Kyrie Irving Created Another Beautiful Layup Masterpiece

Kyrie Irving somehow managed to shake Rodney McGruder, skip his way to the hoop, and deliver a gem of a reverse layup during tonight’s game against the Heat.

J.R. Smith Escorted Off Court By Security At End Of Cavaliers' Loss To Heat

J.R. Smith has been sidelined with a thumb injury since December, but he’s apparently very ready right now to jump into things. Case in point: last night, when he got heated at the end of the Cavaliers-Heat game after watching Rodney McGruder dunk on Channing Frye toward the end of Miami’s blowout win. Tempers flared…

LeBron Nearly Took Out Bill Belichick

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was in attendance for last night’s 103-99 Celtics win over the Cavs, and he had good seats:

Deron Williams Wasted The Best Pass A General Manager Has Ever Thrown Him

In his first game with the Cleveland Cavaliers since being signed two days ago, Deron Williams scored four points on 2-for-8 shooting in 24 minutes, recording two rebounds and two assists. It would have been an utterly bland outing … had it not been for his missed, game-costing shot in the final seconds of the…

LeBron Was Everywhere Tonight, As Usual

For the first time since LeBron returned to Cleveland, the rest of the Eastern Conference is not quaking in utter fear of the Cavaliers. Toronto just traded for Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker, and they clearly think they might have a chance to give the Cavs a run. Kevin Love is hurt and may not be back until the…

Charles Oakley To Attend His First Post-Arrest Knicks Game In Cleveland Tonight

Dan Gilbert is a piece of shit—a slave master mentality-having grifter with skin as thick as tracing paper. That said, let’s laugh at this funny thing he’s doing by reportedly inviting Charles Oakley to tonight’s Cavaliers-Knicks game.

Kyrie Irving Really, Actually, Earnestly Believes The Earth Is Flat

Kyrie Irving is a multimillionaire with any number of informational and educational resources available to him. He has spent time at one of the country’s best universities and repeatedly said he wants to work through the next few summers to graduate with his degree. And he appears to seriously and sincerely—without a…

How In The World Did LeBron Make This Pass?

A half-baked theory: LeBron saw John Wall’s otherworldy self-nutmeg pass last night and decided to one-up him tonight. And, uh, yeah he sure did.

Tyronn Lue Can Do A Solid Tom Thibodeau Impersonation

Before the Cavs-Wolves game started tonight, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue graced us with his Tom Thibodeau impersonation. Fittingly, it was mostly grunts.

Kevin Love To Miss Six Weeks After Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

The Cleveland Cavaliers announced today that forward Kevin Love would miss an estimated six weeks, after undergoing “arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body from his left knee.”

Kyrie Irving Did Whatever He Wanted With The Basketball

From the very first possession of the game, you knew Kyrie had the ball on its usual leash. He flies past Russell Westbrook off a pick, loses control and more or less rolls the ball across the paint, then resettles in the corner and loops back around to the arc. By now he’s cut an odd path through the court—a Family…

Cavaliers Show Off Everything That's Terrifying About Their Offense In One Play

Since dropping a bizarre overtime game to the lowly Sacramento Kings, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have righted the ship (on-court, anyway). They’ve gone 6-1 over their past seven and beat a Wizards team playing its best ball of the season earlier this week. For all the legitimate handwringing about the…

Dan Gilbert Offers To Trade Wayne County A New Jail For MLS Stadium Land

Dan Gilbert—Cavaliers owner, comic sans enthusiast, and predatory lending magnate—recently submitted a bid with Pistons owner Tom Gores (who he partnered with last year) for an MLS expansion team in Detroit. Part of that bid was the outline of a stadium plan. Gilbert and Gores don’t have a stadium deal in place,…

LeBron Says Carmelo-For-Love Trade Rumor Is "Trash," Reporter "Is Trash Too"

What do we know? We know Phil Jackson wants to move Carmelo Anthony before this month’s trade deadline. We know player/coach/GM LeBron James wants the Cavs to make a move to get better ahead of another title push. We know the Knicks are big on Kevin Love, even though a Love-for-Melo swap doesn’t really make any sense…

The Wizards Are For Real

Take heart, D.C. fans. Sometimes the best basketball player alive is just gonna throw in a one-legged 25-foot turnaround fallaway jumper high off the glass to tie the game with 0.3 seconds left in regulation in your building. It happens! Or anyway, it happened.

