It’s no secret that the Cleveland Cavaliers are not what they used to be. After four-consecutive Eastern Conference titles, punctuated by a championship in 2016, the Cavs, after reaching the highest of highs, are now free-falling into the lowest of lows. With an abysmal record of 14-46 on the season (that’s 30 percent), Cleveland has

After the most painful-to-watch Super Bowl in recent memory, I figured the time was once again ripe to point out my favorite obvious fact: Criticisms of women’s basketball are nothing more than sexist excuses not to watch women succeed at a sport. The number of people (let’s be honest, predominantly men) who say women’s basketball

Usually in this newspaper, rankings are left for the Viewpoint section in one of Davis Gonsalves’ fine columns. But, seeing as the NBA playoffs have tipped off this past weekend, I’m ready to offer up some rankings of my own. Yes, that’s right — in this column, after some consultation with friend and current resident

Let’s get one thing straight here. The only person who seems to still be trying to “control the narrative” is you, Stephen A. Smith. The other day, I sat scrolling through the ESPN app for updates about the Olympics, news around the NBA and other items of interest, and what did I see? A video

Remember about a week ago, when the Cleveland Cavaliers were 6-13 in their last 19 games dating back to Christmas Day, the players were questioning the legitimacy of a Kevin Love sickness and everyone in the locker room hated each other? Man, those were the days. Just one day after a thrilling win over the

So I have this idea for a new reality TV show. You have all heard of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” “The Real Housewives of New York City” and just about every other “Real Housewives” franchise, right? Well, how’s this: “The Real Cavaliers of Cleveland,” a drama coming to your TVs soon? Oh wait, it’s

It hasn’t been a great couple of weeks for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have a record of 3-8 since their Christmas Day defeat to the Golden State Warriors and have fallen to third in the Eastern Conference behind the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors. Last Saturday, the Cavaliers were defeated 148-124 at home

This NBA offseason was crazy. Due to Kevin Durant’s joining forces with Golden State last offseason, which subsequently led to the Warriors’ domination of the NBA playoffs and second championship in three years, the other 29 teams scrambled this summer to either position themselves to attempt the toppling of Goliath, or to wait until the

After their blowout 103-74 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers responded in a number of different ways. LeBron James called the situation “delicate.” Tyronn Lue laughed at how badly his team had been outplayed. And Kyrie Irving went back out onto the court and started hoisting shots up. But

Imagine you’re a lifelong Cleveland Cavaliers fan, living in Los Angeles. You’ve watched LeBron James carry an otherwise weak Cavaliers team to consistent playoff berths and a finals appearance, leave for Miami, return to Cleveland and eventually carry your team a championship with an all-time great finals performance. You raise your kids as loyal Cavaliers
