The Cavaliers are looking to avoid being eliminated in the first round of the postseason for the second year in a row, but if they are to win, they will need a lot more from Donovan Mitchell, who hasn’t been fully healthy lately. The good news is that per Evan Dammarell, Mitchell says he’s 100 percent healthy and will be able to maintain his burst and speed. #Cavs guard Donovan Mitchell reitera ..read more

(Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images)   The Cleveland Cavaliers wanted to see the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs after tanking the final game of the 2023-24 NBA season. However, it looks like they might come to regret that decision after they got blown out in Game 4, 112-89. Both teams are young, big, and athletic, but it’s the Magic that have been playing better overall basketball throughout the series. The common denominator in the Cavaliers’ Game 3 and 4 losses is their dismal second-half performances, as they’ve largely struggled to score. Orlando’s defense ..read more

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)   The first-round of the NBA playoffs is almost underway, with the Cleveland Cavaliers hosting the Orlando Magic in a very exciting series. Both teams are young, hungry, and up-and-coming, so it’s hard to make a prediction. They also have plenty of talent in their ranks. However, there’s a defining factor that makes former NBA champion Paul Pierce give the Magic the edge. Talking to Kevin Garnett for their show, the retired small forward stated that, at times, it seems like the Cavs don’t have good chemistry (via All The Smoke Productions). Is there a ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   Will he stay or will he go? Fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers have been asking that question about Donovan Mitchell all season long, afraid that the star player is going to cut ties with the team and head to another in the upcoming offseason. Even with the Cavaliers poised to enter the playoffs this weekend, the questions about Mitchell continue to swirl. According to one anonymous NBA executive, there is a realistic shot of Mitchell leaving the Cavaliers this summer. Speaking to The Athletic, per NBACentral, the executive said: “That (Mitchell situa ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   Coming into Sunday’s game against the lowly Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers had an opportunity to secure the No. 2 or No. 3 seed with a win. Of course, the Cavaliers couldn’t even handle that as they let a team that rested all of its best players in the regular-season finale beat them by 10, which is not a great sign, with the start of the NBA playoffs being right around the corner. The Cavaliers had a lot of incentive to win this game as they could’ve played a lesser team in the first round while also having home-court advantage in the ..read more

(Photo by Nick Cammett/Getty Images)   The end of the 2023-24 NBA regular season is upon us, with teams wrapping up their schedules on Sunday and most of the playoff picture in both the Eastern and Western Conference coming together. On Sunday, the Cleveland Cavaliers finished their regular season in a matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Charlotte’s season came to an end a long time ago, and it has long since been eliminated from playoff contention in the East. That said, the Hornets didn’t have much to play for on Sunday, but that didn’t prevent them from beating one of the best teams ..read more

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)   The Cleveland Cavaliers have been through a lot this season. Injuries tried to derail their promising campaign, but JB Bickerstaff’s team was quite resilient, and they kept fighting through adversity. Notably, Darius Garland also had to stay mentally strong to cope with the injuries he had to deal with. Now, with the playoffs just around the corner, the former lottery pick admits he’s eager to take another leap forward, stating that he’s had that itch to play postseason basketball since they were eliminated last season (via Bally Sports Cleveland). “Sou ..read more

(Photo by Nick Cammett/Getty Images)   After a nice hot streak at midseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers have leveled off, and they have fallen to fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Optimism that they could make a deep playoff run has been replaced by consternation about their immediate future following the postseason. A lot of that has surrounded the fact that Donovan Mitchell, their best player, can become a free agent in 2025 and may want out of Cleveland. As a result, Marc Stein said, per NBACentral, the Cavs may be forced to trade Mitchell soon in order to get some value for him. T ..read more

(Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)   The Cleveland Cavaliers have some crucial decisions to make very soon. Donovan Mitchell’s future looms large for the organization, and they must have an answer from him before making any big moves. Dan Gilbert was optimistic about their ability to get an extension done, but Mitchell later pumped the brakes on that. They also need to figure out what to do with Evan Mobley, who has shown glimpses of greatness and two-way dominance, even if he hasn’t lived up to the expectations just yet. That’s why NBA insider Brian Windhorst recently stated that the C ..read more

(Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images)   The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them to the No. 5 seed in the East with just three games remaining as they try to hold on and avoid falling to the play-in tournament. One analyst recently pointed to a key member of the team who has not progressed as many had hoped and is a big reason why the team isn’t quite hitting that next level it was expected to hit. Brian Windhorst made an appearance on ESPN Cleveland today and said that big man Evan Mobley has been: “Disappointing, offensively disappointing ..read more
