favor of trading Evan Mobley for Giannis Antetokounmpo after it was reported last Friday that Mobley was the type of player the Milwaukee Bucks would want in return for a possible Giannis deal. The comment section for the survey prompt was pretty […]
CLEVELAND — For the first time in five games, the Cleveland Cavaliers weren’t bailed out by their offense as they fell to the Miami Heat 120-103. “If you want to win in the league, you have to commit to defense,” Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game. “Point blank, you’re not going to […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t put their best foot forward to start this game. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. LOSER- Coming Out Flat Second night of a back-to-back. Numerous key players are down due to injury. Random, meaningless game in March. I understand all of the context. That still doesn’t mean it’s okay for […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers four-game winning streak was snapped by the Miami Heat. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 28 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 turnovers The first half was on par with some of the defensive effort we’ve seen this week from Mitchell. The second half, though? […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ slow start on both ends of the floor did them in. They erased a 21-point deficit and grabbed a brief fourth-quarter lead, but they weren’t able to hold off the Miami Heat, resulting in a 120-103 loss. The defense — once again — was the issue. Head coach Kenny Atkinson […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a tough time keeping their ideal starting lineup on the floor. We’re not sure if Dean Wade is in their preferred playoff starting lineup, but he has been a starter for most of the season. Unfortunately, the Cavs could be without him for a few games as he went down […]
