In a shocking turn of events, it would seem that neither J.B. Bickerstaff nor Koby Altman read the column I wrote about their team two weeks ago. Honestly, it’s offensive. You’d think they’d appreciate my cutting-edge journalism a little bit more. But alas, here we stand on the other side of the trade deadline, the

I live a life of perpetual frustration. Every time things seem to be looking up for the Cavs, they take a turn for the worse again. But hey, I guess that’s just how it goes when you’re a Cleveland sports fan. I don’t think it’s dramatic to say that the Cavs had nothing to lose

When I first got word about Notre Dame’s extended spring break, back when there was still hope of returning to campus in April, amid my disappointment, sadness and mourning of a lost Bookstore Basketball season, I found a pretty excellent silver lining. For a whole two weeks without homework, I could do nothing but watch

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
