“There are a lot of things to be concerned about. First of all, Portland is a tough, tough place to play. We’re playing 10 o’clock at night, our time. They’re playing regular time for them. That’s something to be concerned about.” Cavaliers coach David Blatt feared this prior to tonight’s game. The Portland Trail Blazers […]
Cavaliers Fall to the Knicks 95-90 in Season Opener
October 31, 2014 by
In a night that started out so memorably, the ending sure left a sour taste as the New York Knicks defeated the Cavaliers, 95-90, on Thursday night at The Q in the Cavs’ season opener. New York’s Carmelo Anthony led all scorers with 25 points. Kyrie Irving led Cleveland (0-1) with 22 points, four rebounds […]
Cavaliers End Season, Smack Nets 114-85
April 17, 2014 by
All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving took the microphone before the Cavaliers’ season finale against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night at The Q and announced, “This is all about the fans.” Then, for the first time in a week, the Cavs played as if the game actually meant something. As a result, they gave fans […]
Cavaliers Beat Pistons 122-100, Eliminated from Playoffs
April 10, 2014 by
The score was frozen on the huge television screen in the Cavaliers locker room Wednesday night: Atlanta 105, Boston 97. How ironic that 30 minutes after playing one of their best, most complete games of the season in a 122-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons, the Cavs should learn that they’d been knocked out of […]
Cavaliers Whip Magic 119-98
April 3, 2014 by
It took only two questions before someone asked Cavaliers coach Mike Brown about his team’s big game on Friday at Atlanta. The dust had barely settled after Kyrie Irving’s seamless return in the Cavs’ 119-98 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night when the attention turned to the next game. It was only natural. […]
Cavaliers Beat Pacers 90-76
March 31, 2014 by
Before Sunday’s matchup with the Indiana Pacers at The Q, the Cavaliers talked about not just meeting but exceeding the Pacers physicality. Power forward Tristan Thompson went so far as to say, “We’ve just got to come out ready and punch them in the face first.” With that approach going in, perhaps it should not […]
Cavaliers Beat Pistons 97-96
March 27, 2014 by
Mike Brown is firm in his recollection. With 3.2 seconds left, in the Cavaliers’ wild 97-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons, he told Dion Waiters to drive toward the basket. Don’t shoot. Drive. “That shows how much he listens to me,” Brown said, rolling his eyes in mock exasperation. Waiters remembers it all differently, of […]
Cavaliers Down Raptors 102-100
March 26, 2014 by
Anderson Varejao felt his stomach drop when he saw his inbounds pass go sailing by Luol Deng with 7.8 seconds left and the Cavaliers leading the Toronto Raptors, 102-100, on Tuesday night at The Q. “You know that feeling that you get? No way,” Varejao said. “What’s going on? Yes, way.” Unfortunately for Varejao, Deng […]
Heat Beat Cavaliers 100-96
March 19, 2014 by
As far as Miami coach Erik Spoelstra was concerned, it wasn’t the arena-record 25 points that LeBron James scored in the first quarter that made the difference in the Miami Heat’s 100-96 victory over the Cavaliers on Tuesday night at The Q. It was James’ block of a Dion Waiters layup with 28.9 seconds left. […]
Clippers Beat Cavaliers 102-80
March 17, 2014 by
When the Cavaliers rallied to win after falling behind the Golden State Warriors, 20-4, on Friday night, Dion Waiters warned, “That ain’t always going to work.” His teammates didn’t listen. But he was right. The Cavs fell behind the Los Angeles Clippers, 15-2, on Sunday night at Staples Center and never really recovered in losing, […]
