Dion Waiters named NBA All-Rookie First Team, Tyler Zeller Second Team
In October, I wrote about the unique opportunity that Dion Waiters had to contend for NBA Rookie of the Year in 2012-13. The award obviously went to Damian Lillard in a landslide, but Waiters still finished the season in good company.
Along with Lillard, Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis and Harrison Barnes, Dion Waiters was named NBA All-Rookie First team on Tuesday.

Dion Waiters: Mike Brown says I’m a starter in this league
I just met with Coach Brown. Everything we talked about so far is great. We shared stories about one another. I can’t wait to get out there and play for him. He said that he loved my game and that I have a lot of potential to be a special player in this league. He loves a person who plays with a chip on his shoulder—the type of attitude I have, he loves every minute of it. He...

Irving, who grew up in New Jersey, did not take it easy on his opponents...

With Mike Brown looking to take hold of the Cleveland Cavaliers heading into 2013-14, it appears that Wayne Ellington appears to be one of the only reserves in the plans going forward.

Kyrie Irving Dominates In Pick-Up
In his short time in the league, Kyrie Irving has proven to be quite the player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After only one limited season at Duke, some had doubts about how he could translate into the NBA. While parts of his game certainly need fine tuning, it looks like the Cavs got a very nice point guard with their number one overall pick.
We also know that Kyrie Irving is very...

Cleveland Cavaliers: Regular Season Review and Awards
Cleveland Cavaliers
Record: 24-58- 13th in East- 28th in NBA
Review: The Cleveland Cavaliers finished with a very poor record, but remember, Kyrie Irving missed 23 games, Anderson Varejao missed 57 games, Dion Waiters missed 21 games and numerous other players missed time. If healthy, they still probably would not have made the playoffs, but they would have been a much better team...
What's next for the Cavs?
New coach, new philosophy, and most likely, some new personnel.
Thats what the Cavaliers face as they enter their first offseason in the era of Mike Brown 2.0. Brown is a defense-first leader, a man who believes every opposing possession should be a grind.
Not everyone on the Cavs current roster fits such a profile, and thats OK. Every successful team has a wide range of individual...

The Dan Gilbert 20/20 Hindsight Tour is in full swing now after the Cleveland Cavaliers owner re-introduced former/now current head coach Mike Brown on Wednesday — three years after firing him following consecutive 60-win seasons.

Dan Gilbert on firing Mike Brown in 2010- “Yeah, it was a mistake.”
Mike Brown was introduced (again) as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers today. As part of the press conference, Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert answered the question that everyone had on their mind- namely was it a mistake to fire coach Brown three years ago-
“Yeah, it was a mistake. For sure it was a mistake.” Gilbert stated right away.
“In hindsight it was a mistake...
Three years the wiser, Cavaliers admit past mistakes and set the stage for the future
The second verse will not be the same as the first. While it will be easy to cast a wide narrative net of repeat performance or straw-man trope of remarriage and second honeymoons, the Cleveland Cavaliers hiring of Mike Brown to help guide them in their continued quest of rebuilding toward contention is saddled on horse of growth, but also one of change.
Having classified the last...
