Whenever a star player is approaching the end of his contract, pundits always kick up a fuss about their future and whether or not they would want to stay with the franchise they’re currently in. This is the case for Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell. Spida, despite having two more years on his contract (including […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ blockbuster trade for Donovan Mitchell in 2022 was, by all accounts, a successful deal. The Cavs were in need of a top-tier star to take the Cavs’ young core to the next level, and take them to the next level, Mitchell certainly did. With a high-volume scorer there to shoulder the majority […]

There was a possibility that the Cleveland Cavaliers won’t be the only winning team the city of Cleveland could be rooting for in 2023; with Deshaun Watson, Amari Cooper, and Nick Chubb around to lead the Cleveland Browns, there was a chance for the Browns to improve upon their 7-10 record last season. Alas, the […]

It seems like playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers is a rite of passage for basketball hoopers with the Nance surname. On Tuesday night, Priority Sports agency announced that the Cavs had signed Pete Nance, the son of Cavs legend Larry Nance and brother of Larry Nance Jr., the former Cavs forward who’s currently with the […]

When the Cleveland Cavaliers signed Max Strus to a four-year, $64 million deal in free agency, they were adding one of the most well-versed players in the art of shooting on the move. Strus flourished in his role with the Miami Heat as someone who comes off screens, pindowns, and curls, helping stretch the defense […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off a heartbreaking first-round exit at the hands of the New York Knicks, were one of the busiest teams on the free agent market. In their bid to improve over last year’s disappointing finish, the Cavs acquired the likes of Max Strus and Georges Niang to bolster the team’s depth across […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade for Donovan Mitchell last year helped cement the nascent Cavs as a legitimate playoff team with a dark-horse shot at winning the championship if everything breaks right. Mitchell came in and became the lead scorer the team needed to reach their next level of progression. But for the Cavs to be […]

There is no question that Donovan Mitchell is one of the best guards in the NBA. Mitchell, in addition to being an explosive three-level scorer, also contributes to winning at a high level, as he has not missed the playoffs yet since entering the league in 2017. But with the Cleveland Cavaliers fresh off a […]

One of the biggest reasons behind the Cleveland Cavaliers’ emergence into a legitimate playoff contender during the 2022-23 season was the addition of Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell gave the Cavs a reliable scoring option on a nightly basis, forming a lethal backcourt with Darius Garland. In a season full of highs for both Mitchell and the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a concerted effort to surround their stars Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley with more shooting for the 2023-24 season. After all, the New York Knicks packed the paint during their 2023 playoff series, making it difficult for the Cavs to do much of anything on offense. Thus, in free […]

Darius Garland admitted that it took him a while to move past the Cleveland Cavaliers’ heart-wrenching defeat at the hands of the New York Knicks during the 2023 NBA playoffs. But in the NBA, there’s always a new season waiting at the end of the tunnel to renew hopes that a lost season once dashed. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the 2023 NBA playoffs with high hopes. And why shouldn’t they have? They won 50 games in the regular season, as Darius Garland and company notched the Cavs’ first playoff berth in the post-LeBron James era. However, the sweetness of their success quickly turned to bitterness as they flamed out of […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers believe that they landed one of the steals of the 2023 NBA Draft when they selected Emoni Bates with the 49th pick. Bates was one of the most hyped-up high school prospects of all time, so it’s clear that, despite struggling in his transition to the college game, he certainly has the […]

By all accounts, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ blockbuster trade for Donovan Mitchell in 2022 was a rousing success. Sure, the Cavs’ season ended in playoff heartbreak as they fell to the New York Knicks in five games, in the first round no less. But Mitchell’s addition made the Cavs a more tougher team to defend, giving […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a small forward-sized hole in their starting lineup to fill if they were to take the next step into becoming serious contenders. Isaac Okoro does not provide nearly enough two-way impact to warrant a starting spot, while Caris LeVert’s skillset isn’t exactly what the Cavs need from the position given Darius […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers, by all accounts, have had a successful 2022-23 regular season. They finished with 50 wins, and given how young their core four is, they’re set up to contend for years to come. However, the Cavs heartbreakingly fell short of expectation in the playoffs, suffering a five-game series defeat to the New York […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the 2023 NBA playoffs with high hopes. They finished the 2022-23 season with one of the best point differentials in the league, and on paper, it looked like they had a talent advantage over the New York Knicks, their first-round matchup. But as Jarrett Allen and company learned the hard way, […]

With the Cleveland Cavaliers’ addition of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland has mostly flown under the radar for the entirety of the 2022-23 season following an All-Star campaign. Mitchell’s arrival meant that Garland would have less time commandeering the Cavs’ offense, so the 23-year old floor general would have to maximize his touches all the more. […]

With the postseason only twelve days away from its commencement, teams with ambitions of winning the coveted 2023 NBA championship, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, can ill-afford injuries, even to role players such as starting small forward Isaac Okoro. Okoro has missed the Cavs’ past three games due to a knee injury, and his status […]

Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell has always had a penchant for thunderous dunks. After all, who could forget the time the Cavs star put his name on the map with a thunderous putback slam back when he was still a rookie with the Utah Jazz? And on Tuesday night, Spida was back at it again […]

On Wednesday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers found themselves in a tight contest against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid is a difficult enough matchup as it is, but without Jarrett Allen, the onus fell on Evan Mobley to try and slow down one of the best offensive players in the NBA. While that is […]

The Miami Heat, like all other teams, would most certainly prefer to avoid the uncertainty that comes with dropping into the play-in tournament. Thus, they will need every crucial rotation piece so they could, perhaps, go on a run and catch the Brooklyn Nets for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. And it seems […]

The addition of Donovan Mitchell this past offseason changed a lot of things for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After defeating the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, 104-100, the Cavs now have a 42-26 record. They remain well on their way to making the postseason for the first time without LeBron James since 1998. But it wasn’t […]

Donovan Mitchell may be tearing the nets for the Cleveland Cavaliers these days, but his love for the Utah Jazz – the franchise he spent the first five years of his careers playing for – appears to not have wavered one bit. In an interview with Kelsey Russo of The Athletic, Mitchell sat back and […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have assembled one of the best young cores in the entire association. Led by the core four of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, the Cavs should remain competitive for years to come. Nevertheless, it’s clear that the Cavs sense that they could win it all as soon as […]

John Wall and the Washington Wizards fell short in the postseason plenty of times in the mid-2010s, never getting past the second round in four postseason berths from 2014 to 2018. Nevertheless, this has not stopped Wall from doubling down on his six-year old take, most recently saying that the Wizards would have beaten “the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers expedited their transition from an upstart, rebuilding team to a bonafide playoff squad with the offseason trade that brought Donovan Mitchell to town. Armed with a 27-17 record at the time of writing, the Cavs’ acquisition of Mitchell has been an unquestioned success. However, the Cavs don’t seem to be willing to […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers were locked in a tight, back-and-forth affair with the Utah Jazz for much of their Tuesday night contest amid Donovan Mitchell’s Salt Lake City homecoming. With only a minute left in the game, Mitchell appeared to have done enough to lead the Cavs to victory, as he had scored 41 points with […]

Ricky Rubio was having a strong, bounce-back campaign amidst the Cleveland Cavaliers’ resurgence during the 2021-22 campaign. Rubio endeared himself to the Cavs faithful with his penchant for making clutch shots as well as his leadership on and off the court. However, Rubio suffered a torn ACL in late December 2021, putting a damper on […]

Donovan Mitchell captivated the entire sports world with an unfathomable 71-point, 11-assist, eight-rebound performance to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to an overtime victory vs. the Chicago Bulls. NBA stars such as LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and a few of Mitchell’s former Jazz teammates gave him his much-deserved props following a historic scoring outburst. But there […]

There might be no better way for anyone to start the New Year with a 71-point effort.

Donovan Mitchell, what have you done? It was just another Monday night in the NBA, as the Cleveland Cavaliers took on the Chicago Bulls at home. Until it wasn’t. The Bulls, despite entering the night with a 16-20 record, gave the 23-14 Cavs hell for much of the night. That is, until Donovan Mitchell took […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers, led by marquee offseason acquisition Donovan Mitchell, started the season off strong. They began the campaign with an 8-1 record, leading many to think whether Mitchell’s acquisition is enough to put the Cavs’ young core, led by Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, over the top. However, they have gone an […]

Darius Garland is at the center of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ remarkable franchise turnaround. Drafted fifth overall in 2019, Garland emerged as an All-Star guard only three years into his career. And his All-Star level of play was in full display once more during the Cavs’ Monday night game against the streaking Brooklyn Nets. The Cavs […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Ricky Rubio last season to bolster their playmaking depth alongside Darius Garland. Rubio, back then, was struggling in his role with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Cavs did well to acquire him at such a low price. The Spanish floor general proceeded to have a huge impact off the Cavs bench, […]

Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers went supernova from beyond the arc in their 121-108 victory over the New York Knicks, moving to 5-1 on the season despite the absence of Darius Garland.

Head coach JB Bickerstaff knows that the expectations for his Cleveland Cavaliers skyrocketed the instant they pulled the trigger on the Donovan Mitchell trade. A young, upstart group that surprised the league last season with a 44-38 finish, the Cavs are now viewed as one of the more serious contenders in the entire association. However, […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers, after dropping their opening night game to the Toronto Raptors, quickly turned things around, winning two games on the bounce. While Donovan Mitchell will grab the headlines with his insane scoring performances, an unsung hero has stepped up amid Darius Garland’s eye injury-induced absences: Cedi Osman, the second-longest tenured player on the […]
