Where LeBron and Kyrie bring home titles
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t really have anything to really play for. Home court in the first round is secured, and they’re better off not moving up from the fourth seed to the third. Additionally, they’re facing the Atlanta Hawks for two of their final three games — their likely first-round opponent. Those facts […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers won a statement game against the Atlanta Hawks. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block This was a team effort, but Mitchell truly stole the show. His isolation scoring is on par with just about anyone in the […]
Donovan Mitchell scored 31 points, Evan Mobley had 22 points and 19 rebounds, and the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 122-116 in a wild contest that saw both teams carry double-digit leads.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took down the Atlanta Hawks in a potential playoff preview. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Cross-Matching The Cavs started this game by throwing a wicked curveball at the Hawks.

The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have much to play for with three games left in the season. Their playoff seeding seems mostly set. But as of now, it appears they’re going to give it their best shot in what could be their first-round opponent — the Atlanta Hawks. This should be a good test to see […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have much to play for at this time of the season. They’ve secured home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs and don’t have much of a chance of moving up from the fourth spot to the third with three games left in the season. As of now, that doesn’t […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers took care of business as they dispatched the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126. This felt like a preseason game. The Cavs chose to give nearly all of their regular rotation players who played the night before against the Indiana Pacers the night off. They were without Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Thomas Bryant, and Max […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three straight games. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. NOTE: I retroactively took half a grade away from everyone tonight for the three-point defense. That’s what happens when your opponent matches the NBA record for threes made. Jarrett Allen 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, […]
Evan Mobley scored 24 points, Sam Merrill added 21, and the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled away from the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126 for their 50th win of the season. Jarrett Allen returned to the starting lineup after resting Sunday night against Indiana, scoring 13 points and blocking two shots. The Cavs’ bench did their part too, with […]
A shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Memphis Grizzlies on the second night of a back-to-back. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers.

For the second straight day, a skeleton-crew version of the Cleveland Cavaliers is taking on a more skeleton crew version of the Memphis Grizzlies. Cleveland will be without Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, and Max Strus. They will, however, have Sam Merrill, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley. Share your thoughts as the game unfolds. If you […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to pick up their second win in as many nights as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies on the tail end of a back-to-back. Like Sunday evening, the Cavs are resting several players with the playoffs fast approaching and their position mostly locked up. The Cavaliers are coming into this […]
CLEVELAND — It wasn’t pretty, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to escape with a 117-108 win over the Indiana Pacers. Thomas Bryant said something in the locker room before Sunday’s game that presumably got the team fired up. Although neither he, James Harden, nor Donovan Mitchell would reveal what that was. “I’m not saying […]
Donovan Mitchell led all scorers with 38 points and James Harden poured in 28 as the Cleveland Cavaliers let their star-studded backcourt carry the team past the Indiana Pacers 117-108. Obi Toppin and Micah Potter led the way for Indiana with 21 points each. In what has become a tradition for the Cavs this season, […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers on Easter Sunday. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 38 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal This was the Donovan Mitchell show. He set the tone immediately by attacking the paint on every other possession. Mitchell ended the game with […]
A shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers beat an even more depleted Indiana Pacers team. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Next Man Up This was one of the larger injury reports you’ll see for an NBA game. That’s saying something in today’s age. Cleveland wasn’t as banged up as the Pacers, who were missing […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had many opportunities to see how this team looks when it’s at — or even near — full strength. That’s one of the downsides to having a team undergo renovations at the trade deadline. As of now, head coach Kenny Atkinson still doesn’t know who the starting small forward […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are racing to the finish line. With just a week before the regular season ends, the team is still waiting on two of its most important players to return to action. Dean Wade and Jaylon Tyson both missed Cleveland’s recent trip to the West Coast. Wade is out with an ankle injury […]
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been in the news for some of his recent comments during an appearance on a Bob Does Sports YouTube video. James criticized Memphis and Milwaukee as cities he doesn’t like to play in. And in an effort to explain what he meant by those comments on Saturday, he […]
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made headlines for signaling out Memphis and Milwaukee as places he doesn’t enjoy playing when he was on a golf YouTube video with Bob Does Sports. Those comments — particularly saying he doesn’t enjoy playing in Memphis — made people angry. “A random f***** Tuesday in Milwaukee,” James said […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will be starting the first round of the playoffs in two weeks. There isn’t much left to prove in the regular season. Their number one focus is making sure they’re healthy for the playoffs. As a result, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they will be without multiple key players for […]
