January 14, 20232 yr Anderson Varejão rejoins Cavaliers in player development role Associated Press CLEVELAND -- Anderson Varejão has bounced back to the Cavaliers. One of the most popular players in Cleveland's history, Varejão has been hired as a player development consultant and global ambassador for the team that he played with for 14 NBA seasons. Known for his hustle and frizzy hair, Varejão, affectionately nicknamed "Wild Thing" for his rambunctious playing style, was with the Cavaliers from 2004 to 2015. He spent two seasons with the Golden State Warriors before the center returned to Cleveland after a three-year break from the NBA. He retired after playing five games in the 2020-21 season. "I am thrilled and honored once again to be a formal part of the Cavaliers family," Varejão said. "This is a unique opportunity to start a new chapter of my life with the team I love and in the city I love." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35440301/anderson-varejao-rejoins-cavaliers-player-development-role
January 20, 20232 yr The latest is Bronny has narrowed his choices to USC, Oregon, and Ohio State. Who (else)) thinks that LeBron stays with the Lakers or signs with the Blazers or Cavaliers once he decides? One year deal, he has already said he will sign with whoever drafts Bronny.

January 21, 20232 yr a horrible and embarrassing sleepwalking loss at home to the dubs, who sat all their starters. pathetic. mitchell’s lingering leg issue is troublesome. also i see rubio is being held out of games for acl management.
January 21, 20232 yr Also, the Warriors had played in Boston the night before in a game that went to OT. The loss was inexcusable. This Cavs team seems to be lacking endurance and intestinal fortitude. They faded in the second half of the season last year. We were told it was due to injuries and inexperience. But it seems to be happening again this year. Edited January 21, 20232 yr by LibertyBlvd

The wife and I saw they were in town and on a whim decided to grab a couple tickets on Seat Geek. What a mistake. While it was great to have a night out at the RMFH, we had to endure the GS bench owning the Cavs, and an arena full of bandwagon Dubs fans cheering them on.

January 25, 20232 yr 25 minutes ago, mrnyc said: haha — yes and thank you for a bright spot reminder. now that i would have liked to have seen!! Very weird game. Randle was -10 in his minutes despite putting up 36. Knicks went 17/33 from 3. Cavs are 27th in the league in 3 point defense. But the bench has been the real issue lately. Kevin Love is almost certainly washed, and Levert can’t seem to operate outside of the starting lineup.
January 25, 20232 yr 46 minutes ago, bumsquare said: Ricky -26 in thirteen minutes! That's unfortunate. Ricky was such a catalyst for this team last year until he got hurt. Hopefully he can regain some of that form in the 2nd half of the season.

January 25, 20232 yr 13 minutes ago, mrnyc said: not real happy with okoro and mobley lately either. Disagree there. They can be underwhelming on offense (although improving lately) but by some metrics those are two of the top 15-ish defenders in the league. They’re most of the reason the Cavs have maintained an elite defensive rating despite offensive struggles.

And January was a brutal month for them, schedule-wise. Lets see how they look post-All Star break. Love is definitely washed up, though. Its tough watching him move around lol.
January 25, 20232 yr Love washed up? He looked pretty good last year. Maybe that thumb is still bothering him.

Top 15 is 95th percentile not of the starters and i would think not currently. for one thing, i read cavs are at or near the bottom for opponent threes. thats obvious — gs bench torched them w/o steph, but otherwise i dk what is going on there. and anyway those two are starters, not the hansen brothers, so we need all around production for top tier talk. not to mention, what else hurts is the cavs dont have a bench. i hope love’s finger is bugging him and he’s not in one of his sleepwalking funks he falls into. caris disappoints and disappears. osman, wade, stevens? please. if we get ten or so hardcore era rubio minutes every other game from here out and he remembers he can score that would help. what i see is the cavs are settling down with .500 in reach and that we have to face that the league has figured them out. they’ll make the playoffs, but quick exit. i’ll eat my new cavs throwback tee shirt if they win the first playoff series.
February 3, 20232 yr i was pleased my staten island pizza pub had the tnt cavs game on last night so we watched the first half. it was a rough back and forth half, but the cavs displayed an obvious supreme optimisim, smiling, oh well shrugging if they missed, and playing hard but not even breaking a sweat until near halftime. i dk, but you could tell they knew they had this game. rubio missed like 5 early shots, but when i was home i followed the 4th on espn and they put him back in and he was popping threes, which made me laugh. fellas beware the pizza place has a hi def tv screen and my spouse was like ooh you didnt tell me the cavs were so handsome. yep they are honey, ok lol.

February 8, 20232 yr I think enough of these points were scored for Cleveland to post this in the Cavs thread. Check out this visualization of all of LeBron’s NBA record points scored: Of course, this is still the best LeBron video: When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
February 8, 20232 yr Man time passes quickly. Hard to believe Bron has been a Laker longer than his second stint here in Cleveland.
February 8, 20232 yr He sure has a lot of miles on him. Starting in NBA right out of high school and going deep into the playoffs almost every year.

March 7, 20232 yr This one was wacky fun, though there was no way this should have gone to overtime with Williams getting two free throws with less than a second to go and somehow missing them both (and the Celtics then having a chance for a tip-in even after that second miss). Also, it's been a while since I've checked the standings but wow, the Eastern Conference is just brutal this year. Cleveland's 41 wins and 0.612 percentage would be #2 in the West, but it's #4 in the East with the white-hot New York Knicks chasing hard on our heels.
March 7, 20232 yr Yes, it certainly was wacky. The Celtics were hitting 3 pointers like crazy in the first half while the Cavs looked out of sync - missed shots, bad passes - almost as if they had played a double OT game the night before. But apparently Joe Thomas got them fired up in the 4th quarter for an unbelievable finish. Edited March 7, 20232 yr by LibertyBlvd
March 7, 20232 yr Mobley seems to think he's a point guard and when he takes the ball up the court, he generally gets striped. Also, he really needs to stop shooting threes at crucial points of the game.
