Where LeBron and Kyrie bring home titles
Expectations are the quickest path to disappointment. The Cleveland Cavaliers have learned that lesson the hard way. Evan Mobley entered the 2025-26 NBA season with a bar that might have been too high to clear. Offseason buzz and previous success led to Mobley becoming a dark-horse contender for MVP. An award that’s exclusively won by […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to finish off this three-game road trip with three-straight wins. Like the other two teams the Cavs have already faced, their opponent on Saturday — the New Orleans Pelicans — isn’t exactly playing their best basketball. The Pelicans aren’t tanking. They don’t have their 2026 first after trading it away […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers drastically changed their contention window when they traded Darius Garland for James Harden in February. Based on a recent article from ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the Cavs may have an opportunity to accelerate their timeline even more this summer. The Milwaukee Bucks are at a crossroads.

His heliocentric control of the […]

The Cavs bounced back from a disappointing loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday with a win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The defense in Tuesday’s win wasn’t perfect. There were still a few […]
Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden is the best pick-and-roll player of this generation. He’s developed seemingly instant chemistry with his various pick-and-roll partners throughout his career. The key to Harden’s success is two-fold. First, he’s incredibly skilled. Harden can make every pass on the court, creates space with his lateral quickness, has excellent touch, and […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a much different team now than they were at the beginning of the season. They came into this year with Darius Garland, Lonzo Ball, and De’Andre Hunter as integral parts of the team. Those three were shipped out at the deadline in exchange for James Harden, Dennis Schroder, and Keon Ellis. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers did just enough to outscore a bad Milwaukee Bucks team 123-116 that was without two of their best players, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. It’s difficult to be too positive about the overall effort after a game like this, even though it’s an improvement from Sunday’s disappointing loss to the Dallas Mavericks. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers picked up a win on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. LOSER – Perimeter Defense I’m not sure how this gets better. Cleveland’s shown a general lack of interest in defending the perimeter this season. It’s probably due to a combination of poor effort and […]

Max Strus finally returned to the court for the Cleveland Cavaliers this past Sunday after missing the entire season to this point with a Jones fracture. While it didn’t come in a win, his return looked about as positive an outcome as the team, the player, and the fans could have hoped for. Average Player […]
It’s been a month and a half since the Cleveland Cavaliers traded for James Harden. So far, the results have pretty good. The Cavs won their first five games with Harden in the lineup. Since that time, he’s broken a finger, and the team has lost four of their last nine games with him. The […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to bounce back from an awful loss to the Dallas Mavericks as they take on the Milwaukee Bucks on the road. The Cavaliers have fallen on hard times. They’ve lost three out of their last five games. That stretch has coincided with Jarrett Allen being out. His absence has been […]
Tuesday’s matchup will be the fourth and final time the Cleveland Cavaliers will take on the Milwaukee Bucks. So far, the Cavs have only had to deal with Giannis Antetokounmpo in one and a half of those games. They could be avoiding him again on Tuesday. The Bucks have listed Antetokounmpo as questionable for Tuesday’s […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t looked like the same team in the last five games without Jarrett Allen. Unfortunately for the Cavs, they will have at least a few more games without their starting center. The team released a statement on Monday evening that Allen would be out for all three games during the Cavs’ upcoming […]
CLEVELAND — There weren’t a lot of good things to take away from the Cleveland Cavaliers embarassing 130-120 loss to the tanking Dallas Mavericks. Max Strus’s 24-point season debut was one of them. Strus looked like he hadn’t missed a beat as he drained six of his seven threes. More than that, he provided help […]
CLEVELAND — Max Strus was the last Cleveland Cavaliers player in uniform after the game was long over. Maybe that was just a coincidence, but it didn’t feel like it. This was a man who was glad to be back playing basketball after not doing so in an NBA game since May 11. Once Strus […]
