Kobe And LeBron Spent A Great Game Being Old And Having Fun
They've both been banged-up, they've been frustrated, their supporting casts not carrying the load of some of the great teammates of the past, and if last night's Cavaliers win over the Lakers brought out the best in Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, the whole thing had the melancholy tinge of a World...

Report: Cavaliers Players Ignore, Openly Gripe About David Blatt
The Cleveland Cavaliers, with LeBron James back and their starting five finally intact, got smoked by the Phoenix Suns last night.

J.R. Smith's Debut As A Cavalier Was Only Fun For J.R. Smith

LeBron James will miss the next two weeks with left knee and low back strains, the Cleveland Cavaliers announced today. James has not played in a game since turning 30 on Dec. 30. He aggravated the knee — which he says has been sore all year — jumping into the stands in Miami on Christmas. ...

Let The "LeBron Might Leave Us Again!" Freakout Begin
It's funny to consider how quickly things have snowballed for the Cleveland Cavaliers. On Sunday morning, they were a super-talented team that was still figuring things out and waiting to hit their stride. One brutal loss to the Pistons later, and there's talk that head coach David Blatt has lost th...

David Blatt Is Officially On Notice

LeBron Can't Finish At The Rim, And It's Sad
As you may have noticed, the Cleveland Cavaliers kind of stink right now, and there are many things—Kevin Love playing some of the worst ball of his career, their extremely leaky defense, an old and shallow bench—one can point to while trying to explain why. But one of the more alarming developments...

The Cavaliers Are Stinking Out The Joint
The Cavs got their asses kicked inside-out by the terrible, terrible Pistons last night, 103-80, in Cleveland. They're 18-12 on the season, 5-5 in their last 10 games, fifth in the woeful Eastern Conference. They stink....

Andrew Wiggins Dunking On Him Is A Metaphor For Kevin Love's Season
Andrew Wiggins had one of his best game as a pro tonight against the team that drafted him first and then traded him away, punctuating his 27 points with this thundering tomahawk jam that Kevin Love—who Wiggins was traded for—wanted no part of. Of course, the Timberwolves lost by 20 because they a...

The Cavs' Outlet Passes Are A Damn Good Time
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in a nice little groove lately, following up that four-game losing streak in which they looked like a sluggish, boring basketball team with a 9-2 run.

Kyrie Irving Helped To Locker Room After Injuring Leg
Kyrie Irving had to be helped to the locker room in the second quarter of tonight's game against the Thunder, after seemingly suffering a knee or leg injury.

LeBron, Irving, Garnett, Others Wear "I Can't Breathe" T-Shirts
If you don't like serious cultural issues "intruding" into the sports world, it's going to be another tough week for you.

It's So Fun To Watch Kyrie Irving Make People Look Dumb
Last night's nationally televised game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was pretty stinky.

Hey, Man, LeBron James Would Really Like It If You Would Just Cut
