After a first quarter in which the Cleveland Cavaliers got utterly bludgeoned by the Brooklyn Nets, the young squad got their act together and put up an inspiring effort against their star-studded opponents. Despite getting doubled up in the first quarter (40-20) and ridiculous performances by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (a combined 59 points […]

It’s do or die for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night as they face the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Play-In Tournament. After narrowly losing to the Brooklyn Nets earlier in the week, the Cavs must win here in order to book their spot in the playoffs, where they would face the top-seeded Miami Heat. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have an important matchup against the Brooklyn Nets in the 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament. Cleveland was not expected to make it this far entering the season, as they have a young and inexperienced group. On the other side, Brooklyn was expected to be a top seed in the conference. Major changes were […]

First off, this Cavaliers season itself is the most surprising development. This is a team that soared to as high as the second seed in the East before an injuries-induced tumble. Regardless of what the final outcome is for Cleveland this year, it’s impossible not to leave this season thrilled for the future of this […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be playing one of the biggest games of their season on Friday when they take on Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. Right now, the Cavs hold a 1.5-game advantage over the Nets and a win will virtually guarantee Cleveland finishing as the seventh seed in the East. The Cavs have […]

It has been an up and down season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. JB Bickerstaff’s young squad has looked great at times, but also played poorly in other segments of 2021-22. But as the regular season comes to a close, the Cavaliers still have a lot to be happy about. Cleveland, remember, has already clinched its […]

At the moment, the quest for this season’s Rookie of the Year has become a two-horse race between Cleveland Cavaliers star Evan Mobley and Toronto Raptors youngster Scottie Barnes. At this point, though, it has become a bit of a lopsided race in favor of the Cavs big man. Kevin Love has chimed in on […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are fighting hard to secure a top-six spot in the East and avoid the play-in tournament, but it’s been difficult without their two twin towers in Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. However, it appears Mobley isn’t too far from returning to the fold for the Cavs. The rookie suffered a sprained ankle […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have fallen into a play-in spot after spending most of the season in the top-six in the East. 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 […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers were given a proper scare on Monday night after seeing star rookie Evan Mobley twist his left ankle during the second quarter of their matchup against the Orlando Magic. The initial update on the Cavs big man’s injury is relatively positive, but Mobley is not out of the woods just yet. According […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the team that surprised the world this year. Even though other teams, such as the Bulls and the Grizzlies, also exceeded expectations, the Cavs are really what took the NBA by storm. Right now, the Cavs are sitting at a 41-32 record, something no one could have seen before the season […]

  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 […]

There’s no denying that the Cleveland Cavaliers would not be where they are today without the strong play of Evan Mobley. The Cavs rookie may not be the best player on the team — although he has looked the part on more than a few occasions — it’s a known fact that Mobley has established […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers may have slid down the Eastern Conference standings but they are not wavering. With Jarrett Allen still sidelined indefinitely, the rest of the Cavs are stepping up. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen each recorded a 25-point double-double in the Cavs’ win over Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. The overtime […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have not fared very well in the absence of All-Star big man Jarrett Allen, who has been sidelined indefinitely due to a fractured finger on his left hand. In the three games that Allen has been out of action, the Cavs have gone 1-2 and it is clear that this team would […]

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen suffered a fracture on his left middle finger during Sunday’s win over the Toronto Raptors and is out indefinitely. Initially, Allen left in the first quarter due to a bruised quad and never returned. It was only after the game when the Cavaliers found out that the All-Star big man […]

Draymond Green is more than impressed by what Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley has been showing this 2021-22 season. In fact, the Golden State Warriors star predicts big things for the Cavs youngster in the near future. On Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, Mobely went beast mode and exploded for a monster double-double of 20 […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the right track this season, reemerging as a solid playoff contender in the Eastern Conference after many thought they would be one of the worst teams in the NBA in 2021-22. The Cavs currently own the No. 5 spot in the East with a 36-25 record, and they’ve managed this […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been nothing short of outstanding throughout the season and this is thanks in large part to the strong play of their prized rookie Evan Mobley. For his part, however, Cavs head coach J.B. Bickerstaff knows that the 20-year-old has much more in him — and this is exactly what Mobley’s coach […]

