The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have many games against marquee opponents left.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson […]
