Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has heard these comparisons before, so when discussing how he measures up to soon-to-be Hall of Fame wing Dwyane Wade, his answer is understandably nuanced. On one end of the spectrum is the inspiration he gets from Wade, a former NBA superstar that he studies under and whose resume he […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland is an incredibly gifted shot-creator, the best ball-handler to don the Wine and Gold since Kyrie Irving and a three-level scorer with a feathery soft touch and missile range. So good in fact that a number of notable NBA players have come out over the past few years to […]

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.

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.

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 […]

No matter where LeBron James plays, lives or goes, he and the Cleveland Cavaliers will forever be intertwined.

There are few more memorable NBA Finals series than when the Cleveland Cavaliers came all the way back from being 3-1 down against the Golden State Warriors to win the 2016 NBA championship after seven games.
