we're back with another quick Cavs recap!

3 Reasons Why the Cavs Beat the Pistons, featuring Jaylon Tyson's defense and a welcome Craig Porter Jr. sighting πŸ‘€

looks like he told reporters he’ll be fine after the game

lmaoooooo

Cavs holding Cade Cunningham without a field goal for the ENTIRE second half is insane

I’m yelling lmao

Harden made Cade Cunningham stumble so far back he almost ended up at the dig site in Brook Park

if this is how Harden plays with a broken thumb, I think we’re gonna be ok

04.03.2026 01:06 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

as has been the case with Mobley forever, he’s so good when he’s decisive. that move he just pulled on JaVonte Green is always there, even on bigger defenders

pretty bummed Donovan Mitchell is missing both these games against the Pistons. would’ve given the Cavs some data points on what Detroit would try to do defensively against him and Harden. alas

have a feeling that's what they'll do

What the Heck is Going On in Cleveland Sports? 3/2 Edition It's time to talk about Chase DeLauter (complementary)

The swing mechanics are weird. The health is questionable. And yet all the dude does is MASH

why it's ok be unreasonably excited about Chase DeLauter, who could genuinely be a superstar, in today's newsletter πŸ‘‡

I’ve said it before, but Sam Merrill’s development into a complete basketball player is remarkable

well alright then Mobley!

think you’ve gotta put Jaylon Tyson on Cade full time in the second half

28.02.2026 01:09 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

really nice first quarter from the Cavs. if Merrill and Tyson can knock down their 3s, and you’re getting production from the bigs, you’re gonna be able to stay attached to a team that doesn’t shoot well from deep like the Pistons

28.02.2026 00:42 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I could watch Sam Merrill shoot 3s on a loop for about five hours straight

28.02.2026 00:22 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

everyone on the cavs should break one finger in solidarity with Harden and Ellis

Dennis Schroder, on one leg, shut off Kevin Porter Jr.’s water on one end, then hits a contested layup on the other.

unreal

getting Keon Ellis was a god damn HEIST

Schroder has significantly increased the amount of Got That Dog In Them on the Cavs

Jarrett Allen is doing to Myles Turner what Mitchell Robinson typically does to him
