The Cavs Can Even Screw Up The Firing Of A Lousy Head Coach
What a weird, awkward situation they’re brewing up in Cleveland. The Cavs fired head coach Tyronn Lue Sunday morning, apparently without establishing whether their intended interim replacement was willing to accept the job, and now they appear to be gearing up the tank. Kevin Love is dead; they’ve s...
The Situation In Post-LeBron Cleveland Has Become Very Grim Very Quickly
Here is some fresh news about the Cleveland Cavaliers:...
Cavaliers Quickly Put Tyronn Lue Out Of His Post-LeBron Misery
Tyronn Lue coached the Cleveland Cavaliers for six games after LeBron James left for the Lakers. He didn’t win any of them. He won’t get to coach any more of them, either....
Trae Young Is Letting It Fly
Trae Young was a tempting punchline leading up to the draft, and even for sometime after. You can count me among those doubters, at least to the extent that I foresaw a future in which he the teeny depraved chucker would get steadily shredded on the other end of the floor. Which is to say, I foresaw...
J.R. Smith And Marcus Smart Are Keeping The Cavs-Celtics Rivalry Alive And Well
The NBA season doesn’t start for another nine days, but J.R. Smith and Marcus Smart are already back on their bullshit. In the first quarter(!) of last night’s Cavs-Celtics preseason game, Aron Baynes and J.R. Smith got into a scuffle when Baynes appeared to try and pull a Kelly Olynyk on Smith’s sh...
J.R. Smith Will Give Fan $600 For Tossing His Phone Into Construction Site
Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith, who will be startled some time in late November when he realizes he has inbounded the ball to Collin Sexton and not LeBron James, will pay a fan $600 after hurling the man’s phone into a Manhattan construction zone in late July. ...
Report: The NBA Will Fine J.R. Smith If He Doesn't Cover Up His "Supreme" Logo Tattoo Next Season
Wait a minute, this isn’t the NFL....
Tristan Thompson, Apparently Forgetting Everything That Happened This Summer, Talks Shit About East Contenders
LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer. You may have heard. He is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. His minutes on the Cavaliers will be used by some combination of Cedi Osman, Rodney Hood, and I guess David Nwaba. Here is video evidence that Tristan Thompson somehow managed to ...
Isaiah Thomas Says Cleveland, A Shithole, Is "Actually Cool"
Here is Isaiah Thomas, shouting out the various towns where he’s played in the NBA, and their fanbases. You will enjoy the part where he gets to Cleveland, unless you happen to feel any loyalty or affinity towards Cleveland:...
Draymond Green Issues Non-Denial Denial Of Tristan Thompson Fight, Drags Cleveland
Draymond Green, a living, breathing personification of a train horn—who can also effectively play all five positions on the basketball court—has come out with his first public statement since reports surfaced that he and Tristan Thompson got into a little bit of a scuffle at a party hosted by LeBro...
Reports: J.R. Smith Investigated For Chucking A Dude's Phone Outside A Bar
J.R. Smith doesn’t seem to have let fucking up the NBA Finals for LeBron stop him from enjoying his summer. According to TMZ and the New York Daily News, Smith was partying in New York this past weekend when he grabbed a nosy fan’s phone and hurled the damn thing into a construction zone. Now, he’s ...
Report: Tristan Thompson Hit Draymond Green With A "Face Mush" At LeBron James's Party
At an exclusive, post-ESPYs party hosted by LeBron James, Cavs big man Tristan Thompson and Warriors agitator Draymond Green reportedly got into a bit of a kerfuffle, which is not a very surprising thing to hear given how these two treated each other on the court during the NBA Finals. Bossip was th...
The Cavaliers Are Kevin Love's Team Now
With the Cavaliers’ title hopes whisked away by the hand of LeBron James, the Cavs were presented with an easy opportunity to clear the roster and start over. That would have started with them trading Kevin Love, the last remaining star on the team, who had one year left on his deal. But trade desti...
Collin Sexton's Summer League Crunch Time Defense Is Maybe Too Intense
Josh Hart and Collin Sexton had what looks like a decent duel in the semifinals of the NBA Summer League tournament last night. Hart went off for 37 points and nine rebounds in the Lakers’ 2OT win (nothing is more conceptually absurd than Summer League overtime), while Sexton had 27 points for the C...
Dan Gilbert Wrote LeBron James A Goodbye Letter, And It's Not Insane This Time
A lot has changed in the eight(!) years since LeBron James left the Cavaliers for the first time. The huge production of the The Decision was replaced with a grammatically suspect tweet. Cleveland has a championship. And Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, it seems, has grown out of Comic Sans....
LeBronWatch: My SUPER CREDIBLE SOURCES Say He’s Going To L.A.
Are you ready for breaking LeBron Watch news that will absolutely BLOW YOUR NUTS OFF UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY WISELY FIGURED OUT THAT THINGS WERE ALREADY HEADED THIS WAY? Good, because I have such news. Now listen, I know my track record predicting things is, uh, not exactly sterling here. But tonigh...
LeBronWatch: LeBron Hunkers Down In "Decision Cave" In The Caribbean
LeBron James deposited the Cavaliers (and probably the Rockets) in the trash can this morning and will become an unrestricted free agent, so expect LeBronWatch comes to a frenzied, frothy climax over the next few days. Leave it to the very frothiest, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, to report that LeBron Ja...
LeBronWatch: LeBron Officially A Free Agent
Folks, the thing all savvy LeBron Watchers knew was coming has indeed occurred. LeBron James has spiked the city of Cleveland back into the rubbish bin:...
LeBronWatch: Podcast Guest Thinks LeBron Has Narrowed It Down To Three Teams
LeBron James has until Friday to decide whether to opt in to the last year of his contract with the Cavaliers, or decline it and become an unrestricted free agent. As previous LeBronWatch entries have noted, LeBron plans to sign with the Lakers, Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Knicks next season, and he wil...
NBA Auctions Off What J.R. Smith Wore When He Lost What Was Left Of His Dignity
A token of J.R. Smith’s eternal shame is up for sale on the NBA’s auction site. “He played 38 minutes and registered 10 points with 2 assists and 6 rebounds,” reads the very charitable caption. In some sense, this is the greatest piece of LeBron James memorabilia that money could buy....
