Yes, Cleveland would become the first team to go 12-0 into the NBA Finals. While the second-best team in the East stands in their way, Cleveland sports have probably never placed faith more confidently than in this year’s Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Toronto Raptors. The reasons are manifested throughout this matchup, where one […]

After reaching its first Eastern Conference Finals, the North left behind three franchises (Pelicans, Hornets, Clippers) in the NBA without a final four appearance. However, the Raptors are probably the first No. two seed in a while to have expectations of reaching the conference finals as low as their’s. Toronto found some continuity after responding […]

Agree to disagree? It’s the playoffs, a time when you can witness the pinnacle of basketball from fighters on Mother’s Day to survivors who make it to Father’s Day. Sometime between those vital days of valuation, the best of the regular season is chosen as the league’s most valuable player. Yes, Warriors sensation Stephen Curry […]

Every year, for the eternity of NBA history, all teams unapologetically believe in their chances; and every year, for the eternity of NBA history, teams who find themselves in a three-game hole have lied to themselves. After a late road rally in Game 3, Cleveland has put Atlanta in that hole once again. History is […]

Most 3’s in a quarter? Nope. How about most 3’s in a playoff game? Nope. Most 3’s in any game? Nope. How about, most 3’s in any quarter and in any game (regular or playoffs)? The Golden State Warriors? Ye-nope. In an unprecedented 48 minutes, the Cavaliers immortalized their place beyond the arc. Whether it’s […]

David Blatt. Remember that guy? Justifiably so, the league is abuzz with hyped fans, sour doubters and even more hyped fans reminding doubters (sometimes excessively) that it’s the playoffs. Then again, many fans have long forgotten the 30-11 team atop the East led by the capable, but misunderstood, David Blatt. After bringing a 17-time European […]

JR Smith’s recent dedication to defense and exorcisms of defense have contributed greatly to the Cavs elusive title of “team.” But, despite all his efforts, J.R. Smith can never seem to lose the limelight. Within the vicinity of MSG, it’s impossible. Last November, an incident involving Smith and a Manhattan pizzeria gave him his latest, […]

If you haven’t heard, the city of Flint, Michigan has been struck by a severe water contamination crisis. The issue forced President Obama to declare a federal state of emergency. Many noted figures have pitched in to donate water bottles and other supplies to those affected in Flint, including: Beyoncé, Diddy, Mark Wahlberg, and LeBron […]

It’s finally behind us: the first clash of conference heavyweights that intrigued each and every fan since last year’s unforgettable Finals series. Certainly, Cleveland’s rematch with Golden State did not disappoint. There were some emotions on Friday; justified emotions from fans in a reunion that came after a limping, unappeased finish to last season. However, […]

It seems like Cleveland always has a different team, forcing the Cavaliers to play with a new set of cards night in and night out. Now, after confirming that New York will be without Carmelo Anthony, reports that guard Mo Williams will be returning for Cleveland on Wednesday surfaced. #Cavs G Mo Williams (thumb) says […]

Host of the Average Sports Show Brad Russell and E.I.C Nikki Goel discuss the return of Kyrie and looking ahead to a big week for the Cavs. Tune in for more @1590WAKRNews and @NikkiGoelCavs

That settles it. On his own terms, Kyrie Irving announces his return after missing the first 24 games of the season due to a fractured knee cap that has haunted him since his first career NBA Finals appearance months ago. I'm back. — Kyrie Irving (@KyrieIrving) December 19, 2015 “Wrongly reported” less than a week […]

It’s official: Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert is the father of a beautiful baby girl. His wife certainly sees the paternal potential, as father Shump went doctor Shump to bring new life into the world: “On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world.

After landing the largest sports contract in human history (What a time to be alive), LeBron James has signed his life away to Nike. That’s a commitment, and we all know how seriously James takes his commitments. RELATED: LeBron James Signs Lifetime Deal With Nike If the video above does not work, try this one: […]

It may be a limited sample size, but the Cavs have shown immediate improvement in two straight games with Iman Shumpert back from missing 21 straight after a wrist injury. The biggest improvement has been defense, and Shumpert’s return had it coming. Coming off a 35-point blowout over the Orlando Magic, the Cavs recorded a […]

After missing 21 games due to a wrist injury, surgery and rehab process, Cavs shooting guard Iman Shumpert has been taken off the injured reserve list. His anticipated activation has stretched for weeks without return dates, the best report being “a chance” for a comeback from head coach David Blatt on their upcoming road trip. […]

With an Eastern conference that will only get better, the Atlanta Hawks are quickly loosing a competitive edge on teams like the Cavaliers and Bulls. Even a quick tip from an eight-year-old fan couldn’t hurt: If you couldn’t make out his stellar penmanship, Eli wrote directly to Coach Mike Budenholzer: Dear Coach Bud, My name […]

Were we ever truly worried about LeBron James? After receiving an anti-inflammatory injection in his lower back last week, some questioned LeBron James’ availability in the Cavaliers’ season opener against the Chicago Bulls after being shutdown for the remainder of preseason. Reports from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin throughout the week gave optimism despite yesterday’s panic that […]

