Finally, the basketball gods were shining on Cleveland Cavaliers big man Larry Nance, Jr. This season hasn’t exactly been an enjoyable one for the Cavs, and it’s safe to say Nance isn’t immune to the frustration inherently accompanying their struggles.

Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love has mostly been a non-factor this season due to toe surgery.

From being a Finals […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers did make a big trade before the February 7th deadline, but it wasn’t made to improve the team.
