Cleveland Cavaliers – Page 6

Cedi Osman 22 Points Full Highlights (1/4/2020)

Pictured: Cedi Osman desperately, but ultimately unsuccessfully, attempting to get one of the Cavaliers’ young guards to pass him the dang ball. Not pictured: Kevin Love stomping around the post-game locker room yelling obscenities and destroying furniture while Cedi Osman looks on sadly. It’s not Osman’s fault that the Cavaliers are so dysfunctional. From my…

Darius Garland 18 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2019)

One of the reasons the draft works so well is because the best players go to the worst teams, allowing them the most chances to score tons of points and get everyone all hyped up for them. This increases the overall excitement of the league by quite a bit. If highly-touted rookies got to just…

Darius Garland 21 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

Okay, whoops, I just totally forgot that I actually had to write some words for Darius Garland instead of just blazing ahead and making another video. Could it be that I secretly resent having to compose all these paragraphs and wish that I could just make endless videos without being required to offer my inane…

Cedi Osman 18 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2019)

Using the precepts of advanced analytics, I have broken down the field goals that Cedi Osman made in this game into three categories. I will then use those categorized field goals to determine whether or not this video was worth making. 1 Jumpshot 1 Turnaround hook/floater 6 Layups (“LAME-ups”) 1 Free Throw Think about it….

Tristan Thompson 18 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

Tristan Thompson has been a Cavalier for a long time. This is his ninth year with the team. He’s seen them be bad, then good, then bad again. He’s experienced the euphoria of winning a championship. He’s experienced the agony of winning just nineteen games in a season. He’s played with superstars like Kyrie Irving…

Darius Garland 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

One of the stats that was making the rounds on social media in the last few days was this troubling one about Darius Garland (probably more troubling about the Cavaliers in general, actually): he’s leading the Cavaliers in assists at 2.9 per game. Are you troubled? You should be troubled, due to the troubling nature…

Kevin Porter 24 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2019)

The Cavaliers played some of their most exciting basketball in the fourth quarter of this game against the Rockets. Led by Kevin Porter Jr., they put together a nice run to take a significant lead against James Har_en’s squad. Remember how loud Cleveland fans got while they had all those championship runs and Finals appearances?…

Darius Garland 17 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)

If you just ignore all the context surrounding the game, including seemingly-pertinent details like the score, and focus ONLY on Darius Garland scoring these 17 points, you can come away with the impression that this ISN’T the most depressing “highlight” video ever made. The second you look at the final score of the game (which…

Larry Nance Jr. 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

I think we can now say, almost twenty games into the season, that Larry Nance Jr. has OFFICIALLY added a three-pointer to his game. It’s not just something he shoots once in a while that sometimes goes in. He shoots them multiple times per game at a 39% clip. He’s not high-volume or anything, but…

Cedi Osman 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)

The much-coveted title of “Best Turkish NBA Player” is up for grabs right now. I look around the league, see some scattered Turks, and none of them are playing exceptionally well. Honestly, as it stands, Furkan Aldemir could make his long-awaited return to the league and take the title easily. By the way, I am…
