It might look bad, but it’s not a total disaster. The Cleveland Cavaliers have faced a lot of zone defense this year. In fact, only the Charlotte Hornets have faced more zone this year, though these numbers are heavily skewed by their schedule to this point: the Cavaliers have already played three games each against Toronto and Miami, two teams who run a fair amount of zone and do it...

It’s been a tough season, but the Cavs are finding some fun The Cavs held on in an ugly game to notch a 107-104 win over the New York Knicks . Let’s set aside the conversation on tanking for a moment. Everyone knows that these were two of the worst team’s in the league, and at the end of the season having the worst record becomes helpful.

It’s a tank off! This may be the Cavs’ most important game before the All-Star break, at least in terms of draft odds. Entering Monday night, the Knicks are a full game worse than the Cavs. Now, as far as odds for the No. 1 pick goes, it means the two teams have the same odds for the No. 1 pick. But also means that the Knicks, as the worst team in the league, can only fall as far as No....

Cleveland falls to 11-45 on the season. It didn’t matter that Victor Oladipo didn’t play — the Pacers were just better than the Cavs on Saturday night in Indianapolis. In their 105-90 loss, the Cavs trailed by as many as 17 points. And every time they seemed back in the game, and got within 10 or so points, they found their comeback attempts rebuffed. Saturday’s loss drops Cleveland...

The LeBron-less Lakers host the LeBron-less Cavs The Cleveland Cavaliers have created a small bit of separation for themselves as the worst team in the NBA. With just eight wins, they trail the Bulls Knicks , and Suns with 10. Coming into the year, there was some concern the Cavs might not be able to keep their top-10 protected pick. Those fears are gone, but it’s not exactly...

Another date with Milwaukee. The Cavaliers aced their first test without Tristan Thompson with a win against the Knicks . It’s probably fair to say that their luck won’t continue against the Bucks , who this time will likely have Giannis Antetokounmpo in tow. This could get a smidge ugly, but the try-hard Cavaliers can be full of surprises on a night-to-night basis. Who: ...
