After becoming the first team in NBA history to complete two straight series sweeps in the playoffs two seasons in a row, the Cavaliers have erased many doubts that were crashing their ceiling toward the end of the regular season. Now, waiting nine days before their Eastern Conference opponent arrives in Cleveland, LeBron James and […]

For both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, it’s taken eight games to reach their respective Conference Finals. The defending Conference champions have performed as expected, and the same can be said about their leadership in LeBron James and Steph Curry. The two have had tremendous impact on their teams’ success, but comparisons are […]

In 2015, it was #NextManUp. In 2016, it was #Allin216. This year, it’s fair to say the Cavs motto is #FlipThatSwitch after relentless doubt from fans and critics surrounded the defending champs’ defense for the later part of the regular season. At one point, the question shifted from if the Cavs are trying to if […]

LeBron James was his usual, dominating self in the 1st round against Indiana; but he had some incredible help from certain Cavaliers. While a majority of first round matchups in these 2017 NBA playoffs are extending the series into five to seven games, a few have gone as expected. The Trailblazers find themselves in another […]

2017 has a completely different vibe as the Cleveland Cavaliers enter the post season. New challenges, fears and opportunities as a team that has gone 11-15 in their last 26 regular season games prepares to defend their title. That said, we’ve been here before, and we know how to get where we we’re going. The […]

After the midseason additions of Kyle Korver, Derrick Williams, Deron Williams, and Larry Sanders, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now one of the NBA’s deepest teams. However, with most NBA teams only playing eight or nine men in the playoffs, what could the Cavs’ postseason rotations look like? Kay Felder is just a rookie, and doesn’t […]

It seems as though there is no end to irony for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Just one day after Coach Tyronn Lue jinxed the media with hopes of returning to a full 15-man roster, iron-man Tristan Thompson’s thumb suffered an injury. While the MRI results were negative and force Thompson to only miss two games, it […]

After 58 seconds of fame before tragically losing Andrew Bogut, the Cavaliers are intent on filling up minutes in the paint without Kevin Love and with a strained Tristan Thompson. With multiple superstitious tweets and confirmed sources, it appears Cleveland has become front-runners for their backup center option, Larry Sanders. Earlier today, Sanders might’ve confirmed […]

LeBron James has become the NBA’s most decorated and successful athlete of his generation. James, who turned 32 this past December has been the best player in basketball for over a decade now. His sustained excellence at the top of the NBA mountain and his continued dominance over his peer has now trapped us in […]

The Cavaliers have been linked to many players as they continue their search for a playmaker, but one point guard in particular stands out. Fun, RESPONSIBLE #Mavs trade speculation: @DLord_DBdotcom sees #Mavs / #Cavs back on phone re Deron Williams. — mike fisher ✭ (@fishsports) February 22, 2017 A 13-year veteran, Deron Williams was one […]

Something has happened to Kyle Korver recently. Is it the LeBron James effect? Or maybe the crisp, inspiring Cleveland air? Perhaps, it’s just the Indiana Pacers. When the Cavs played the Pacers last week, Kyle Korver hit 8 triples in 26 minutes. He's got 6 in 21 tonight. — Nikki Goel (@NikkiGoelCavs) February 16, 2017 […]

In a week of miles, LeBron James led his reigning champions around the country through a hectic week that featured a three-game road trip stretched over four days. The Cavaliers finished with a 3-1 record this week as James averaged 25.5 points, 11.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds along with an impressive list of personal accolades: […]

With a back to back standing in the way between three Cavaliers and their exclusive All Star break festivities, Coach Lue decided to take precautions. All Star power forward reserve, Kevin Love, will miss Tuesday’s reunion in Minnesota. The Cavs announced this today after Love left Denver’s win with knee pain, per David Aldridge. An […]

There was a strange feeling when the Cavs entered Madison Square Garden to take on the Knicks on Saturday night. LeBron Jame’s chance to pass Kobe Bryant for the NBA’s youngest to reach 28,000, but also potentially one of last prime performances at MSG at the age of 32. Yet another epic battle with Carmelo […]

While fans build up what the stars are playing down, Christmas’ most special game is inevitably personal. While Steph Curry looked forward to returning to Cleveland for champagne smell after winning in 2015, the Cavs made sure the Warriors’ visit this year is also memorable. This was the entrance to the visitors locker room in […]

Christmas time this year is remarkably different than last year. Without a ring, without the assurance of success, Cleveland was still known as the mistake on the lake. Unfortunately, Clevelanders felt this way as well. The anxiety remained despite the Cavs’ progress mainly because of the Golden State Warrior’s continued success, and when the city […]

The feeling around a three-game winning streak never felt so ominous. After lingering injuries, exploited defensive weaknesses and the news about Jr Smith’s near regular season-ending rehab, the Cavs “next man up” philosophy hasn’t been this relevant since the 2015 NBA Finals. In the most convenient fashion, when JR Smith fell, another sharpshooter seized the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ worst fear came true today, as road to recovery for sharp shooting guard and team favorite, JR Smith, has been tragically extended. Smith very quietly hurt his right thumb earlier this week against the Bucks while contesting a Giannis Antetokounmpo drive to the basket. The initial impression seemed less concerning than his […]

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were not about to lose Tuesday night’s overtime grind out against the Bucks. In case you missed it, the Cavs two “rocket launchers” in James and Irving combined for 62 points to lead the Cavs to the back-to-back series advantage with Milwaukee. In the end, it was James who seized […]