“Never before have I had middle-aged women, or older women, or people of color, approach me in these numbers.” The phrase “LeBron James” can take over any conversation, drive away any doubt of greatness, bring profits to any business and even make any organization a philanthropic one. James’ influence serves communities around the world, but […]

This past week, for the sixteenth time since its inception in 2002 (NBA Media Central) , the NBA Replay Center unanimously voted to add modifications to the instant-replay procedure for NBA games. The association has stepped up its game this time. Starting this season, before the required three on-court NBA officials can make a calls […]

The media has been looking for “that story” this summer and according to TMZ’s “obtained court documents,” a gold mine might have been uncovered. Quickly surfacing around the web are rumors that Kyrie Irving is going to be a dad. With news this big, it only makes sense that it comes out of Texas, where […]

Have you ever wanted to travel around with LeBron James? What about just making contact with one of the greatest of all time? Well then there’s a opportunity for you, and you can apply to the King himself: I've been thinking about this for awhile and some of you may think I'm crazy but hey, […]

What hurts most about falling short after coming so far in sports is how deep the fallen end up. Kevin Love’s recovery from his shoulder injury still feels dislocated and Kyrie Irving’s knee fracture in Game 1 of Cleveland’s fairytale Finals run still stings months later. Consequently, the front office’s job was far from finished […]

Cleveland’s offseason has been dramatically predictable, especially in their front court. After Kevin Love announced his decision to take care of unfinished business and Timofey Mozgov accepting a qualifying offer to play for a larger contract next season, all that’s left for Cavs fans to do is welcome back Tristan Thompson. Then came Sasha Kaun, […]

Like most storylines in LeBron James’ career, the tension between him and Kevin Love insinuated by subversive thinkers results from taking the King’s life too personally. James revealed his inner circle of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade – the tremendous draft class of 2003 – to silence any speculation of his relationship with […]

After an entire summer of contract talks, Cavs fans in the dark finally heard word on Tristan Thompson’s contract, and the dramatic anticipation did not disappoint. The Forward’s agent, Rich Paul, announced an ultimatum that makes Cleveland’s decision on Thompson’s future a gamble: "All I know is TT on Qualifying Offer will be his last […]

Summer 2015 has been underwhelming to say the least. The Cavs have swallowed defeat, reassembled a majority of their hungry squad, added a few old and new faces, and now look to take their NBA-leading 2-1 Las Vegas odds to the 2015-16 season with a head of steam for a championship. Along that path was […]

Since losing in the NBA Finals, the Cavaliers have learned to become grateful. Cavs fans are starting to fight pessimistic slurs that called LeBron James’ 40-point performances and triple-doubles “not enough” to win a championship. Now, the Cavs have some work to do in order to avoid falling short next season. The first step is […]

Two facts were validated about LeBron James in his 2015 postseason push: all discipline, no distractions. In fact, made that clear before the playoffs even started with his patented Social Media Shutdown that he benevolently calls “Zero Dark Thirty-23.” Besides the one-way praises he sent Chris Paul in a 30 second phone call after the […]

With the weight of the NBA’s most patient fans on his shoulders, LeBron James has to avoid drowning in his hometown’s half-century thirst of a championship. Thus far, the King has led his the Cavaliers to 12 impressive playoff victories in a postseason-low 14 games. Now in his fifth consecutive Finals showing, James is leading […]

One year after LeBron James’ migration to Miami, the Cleveland Cavaliers limped out of a 19-63 season with a single bittersweet purpose: rebuild. This construction project’s foundation was the 2011 NBA Draft. Three picks after selecting Kyrie Irving first overall out of Duke University, Cleveland spent their fourth pick of the Draft on Tristan Thompson […]

There is a level of respect you get when you stand up after being shoved by another player who’s got 60 pounds on you. But read his lips, and you realize he might’ve just ignited LeBron James, who silences trash talk with domination.

After stealing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Atlanta, the Cleveland Cavaliers have validated the theory that, come playoff time, regular season records are meaningless. The Houston Rockets were swept by the Golden State Warriors by an average difference of 14.1 ppg in the regular season before insinuating this thesis after falling short […]

Joakim Noah continues to do absolutely nothing against LeBron James. All talk is an understatement.

This is not basketball. The worst part? Chicago cheers when the Bulls make these plays.

After Bulls Point Guard Derrick Rose won Game Three with a miraculous buzzer-beater off the glass, the Cavs went back to the hotel with broken hearts, aching muscles and a game down in the series. Recovery was the top priority. After a yoga session and media scrutiny, the Cavs walked back into the United Center […]

After reports confirming Kevin Love’s dislocated shoulder would rule out Cleveland’s starting Power Forward for the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Cavs’ GM David Griffin made some pessimistic, yet oddly inspirational comments at this morning’s press conference: David Griffin says its "highly unlikely" that Kevin Love returns at any point during the playoffs. — Dave McMenamin (@mcten) […]
