Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue decided to go with Kevin Love at the center position in Monday’s game against the Golden State Warriors. It’s a role the former UCLA stand-out is becoming increasingly familiar with, and one in which he continues to perform exceedingly well. Love turned in another great score card on Monday, […]

After a solid first two seasons in the NBA, Kevin Love raised his game to an even higher level in his third year, recording career highs across the board, and establishing himself as one of the rising stars of the league that time. The former UCLA star notched 53 consecutive double-doubles, which is the longest […]

Prior to the start of the 2017-18 season, the NBA made some major alterations to the All-Star Game format by changing it to a draft layout for choosing both teams. This has put in play many possibilities for players from both conferences being on the same team that would not have been able to under […]

The 24-9 Cleveland Cavaliers are missing some key players, but they continue to pile up wins. LeBron James has been playing so well to at least be in MVP conversations, while several other players have been stepping up for the Cavs. Among them is Kevin Love, who’s become Cleveland’s second-best player with Kyrie Irving now […]

Thanks in large part to Kevin Love’s accuracy from the field (as well as his prowess on the glass), the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently riding the wave of a 12-game winning streak (longest active streak in the NBA). Love, now 29 years of age, has caught his fair share of flack from naysayers over the […]

As mentioned before by Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon, the Cavaliers are one of the teams in talks to acquire star center DeAndre Jordan from the LA Clippers. The most likely trade is involving a package centered around Tristan Thompson, Cedi Osman, and the Cavs own 2018 first-round draft pick. The only thing off of the table […]

In early November, Eric Bledsoe was traded from Phoenix to Milwaukee in exchange for Greg Monroe, a first-round pick, and a protected second-round pick. While the Cavs were rumored to have interest in Bledsoe, no deal materialized. However, Cleveland should have interest in Monroe, provided he is attainable. One of the Cavs’ biggest weaknesses currently […]

Kevin Love apologized to LeBron James after a subpar individual performance against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, as the stretch four found himself banging bodies with The Process and never really getting into a groove at either end of the floor despite a 22-point win over the Sixers. It’s no secret that Love […]

As it stands right now, the Nets […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to roll after having won their seventh straight game in a 100-99 nailbiter versus the Charlotte Hornets. It was an unconventional game for the Cavs, who seemed to be more focused on defense than on offense down the final stretch of the game. Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue was pleased with […]

As they have on several occasions this season, the Cavs got off to an ugly start in Wednesday night’s home game against the Nets — a point that Kevin Love pointed out during his locker room availability. However, thanks to a Herculean fourth quarter effort from LeBron James, Cleveland managed to walk away with their […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have gotten off to a rocky start to the season currently sitting with an under .500 record through the first 14 games played. This has brought forth concerns about the Cavaliers’ ability to turn it around and become a championship caliber team. According to Howard Beck of Bleacher Report, another team executive […]

Kevin Love turned a lot of heads with the performance he had on Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite needing to go to the hospital following their previous game, he proved he was back to 100 percent, by posting an impressive stat line, and helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win their fifth game this season. […]

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love went from taking a trip to the hospital to recording one of the most spectacular performances by a big man in this young NBA season.

Cleveland’s feelings can be summarized by LeBron James’ last tweet. We’re in the mood for some pindowns as the Cavs host the Milwaukee Bucks and hope to improve to 5-6. Cavs forced early foul trouble and found the bonus 2.5 minutes into the game. Out of 32 attempts against Milwaukee in five quarters, the Cavs […]

With a sluggish start of 4-6 and no team respecting them on defense, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in an obvious rut. After trading away disgruntled point guard Kyrie Irving and reloading the team through the trade and free agency, many picked the Cavs to play like an All-Star Team with their roster. But, the only […]

After Sunday afternoon’s 117-115 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Cleveland Cavaliers have now lost five of their last six games. There have been several contributing factors in the Cavs’ recent slump — maybe none more prevalent than their slow starts and lack of first unit production.

Yesterday, half way through another mediocre start against a mediocre team, the Cavaliers found themselves in another hole. Having now dropped five of their last six games, Cavs fans have felt uncomfortable to their stomach. By halftime, a struggling Kevin Love literally felt that discomfort.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love wasn’t a big help to his team Sunday when the Cavs lost to the Atlanta Hawks, 117-115.

Our […]

The ongoing World Series matchup between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers has drawn attention because of other events beyond baseball. That’s Astros first baseman’s Yuli Gurriel’s racial gesture that seemingly mocked Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish during Houston’ 2-1 win in Game 3. Gurriel’s action led MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to make the […]

It’s been three days since the Wine and Gold suited up, but they’re in for a back-to-back (third of the season) beginning tonight in New Orleans and concluding tomorrow at home against the Knickerbockers.

With the 2017-18 NBA season almost upon us, this year’s Cleveland Cavaliers squad has been touted as one of the best teams in franchise history due to the fact that the team looks like an All-Star team, with players like Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Isaiah Thomas joining over the summer.

Richard Jefferson played just an average of 19.2 minutes and put up a paltry 5.6 point per game in the two seasons he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but judging on how the tributes have been lining up at the doorstep of the 37-year-old veteran, it’s safe to say that Jefferson was valued by the […]
