Quote: Byron Scott Weighing Options at Center

From a coach’s standpoint, you can have four or five bad games, you’re almost giving me no choice but to look elsewhere.

Not all bad in Cavs' turnover-infested loss

A few random observations on the Cavaliers 98-78 defeat at Portland on Sunday: 1. Im far from disgusted by this loss, despite the fact it came by 20 points. Thats probably what makes me different than the coaches and players (well, that and my jump shot), but the Cavs kept it surprisingly close for two-and-a-half quarters. And I say surprising because the Trail Blazers are a very...

Cleveland Cavaliers Get Blazed In Portland Last Night 98-78

The Cleveland Cavaliers were beat by the Trial blazers last night. The Cavs looked all game long like they were 2 steps slow.

The rest of the Cavaliers team didn’t do much to help the cause. Portland couldn’t do much wrong...

Cavaliers should start Alonzo Gee - Comment of the Day

"Maybe the Cavs should start Gee and bring Casspi off the bench. Casspi has not played well and Gee has. Maybe a couple of stints coming off the bench against players who aren't good enough to start might help boost his confidence. But I do not think that Byron Scott should continue to reward Casspi by allowing him to start games over Gee who has, without a doubt, proven...

Cavaliers Head To Portland After Beating Timberwolves 98-87

There are two separate ways you can look at this 4-3 start by the Cleveland Cavaliers. One of those ways is to say that the Cavaliers started with this exact same record through seven games last year only to then go on and redefine NBA awfulness and ineptitude from that point forward. The other way you can look at it, which is also supported by statistical data to some degree, is...