Let’s start off with a general rule of thumb: rookies almost always struggle in the NBA, even the very best ones. Jalen Green and Jalen Suggs, both top-five picks in last year’s draft, have tumbled out of the gates. It doesn’t mean they should see their stock take any significant hit, but it’s just how […]

Thanks to his strong play for the Cavs, Evan Mobley has emerged as the frontrunner to bag this season’s Rookie of the Year award. Cleveland’s third overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft has played a key role in the Cavs’ strong season and it comes as no surprise that he’s currently the favorite to […]

Evan Mobley of the Cleveland Cavaliers came up big for the home crowd as he nailed an epic half-court shot to win Saturday night’s NBA All-Star Skills Challenge. There was a lot of pressure on the Cavs rookie, but he made the shot regardless. Here’s a look at Mobley’s challenge-winning half-court triple. Note that he […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been arguably the biggest surprise in the Association this season and even Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green thinks so. The veteran sat down with media at All-Star Weekend in Believeland and had nothing but good things to say about the Darius Garland-led Cavs, who are currently in third spot in […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are done playing basketball as a team until after the All-Star break. As the festivities make the way over to Cleveland for the weekend, the hometown team is sitting pretty as a top-four seed in the East. Before the season began, the Cavs were a near-consensus pick to be among the worst […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers put up a strong effort but ultimately fell short against the Houston Rockets, 115-104 on Wednesday night. The competitive game was also a showcase for two of the NBA’s top rookies in Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley and Rockets guard Jalen Green. Both balled out, but it was Mobley, who was drafted behind […]

Catch our #CloroxRisingStars shining in @RMFieldHouse on […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ surprising rise continues this season. A team considered to be in their “rebuilding” phase has been completely ahead of their schedule. A hot start to their season and sustained production has been key to them retaining the fourth seed in a highly-competitive Eastern Conference. A lot of the Cavs’ success this season […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are flying high this season as they currently sit in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 30-19 record. However, the Cavs have dealt with their fair share of injuries, with two backcourt figures in Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio going on the shelf. That being said, Cleveland has been granted […]

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, the Cleveland Cavaliers are legit. One of the biggest drivers of their surprising resurgence this season is rookie big man Evan Mobley.

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley is in the midst of a terrific rookie campaign. However, he was forced to miss time recently after a bout with COVID-19. Since he’s come back though, the Cavs star has been playing at an extremely high level, especially when it comes to using his physicality to get it […]

Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley has made his presence felt in the NBA already, helping lead the Cavs to a surprising 20-15 record and staking his claim as the Rookie of the Year frontrunner. On Thursday night in the nation’s capital, Mobley showed just one reason why he’s so special. Just take a look at […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have shed the early-season surprise label. They’re legit. At 20-13 through 33 games, they’ve established themselves as one of the Eastern Conference’s best teams. However, nobody say it coming in the offseason. Critics weren’t just skeptical, they were outright dismissive as evidenced by the Vegas odds for them to make the postseason. […]

The Cleveland Cavs have been no stranger to both injuries and COVID-related absences this season. The Cavs lost guard Collin Sexton for the season to a meniscus tear in his left knee, then experienced the absences of key contributors Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman due to the health and safety protocols. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a very impressive campaign, proving to be one of the most surprising teams in the entire NBA. A big reason for their hot start is head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who is shaping up to be the right man for the job after years of disappointment in the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a revelation this season, currently sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 19-13 record. A big reason for their early success is their Big 3 (literally) of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and Lauri Markkanen. The Cavs tend to go big with their starting five and all these […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are actively surprising everyone in 2021-22. J.B. Bickerstaff’s upstart squad is 19-12 more than a third of the way into the regular season and is clearly to be a factor in the East. However, as with more or less every team in the NBA, the COVID-19 positive tests have ruined the mood […]

It did not feel like it, but Evan Mobley was unable to suit up for the Cleveland Cavaliers during Wednesday’s blowout win over the Houston Rockets. The Cavs absolutely destroyed the Rockets, 124-89, that it didn’t seem as though they missed the services of their highly-touted rookie. Mobley missed his fifth game of the campaign […]
