Kevin Love’s time in Cleveland has been called uncertain and unproductive on average.

Last night, after breaking a […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers had an outstanding postseason last year, not only because they won the NBA Championship, but because they also broke some incredible records.

Kyrie Irving has taken the responsibility and blame for some of the Cavaliers’ poor fourth quarter performances so far this season.

Kevin Love has started this season out very aggressive for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
