James Harden is shooting 11-23 (47.8%) on catch-and-shoot 3Ps since joining Cleveland

Getting some of the cleanest looks of his career

I also threw together some clips of Jaylon Tyson operating in the pick-and-roll

He says he never played as the roller before this season. Seems to be learning fairly quickly! Great reads and plenty of tools to score from that zone (awesome touch on the floater!)

Put together some of Evan Mobley's best dunks this season

Super impressive finishes here. Doesn't get enough credit for being a downhill threat

Bryant has been very helpful this season but this is where you really miss Jarrett Allen and the ability to stagger him with Mobley

There’s value in getting 48 minutes of elite center play

Okay, the Thomas Bryant green light might need to turn yellow lol

Feed Evan Mobley

Jaylon Tyson says this is the first time in his life he's been the roller in PNR scenarios, but Donovan Mitchell sat him down and showed him film on Royce O'Neal earlier this season to help build that dynamic

Schroder gets to the rim so quickly, it's a lot of fun watching him go 0-100 MPH on those drives

That looked like a great contest from Duren, just a better shot from Mobley

04.03.2026 02:17 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

This has been a strong game from Jaylon Tyson. Game-high 18 points on 7-13 shooting

If Keon Ellis is on the court a ball is either being blocked or stolen

A few Thomas Bryant minutes feel borderline necessary against the Pistons. They just need his size/toughness in this matchup

Evan Mobley is starting to look like Evan Mobley again

That spinning dunk was filthy

Kenny Atkinson’s live reaction to Jarrett Allen missing on Player of the Month

The Cavs are 11-2 this season when Jarrett Allen scores 20+ points

Cavs hang on and win in Brooklyn

Sloppy performance that shouldn't have been close. But I thought Evan Mobley continued to find his groove. 17 points and 13 rebounds

Sam Merrill alley-oop to Jarrett Allen just hits different after their last podcast lol

Keon Ellis is an absurd defender

First game back from a broken finger. He has 5 blocks and 3 steals in 28 minutes

01.03.2026 22:56 πŸ‘ 10 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

It feels like good things are happening every time Mobley has the ball. I'd like the Cavs to really lean into that, for a change

01.03.2026 22:37 πŸ‘ 7 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

James Harden is on triple-double watch

20 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists with 10 minutes left in the game

01.03.2026 22:36 πŸ‘ 7 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Credit to Brooklyn, they’re playing great defense

But the Cavs offense really shouldn’t be struggling this much

01.03.2026 21:44 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Okay, he kinda threw at the end. But he plays with so much heart, it’s hard not to root for him

Dennis Schroder is rapidly entering himself into the Cavs Role Player HOF

28.02.2026 03:21 πŸ‘ 6 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Solid first half for the Cavs

The offense was a bit clunky, which is to be expected with so many creators/shooters out

But they defended well and have managed to do enough on offense to stay in front

28.02.2026 01:14 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Jarrett Allen nearly ties the game at the buzzer, but the ball was still in his hands

Heart breaker but a phenomenal effort from the Cavs

26.02.2026 03:20 πŸ‘ 8 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Schroder too

Awesome response from the Cavs backcourt

Craig Porter Jr. is doing a brilliant job of getting this Cavs offense out of the mud

Dribble penetration leads to good things

26.02.2026 02:30 πŸ‘ 6 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

The Cavs are being outscored 11-0 to start the 3Q

Qwan’s minutes have not been good recently… some truly bad turnovers tonight
