LeBron's Going To Opt Out, But Don't Panic
Cleveland.com has an interesting look at the details of LeBron James's contract with the Cavaliers, and why it's a certainty that James is going to decline his player option this summer, and again the summer after that. It's flexibility, sure, but it's also tens of millions of dollars....
LeBron Acknowledges Cryptic Tweet Calling Out Kevin Love
The Cavaliers are back on that horse, having broken a worrying slump with a 13-1 run; early panic is a memory, and another deep playoff run looks probable. But all isn't well in Cleveland.

Clippers Meltdown Like Toddlers In Loss To Cavaliers
The Clippers were mauled in Cleveland tonight. They only lost by 105-94, but that is a deceptive result as they were down 31 after three quarters. The game was only misleadingly close because the Cavaliers sat their starters for the entire fourth quarter. It was the kind of game where the NBA puts...
Jimmy Haslam Is The Dented-Can Store Jerry Jones

Kyrie Irving Drops 55 Points, Hits Game-Winning Walk-Up Three
Maybe the Cavaliers are the pretty good team we all thought they would be and not actually doomed?

J.R. Smith: I'm Better Now Because I Can't Really Party In Cleveland
J.R. Smith has been pretty good since joining the Cleveland Cavaliers, scoring 14 points per game and shooting 37 percent from behind the arc.

At Least Cleveland Still Has Great Beer
The mayor of Boston went on CNN this morning to talk about a snowstorm that hadn't begun yet. That is insane. I realize part of my reaction is based on being old enough to remember when CNN trafficked in weightier matters than weather porn and celebrity gossip, and I also concede that the storm head...
LeBron Is Starting To Look Like His Old Self Again

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.

The Cavaliers Need LeBron Back In A Goddamn Hurry
The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their fifth straight game after getting thwacked by the Sacramento Kings last night.