Continuing on his quest to master the game of basketball, LeBron James made yet another historical stop on his journey Tuesday night in Milwaukee. James reminded the World about his living legacy when he passed Moses Malone for eighth place (27,409 points) on the NBA all-time scoring list with a simple but tough basket against […]

Bitter yet sweet, distant yet inevitable is every player’s career in the NBA. Looking back always makes you feel old, but after spending half of his 31 years on Earth living up to “Chosen One” status, LeBron James is feeling the age. With Kevin Love and friends, James took to Instagram to vent about being […]

Greatness always needs a reminder. Since his return home, LeBron James has provided several of them for fans and critics. Saturday night’s matchup was another reminder for NBA, when James cashed in in his largest scoring night since returning to Cleveland against the Eastern Conference third-ranked Charlotte Hornets. But what’s remarkable is the ease with […]

There was some doubt as to the availability of several players Friday morning before the Cleveland Cavaliers back-to-back weekend at home. Kevin Love had back issues, Jr Smith suffered from the hyperextended knee earlier in the week and LeBron James is always due for playoff rest. After dismantling the shorthanded Miami Heat, the Cavs reinforced […]

Cleveland power forward Kevin Love is a lot of things. He’s graceful, sturdy, versatile, and disgusting. Speaking of which, Love is also disgusting in a lot of ways. Outscoring Paul George and out-rebounding DeMarcus Cousins is disgusting, but the nastiest instance of Kevin Love happened during Wednesday Night’s dismantling of the New York Knicks. look […]

There’s always talk about ghosts when LeBron James comes to Chicago. While Michael Jordan is the typical ghost in this scenario, James managed to bring back a little ghost from the past despite the loss. You might remember this play? Recall the Cavs journey of 2015, when James made the same play to tie the […]

In a downward week for the Cavaliers, Cleveland fans have grown anxious from what they’ve seen these past few games; but the worst has yet to come. Tonight, in light of a tragic World Series collapse, LeBron James will once again carry Cleveland’s burden in the form of a bet. Honoring his end, James will […]

For the first time in months, the Cleveland Cavaliers hit a slightly ominous patch in their celebratory season. After squeaking by the team known as “The Process” and being thwarted by the enthusiastic Milwaukee Bucks, the Cavs return shorthanded to defend the Land against the West’s third-best LA Clippers. Mike Dunleavy, who walked away from […]

Merely two days after Ohio State University’s the historical victory against the team up North, the campus’ euphoria was eclipsed by an unforgettable act of terrorism. Ex-OSU athletes, Ohioans and Americans alike are reaching out to the campus and its 11 injured, surviving victims. This include LeBron James who consoled his home state via Twitter […]

Having just lost his delightful mother less than a month ago, Channing Frye endured yet another tragedy in the passing of his fathers just yesterday. With the upmost respect from all of us in the Cavs Nation family, we wanted to carry a bit of the heavy burden unjustly placed on Frye’s enlarged heart. If […]

Not many basketball fans can appreciate the past like a Cavs fan can. Brutal history and sticky sentiments have always plagued Clevelanders and their players. The story of LeBron James, his disappointments and triumphs for example, all circle around an idea of letting go of the past for a hopeful future; but there are 13 […]

The wonders of being a part of a franchise go beyond the sport you represent and compete in. We often find ourselves dwelling on records, stats and (if you’re from Cleveland) rings, but the holidays always tend to bring players to a place that’s bigger than basketball. One Monday, November 21st, the Cavaliers held their […]

Kevin Love’s time in Cleveland has been called uncertain and unproductive on average. But after winning a ring, reaching a lean physical condition, and now achieving his Cavalier career best of 40 points (previously 34), Love has finally found a new, rightful place with a surreal view on this team. Last night, after breaking a […]

The Cavs made Cleveland’s latest road trip to the Washington Wizards an efficient one. LeBron James made it an eventful one. With the reigning 2016 NBA Champions enjoying what may be the final White House victory visit, James teamed up with a couple civil servants to bring some cheer in a city suffering at the […]

It’s assumed as law now: if you want a taste of success, your best chance is to feed off LeBron James. If you want to go to the NBA Finals, you should come to Cleveland. If you’re youthful and hungry for an opportunity to better yourself, you should come to Akron. If you’re the NBA, […]

If you haven’t asked yourself why things have been falling so perfectly into place for Cleveland lately, then you might have to by the end of this month considering a lot of firsts. There’s the Calder cup, the miracle in the Oracle and now, for the first time since 2007, a promising playoff run by […]

What a time to be in the Land. Counting down the days before an Indians playoff run and the Cavaliers championship defense, Ohio’s mistake on the lake is now swelling in the spotlight with the arrival of attention. Before the Cavs’ season opening Wine and Gold scrimmage on Sunday, Kanye West gave Cleveland another taste […]

It’s a narrative that we thought was put to bed in the Finals: Kyrie Irving is terrible on defense. When he outplayed Stephen Curry on both sides of the ball, helping bring the Cavs back from 3-1, it felt like Irving turned a corner. Really, after Steve Blake beat him off the dribble in the […]

We here at Cavs Nation pride ourselves on bringing you all of the Cavs news, not just the good stuff (such as how the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, making your Cleveland Cavaliers the NBA Championships). Cleveland, as is tradition, still somehow after a championship makes reporting an interesting […]

Despite beef in 2014, Kanye West and Iman Shumpert have moved on after quarrels about Mr. West criticizing Mrs. Shump’s album. The three musicians came together this year to celebrate West’s latest album by making a raw, unapologetic music video for Life of Pablo‘s “Fade.” Disclaimer: it’s not the most appropriate of scenes, but what […]
