The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Ricky Rubio last season to bolster their playmaking depth alongside Darius Garland.

The Spanish floor general proceeded to have a huge impact off the Cavs bench, […]

In an alternate universe, Donovan Mitchell would have been on the opposing side of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Sunday tilt against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden.

Bickerstaff said in a […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are completely living up to the hype they got after the Donovan Mitchell trade. Many expected this team to be one of the better squads in the Eastern Conference.

It looks like Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell is integrating himself into the Cleveland community quite well. In fact, his latest move with Darius Garland and Isaac Okoro will only draw more appreciation from the fans.

But […]

If Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley’s role in one of the more efficient offenses in the NBA continues to see new heights as he earns more confidence from head coach JB Bickerstaff, the 21-year-old Cavs forward could soon get the green light to shoot nearly any shot he possibly can. “We want (Evan Mobley) to […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert’s benching was never a one-sided decision, the guard said following a Wednesday practice. “It was kind of mutual,” LeVert said, adding he wanted to come off the bench for the Cavaliers.

His Cavaliers just needed a few more pieces to make them one of the most exciting up-and-coming teams in the Central Division and beyond. “We’re ready to take that next […]

Even when everything seemed to go right, the Cleveland Cavaliers still ended up wrong against the Toronto Raptors.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman got several people thinking he’s an alien after he discharged some yellow fluid on the court during their game against the Detroit Pistons.

It’s no surprise that Cedi Osman is currently being linked to a move away from the Cleveland Cavaliers as the February trade deadline approaches.

In the blink of an eye, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell stole forward Evan Mobley’s mark of another dominant Cavs game in what would have been the second-year forward’s 28th double-double of young his career. Fresh off of a team-leading 29-point game in a 114-102 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Donovan Mitchell snatched a defensive […]

Despite the fact that the game has changed significantly over the past decade or so, there’s no denying that there has been a renaissance for the NBA big man. The fact that it was Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid who battled it out for last season’s MVP trophy is a clear testament to this fact. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have cooled off recently after a scorching hot start to the season, but they still look like one of the top teams in the league in the early going.

Both Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and guard Darius Garland can always seem to agree on one thing: forward Evan Mobley’s impact on the court can go far beyond what his box score numbers show every night. “This is something that we should all watch and pay attention to, and it’s a conversation we […]

He’s said it twice, and he’ll likely say it again. Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen can be the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year. “I’ve made this point before,” head coach J.B. Bickerstaff told the media in a Monday evening press conference. “(Jarrett Allen) is a DPOY-caliber player. “If you take that away, it’ll obviously […]

It was a game even Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff thought was a little too close for comfort. “Plenty,” Bickerstaff said when asked how much tea he would be drinking that night. “Amongst other things.” Even with the team’s late-game struggles in a 10-point win over the Charlotte Hornets, Cavs guard Darius Garland said […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers just snapped a five-game slump with a win over the hapless Charlotte Hornets. That’s a good thing, but remember that the Cavs needed not one but two overtimes to beat one of the worst teams in the entire league. That’s not a good sign moving forward, especially with the Cavs set to […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally snapped their five-game losing streak on Friday with a massive overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets, 132-122.

There […]

From one night to the next, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lamar Stevens has only improved since first stepping onto the court this season in a 32-point Cavs win over the Chicago Bulls. Still, even after earning a career-high four blocks against forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, the 25-year-old forward and Cavs head coach JB […]

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach JB Bickerstaff almost looked nervous when he spoke to media members shortly after a 114-100 Cavs win over the Los Angeles Lakers, highlighting the team’s lack of defensive physicality and inconsistent shooting rhythms following the team’s eighth-straight victory on what looked to be the path towards many more. When it took […]
