The Cincinnati Bengals are arguably the NFL’s most disappointing team. Despite Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns, the Bengals are a miserable 4-8. Unless Cincinnati goes on a seemingly improbable 5-0 run to end the year to sneak into the playoffs, change is coming. That means everything, outside of […]

In their quest to repeat as NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics have been clinical in their offensive approach. Boston creates and exploits mismatches, often leading to a high volume of three-pointers.

No one has played more games than the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, sitting at 16-1 heading into a home matchup with the Toronto Raptors.

For as downright dominant as the Cleveland Cavaliers have been to start the season, they aren’t flawless.

After missing nearly all last season, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome seemed like an afterthought to some. A nagging ankle injury kept Jerome sidelined.

For the longest time, defense has been the Cleveland Cavaliers’ identity. Without their defense, Cleveland wouldn’t be where they are right now.
