Sometimes a tweet is just so juicy that within moments of a player positing it, they’re immediately contacted and told to delete it. Luckily, thanks to The Huffington Post, even though this was one of those cases we still have visual proof.
While Danny Granger’s comments about European hygiene come off as very xenophobic, I’m willing [...]
Tracking the media’s predictions of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ record this off-season has been a grueling challenge to say the least. The majority of the estimates have placed the Cavs as a bottom five team in the league, often giving them no more than 25 wins on the season. This negative persistence has taken its toll [...]
Typically whenever a debate over the best NBA draft in history arises, three draft classes stand head and shoulders above the rest: 1984, 1996, and 2003. And why shouldn’t they? The 1984 draft showcased Hall of Famers such as Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Charles Barkley, the first two of which accounted for eight straight [...]
Last but certainly not least, our final Player Profile will spotlight the career of the longest tenured Cavalier ever, Big Z, Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Z has shown his loyalty time & time again to the Cavalier franchise & this past season was no exception. First of all, he had to accept a lesser role when the Cavaliers acquired Shaquille [...]
If you’re not on top of your game, Bill Simmons will find you. Just like back in 2007 when he accused LeBron James of mailing in a performance during the post-season. “If LeBron James is the future of the NBA, sign me up for a different professional basketball league, please” Simmons told readers. Three years [...]
Remember when I said this is a dead time in the NBA, especially in regards to the Cavs? Well it looks like I was wrong. While there certainly hasn’t been any big news within the past couple of days involving the Cavs, there has been plenty of newsworthy things involving them. So much so that Cavs Notes had to make another appearance after just a couple of days. More after the jump.
With the end of the Vegas Summer League, the end of Free Agency and the end of any kind of date to look forward to in the NBA, the dead time in the NBA now begins. Until the Cavs start training camp, which won’t be for another month or so, there won’t be much going on in the NBA, particularly in relation to the Cavs. So to help speed up the dead time in the NBA, here’s some stories from the past few weeks to provide for some good reading material.
Our next Player Profile will take a look at one of the most popular Cavalier players, “The Wild Thing” Anderson Varejao.
The 27 year old Brazilian will be entering his 7th season as a Cavalier and is coming off of the best season of his career stat wise. Andy averaged 7.6 boards in 28.5 minutes per [...]
Nothing saddens me more about “The Decision” than the underlying premise that the history of the Cleveland Cavaliers consists of 7.1 years: The month of early May to early June in 1989, and the seven years that LeBron played in Cleveland. I grew up a hoops junkie in Cleveland, Ohio. Just like Ray Kinsella in The Field of Dreams, I left home and traveled around the U.S. for one job or another for the next 11 years or so. So begins the fictional Mural of Dreams parody about the elegant history of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
For those of you who missed it, LeBron James was once again running his mouth to any media outlet that would listen (GQ in this case), bashing Cleveland in an effort to justify his decision. Not only did he take a shot at owner Dan Gilbert, claiming “I don’t think he ever cared about LeBron” in [...]
