This Was One Rough Night For The Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have now lost five of their last seven games, but none of those losses has come close to being so ugly as tonight. It’s grossly obvious in the final score—127-99, Timberwolves—but it was obvious in just about every single moment prior, with Minnesota scoring first and never relinquishi...
Yeah, Kyrie Was Ready To Get Away From LeBron<em></em>
Tonight the Celtics and Cavaliers will meet for the second time this season, and ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan marked the rematch of the East’s two best teams with a feature on Kyrie Irving. Irving’s first half-season out from under LeBron James has been an unquestioned success, an especially impressive f...
Isaiah Thomas Back?

Leaked Chinese Footage Unearths LeBron's Coded Message To Lonzo Ball: Try Hard And Focus

The Cavs Are Having So Much Fun
We talk about LeBron James and his team pretty often around here, but their 123-114 win over Atlanta tonight (not as close as it appears) was yet another reminder of how the King can take your breath away.

LeBron Was Extremely LeBron Tonight
Here is a staggering stat that only makes sense when you know it’s about LeBron James: Heading into tonight, King James had fallen one rebound or one assist shy of a triple-double 34 times. (He has 57 legit triple-doubles throughout his career as well.) He was just short of that mark again tonight a...
LeBron James Has Realized The Limits Of Human Empathy
Today LeBron James spoke briefly about the grim saga of Derrick Rose, whose desiccated body drifted back to Cleveland this morning.

Kyle Korver's Fourth Quarter Got The Cavaliers There
Tonight’s first half between the Knicks and Cavaliers inspired a bit of feeling that the Knicks might really be here: that their young talent could gel well enough to take down a top-tier talent like Cleveland, that Frank Ntilikina could be bold enough to shove LeBron around a little, that the team ...
Come, Bask In The Glow Of A Beautiful Moment

Giannis Antetokounmpo Denied By Older, Smaller Opponent<em></em>
Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in another monstrous night against the Cavs, scoring 40 points on 16-21 shooting. But this was not one of his finer moments. The Greek Freak looked guaranteed to score when he got the ball right under the basket, with only Dwyane Wade anywhere near him....
