It doesn’t matter who plays or who doesn’t, whether the game is at home or on the road, the Cavaliers just cannot beat the Chicago Bulls. With several injuries hurting both teams, what was left of the Bulls handled what was left of the Cavs on Wednesday night at The Q, 95-85, for Chicago’s 10th […]

December 4, 2012 by
Without both Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters, the short-handed Cavaliers fell to Detroit, 89-79, while shooting a season-low 34 percent in front of a sparse crowd at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Heavy fog and two teams with a combined nine victories equated to just an announced 11,352 watching in the stands. Waiters missed the […]

Nine months ago, Alonzo Gee was in the same situation in the same arena — and failed to make the play. Friday night, Gee grabbed an offensive rebound off an airballed 3-point shot by rookie Dion Waiters and put it in with .3 seconds left to lift the Cavaliers to a surprising 113-111 victory over […]
Cavaliers Lose Fourth Straight, 91-78
November 28, 2012 by
Playing their fourth game in five nights, minus a veteran and valuable bench player, Cleveland fell to the Suns, 91-78, in front of a sparse 13,687 at The Q. The Cavaliers were so out of sync and the game so out of reach from the beginning that coach Byron Scott issued a stinging assessment afterward. […]
Grizzlies Beat Cavaliers 84-78
November 27, 2012 by
Two nights after hanging with the best team in the Eastern Conference before falling at Miami, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott was asked if he was surprised that his young team was able to hang with the best team in the NBA before falling, 84-78, to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night at Fed Ex Forum. […]
Heat Beat Cavaliers 110-108
November 25, 2012 by
In basketball, as in many things in life, there are no moral victories. Not even for these young Cleveland Cavaliers, so inexperienced and so unheralded. Not even when the Cavaliers came within mere seconds of knocking off the defending-champion Miami Heat on Saturday at AmericanAirlines Arena. Because the Cavaliers faltered in the end, and fell, […]

November 23, 2012 by
Jeremy Pargo replaced Irving in the starting lineup and scored a career-high 28 points, while also delivering five rebounds and four assists, to lead the Cavs to a 92-83 victory that snapped their six-game losing streak. They also had lost six straight to the Sixers. “I don’t think anybody expected JP to come in and […]
Phillie Downs Cavaliers 86-79
November 19, 2012 by
To a man, the Cavaliers thought they got better against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night at Wells Fargo Center. Yet they still walked away with an 86-79 loss, their sixth straight. “One thing we talked about coming into this game was improving on the defensive end, and I thought we did that,” Cavs coach […]
Mavericks Beat Cavaliers 103-95
November 18, 2012 by
For three days since returning from their epic 11-day road trip, the Cavaliers had a singular focus in practice. Defense. How to play it, how to play it better, how to try to actually stop some opponents from scoring in the ways that they did in six games away from Cleveland — all but one […]
Nets Beat Cavaliers 114-101
November 14, 2012 by
Tuesday was the final outing of a monstrous six-game, 11-day road trip. The Cleveland Cavaliers were tired. They were ready to go home. And they seemed to show it sometime in the second quarter when the unsteady bench took the reins, defense evaporated, and Brooklyn surged to a lead it would never surrender in a […]
