But, injuries continue to play a major part in their struggles, even from the day the 2021-22 campaign began. Collin Sexton hurt his knee, Ricky Rubio tore his ACL and then got traded, and […]

No. It’s a simple answer to a simple question. There’s no room for any disappointment with this squad considering where they were a few short months ago. Where there were a year ago. Where they were when LeBron bolted for LA not even 4 years ago. This preseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a consensus cellar-dweller […]

  Gone are the days of the four consecutive Cleveland Cavaliers-Golden State Warriors NBA Finals. The NBA is an ever-shifting, ever-evolving, ever-fluid league. Very few rivalries in the association remain consistent from year-to-year, with both teams hating each other. Cavs-Dubs could very well go down as one of the greatest rivalries of all time, but […]
