Cavs fans everywhere know the shooting ability of J.R. Smith. The streaky shooter can be hard to watch play when he can’t buy a bucket, but when he’s got it going, there’s nothing that can really stop him. In a recent interview with Cleveland.com, Smith touched on what it’s like for him when he’s hot: […]

The last calendar year has been a rough one for the then-Bucks Center Larry Sanders.

Today’s matchup against the Chicago Bulls left Cavs fans with an anxious feeling similar to the way they played about a month ago.

The soap opera side of the Cleveland Cavaliers season continued on Twitter this week, with LeBron James subliminally targeting Kevin Love and essentially calling him out on his perceived role on the team.

If you are from northeast Ohio and are a Cavs fan (you should be) like me, then you might be fascinated by the route that LeBron James has taken to get himself, the Cavaliers, and the city of Cleveland to the point that it’s at now. From state championships and Sports Illustrated covers to MVP’s […]

With Kyrie Irving’s recent 55-point explosion still fresh in our minds, we wanted to list down the ten best single game performances in Cavalier history and see how Uncle Drew’s Kyridiculous performance stacks up against the best that other Cavalier players past and present had to offer.

January was a tale of tales for the Cavaliers.

With the red hot Cavaliers looking more and more like legitimate championship contenders, as well as the recent acquisition and debut of defensive specialist Iman Shumpert, a question that hasn’t really been addressed arises: who will the Cavs have guard the biggest opposing offensive weapon in crucial situations down the stretch? In addition to Shumpert, […]

Kyrie Irving’s career is its own flavor. No playoff appearances? Win the FIBA World Cup MVP at the age of 22. Controversy over spot in list of Top 10 Point Guards? Releases his own shoe. Not named an All Star starter? Drops 55 on Damian Lillard. Last night was a night to remember in Cleveland, […]

On a night when LeBron James sat our with a sore wrist and only two of their players shot 50% or better from the field, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Portland Trailblazers 99-94 for their eight consecutive victory. The main reason for tonight’s victory was a Cavalier named Kyrie Irving, who exploded for a career […]

Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard. Two of the most dominant offensive point guards the NBA has seen. Both play similarly with their sweet stroke from outside all the way to their aggressiveness as well as craftiness when going inside. Tonight, the two take center-court when the Portland Trailblazers make their lone visit to Quicken Loans […]

Many predicted the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder were on a collision course to possibly meet in the NBA Finals before the start of the season. However, due to injuries or lack of chemistry, both teams haven’t lived up to some of the early yet enormous expectations. Luckily for the Cavs and the Thunder, […]

Kyrie Irving is widely viewed as one of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference alongside John Wall. After his second NBA All Star Game in 2014, one in which he was not only voted a starter, but also won the MVP award for his 33 point, 14 assist game in an East victory, […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their fifth straight game by dismantling the Charlotte Hornets at home tonight. It was the third and final meeting against the Hornets, who came in with a record of 18-25.

In many ways, the first half of the Cleveland Cavaliers season has left us with more questions than answers. While there is still plenty of basketball to be played, it’s never too early, especially in Cleveland, to make some spirited speculations as to how the rest of the season will play out. Here are our […]

Iman Shumpert was a part of a three-team trade that shocked NBA fans everywhere. Transitioning from the New York Knicks to the Cleveland Cavaliers was a big deal, literally! So what do we know about the 24 year old who stands at 6 ft. 5 inch, 220 lb. shooting guard/small forward with the funky 90’s […]

November 5th, 2003 was the day that one of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ biggest superstar made his home court debut against the Denver Nuggets. I’m speaking of Moondog, the Cavs mascot, of course. What, did you think I was talking about LeBron James? Even though LeBron steals most of the limelight, he’s small potatoes compared to […]

The Q is once again making some noise as the Cleveland Cavaliers have started to find their groove after GM David Griffin tinkered with the lineup to fill positions in question.

It’s back. Not the Cavs (realistic) championship expectations or even flawless, consistent basketball. That feeling of excitement, relieved tension and controversy. That moment when we feel prepared to stare down all the critics and media instigators and let the scoreboard do the talking. However, contrary to how well Cleveland has played on both ends of […]

By the end of the 2010-11 NBA season there was no doubt who the best Point Guard in the league was: Derrick Rose. He won the MVP that season, becoming the first PG since Steve Nash in 2006 to hoist the award and the third since 1973 to record 2,000 points and 600 assists in […]

Losing a game can be frustrating. Losing two consecutive games can be irritating. Losing six consecutive games is often times just deflating and worrisome.

15-26: The dismal record that the Cavs were at 41 games into the season a year ago.

Unlike last night’s game of multiple scoring runs against the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight’s game against the neighboring Clippers was a grind-it-out type of game and the Cavaliers came out the victors by a score of 126-121.

After Thursday’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Lakers, King James continued his reign on the Black Mamba, taking their 20th battle and extending his record against Kobe to 14-6.
