It’s a never ending cycle with the King; With the recent back-to-back NBA Finals losses in 2014 and 2015, as well as another incredible challenge in this 2016 NBA Finals, the haters and […]

Just breathe. Cleveland and its Cavaliers can attest to the gravity of falling behind two games in the NBA Finals after losing just two all postseason. But no one can describe Golden State’s quick start as shocking. The truth is that Cleveland, one of the hottest teams to enter the Finals since Michael Jordan’s 1996 […]

Kevin Love was put under the concussion protocol for the elbow he received in the first half of Game 2.

The 2011 NBA Draft was quote the talented bunch. Kyrie Irving at number one, Enes Kanter at three, Tristan Thompson at four, Jonas Valanciunas at five, Bismack Biyombo at seven, and Klay Thompson at pick number 11.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals is on Wednesday and no team in NBA history has ever come back from an 0-3 series deficit before. With the Cavs down 0-2 after losing Games 1 and 2 by a combined 48 points, it’s almost an understatement to say that Game 3 is a must win, but […]

The Cavaliers haven’t been playing their brand of basketball in the NBA Finals, and a lot of that has to do with the incredible intensity on both offense and defense from the Golden State Warriors. Although they’re down 0-2, the Cavs are now back home with a chance to pick up a game in this […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been manhandled so far in these NBA Finals, and nearly everyone has written them off. After two games in which they both lost, the Cavs looked like they don’t belong in this stage.

There’s no easy way to put it. The Cavs put up a shocking and embarrassing performance in Game 2, possibly one of the worst games in my recent NBA Finals memory.

LeBron James has had a career full of success, putting up incredible performances, passing all-time greats on statistical scoring lists, and winning rings.

Channing Frye has been an outstanding sharpshooter off the bench for the Cavs. With the exception of Game 1 of the Detroit Pistons series all the way back in mid-April, Frye has come in off the bench and forced opponents to gameplan for him thanks to the lineup that involves LeBron James and Matthew Dellavedova. […]

Matthew Dellavedova was the center of attention after Game 1 of the NBA Finals last night, mainly for the incidental groin hit to Andre Iguodala. The situation drew a crowd of players trying to calm Iguodala down and pull Delly away from the scrum, and after reviewing the play for several minutes, the officials called […]

In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, J.R. Smith was essentially a no-show. He had just three points tonight on 1-of-3 shooting from the field (all from downtown) in a whopping 36 minutes. It’s safe to say he didn’t look for his shot at all, and simply took what was wide open for him. The […]

Draymond Green has been the dirtiest player of this last series and possibly this postseason.

The picture of Kevin Love helplessly sitting on the bench as the Golden State Warriors ran roughshod over a depleted Cleveland Cavaliers team last year, the missing presence of Kyrie Irving, the image of LeBron James shaking Stephen Curry’s hand, and the smell of champagne from the visitors’ locker room at the Quicken Loans Arena.

Still hot on closing out the promise he made the city of Cleveland, LeBron James has his Cleveland Cavaliers back in the NBA Finals. For now we wait to see who the King’s prey will be. Will it be Kevin Durant’s shot to redeem his 2012 Finals loss, or will it be the Cavaliers shot […]

It’s not uncommon to see championship contenders trade for or pick up players that will give them that “one missing piece.” For the Cavs it was Channing Frye, acquired at the trade deadline buzzer in mid-February, and he’s been an absolute godsend.
