CavsWire

The #Cavs are giving away "beards" for James Harden's debut in Cleveland tomorrow night.

Incredible stuff from the marketing team.

Congratulations Nae'Qwan!

ESPN's Shams Charania reported that #Cavs forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin has been converted to a standard contract. Tomlin was approaching his 50 game limit allowed on his two-way contract with the team. In 43 games this season, Tomlin has averaged 6.5 points, 3.1 rebounds on 48.7% from the field.

Only two games in, but the Harden experiment is off to a great start.

Cavaliers rally from behind to win in Denver after a late three by James Harden to tie and two game sealing free throws from Donovan Mitchell to win it 119-117.

Cleveland finish the West Coast trip with a 4-1 record on a 4 game win streak.

James Harden and Donovan Mitchell duo is incredible.

CAVALIERS BASKETBALL.

At least they have something.

It really bugs me that John Michael calls Nikola Jokic "Nick".

What in the world did Jalen Duren say to Moussa Diabate????????

🧵The NBA's Board of Governors is expected to vote on expanding the league by two teams.

Here's my idea for how the league should realign, assuming the expansion cities are Las Vegas and Seattle.

TRAVIS SCOTT 😭

Mitchell and Harden had 29 and 20 points in their first game together in route to their win. Travis Scott was ecstatic in the post game interview.

The Harden era of the Cavaliers get's off to a great start with a 132--126 win over the Kings.

James Harden had a quiet start, but really came alive in the fourth quarter alongside his new partner in crime Donovan Mitchell. Travis Scott was ecstatic in the post game interview.

James Harden, one of the best free throw shooters of all time, to the line again looking to seal the game for the Cavaliers.

He makes it a two possession game.

Westbrook misses a late three that would've given the Kings the lead with ~20 seconds left, and misses. James Harden to the line for his first free throws of the game.

DeMar DeRozan hits a three to tie the game and Donovan Mitchell draws a foul. He made the shot, but officials rule it on the floor. Don't love that call at all.

Ellis forces a crucial turnover on one of the most important possessions of the game.

Cavaliers give up two offensive rebounds as Doug Christie takes a timeout.

Wondering if Atkinson will sub in Tyson with the break.

Kenny Atkinson has four guards in the final moments of the game.

Harden/Mitchell/Ellis/Merrill/Allen with two minutes left in this close game.