Holy Shit, LeBron

LeBron James forced overtime against Washington with a shot that ranks among the most legendary in his career. Incredible.

Report: Jordan Farmar Floated To The Top Of The Toilet Bowl

On Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers went about sorting through a bunch of crap in an attempt to find LeBron James a reliable playmaker who can come off the bench. The tryout was attended by the likes of Lance Stephenson, Kirk Hinrich, and Mario Chalmers, but according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the standout performer…

LeBron Will Find His Extra Playmaker In The Toilet

The Cleveland Cavaliers lost again last night, to the shit-ass Dallas Mavericks, dropping to 7-8 in January. LeBron’s fed up! With Charles Barkley, for one thing, but also and more importantly, with not having any reliable playmakers on the bench who can take some pressure off of him and Kyrie Irving so that they can…

Report: LeBron James Wants The Cavaliers To Increase Payroll

LeBron James’s ongoing displeasure with the Cavaliers is apparently over what he perceives to be not enough spending on payroll by team owner Dan Gilbert, according to a report from Brian Windhorst.

The Cavaliers' Bad Week Just Got Worse

What’s a bad way for the Cleveland Cavaliers to follow up a 2-5 lull and a very public callout of the front office?

Dan Gilbert Has Had It Up To Here With These Landlines That Won't Receive His Text Messages

This weekend, the New York Times published an article on Dan Gilbert and his scam mortgage factory, Quicken Loans. It reads like a typical Times business article for the most part, but whenever it touches on Gilbert himself, he comes off as a paranoid business guy keen on digging up conspiracies against him.

What, Exactly, Does LeBron James Want From His Front Office?

The Cavs have dropped five of their last seven, and their king is heated. You might be too, if you were the linchpin of a defending champion, suddenly forced to log 44 minutes in mid-January just to lose to the Pelicans sans Anthony Davis. That’s a bleak scenario for the game’s best player.

Draymond Green: Actually, Yes, Cavs-Warriors Is A Rivalry

This is a silly thing to discuss, granted, but it is a long season and we need something to sustain us after the Warriors and Cavaliers met for the final time—until June, we hope and pray, at which time everything that’s been said by everyone on either time will be dredged up and injected into the most narrative-laden…

The Warriors Turned The Cavaliers To Ash

With three-and-a-half minutes remaining in the second quarter, LeBron James had his Cavaliers 14 points behind the Warriors. Cleveland recovered from their largest first quarter deficit of the season by slowing the game to a grind and stubbornly parking themselves at the free throw line. The Warriors got that lead by…

Mike Dunleavy Really Doesn't Want To Play For The Hawks

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade for Kyle Korver became official over the weekend, with the Cavs sending Mo Williams, Mike Dunleavy, and a future first-round pick to Atlanta in exchange for the sharpshooter. One person who is definitely not happy about this trade is Dunleavy.

Kyle Korver Is Officially A Cavalier

The Kyle Korver-to-Cleveland deal is official, two days after it was first reported—with the Cavaliers giving the Hawks Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams and a future first round draft pick in exchange for the three-point specialist.

Report: Cavs Get Kyle Korver, Likely For Crap

The Cavaliers are doubling down on a team strength and adding one of the best floor spacers in the NBA. Per Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavaliers are finalizing a trade for Atlanta Hawks three-point specialist Kyle Korver. It’s not clear who exactly the Cavs will give up (Mike Dunleavy? A future first? Some cans of…

Avery Bradley Should Probably Start Keeping An Eye Out For LeBron James

LeBron James has been doing the chasdeown block for so long now that any player who finds himself the victim of one either has a very bad memory or enough hubris to think he can escape LeBron’s shadow.

NBA Admits That Refs Blew Two Calls In Favor Of Cavs; Warriors Remain Chump-Ass Chokers

The Golden State Warriors had all but the killed the Cleveland Cavaliers, and then they lost. This was famously the case back in June, and it was just as true last night. No amount of well-actuallying—not even after tonight, when the NBA owned up to the referees missing two critical late-game calls that aided the Cavs in their comeback—can change the fact that this was all the Warriors’ fault.
