Where LeBron and Kyrie bring home titles

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.

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. […]

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.

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 […]
