Cleveland Cavaliers

East Central · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Cavaliers fans opened the season in despair, fixated on a blown 30-point lead in Philly and a roster that felt off. A winning second week, fueled by Peyton Watson and rookie Meleek Thomas, lifted the mood to cautiously optimistic at 4-2, though the collapses still sting.

  • After the 30-point collapse in Philly and a near-blown 21-point lead against Brooklyn, fans kept joking that every Cavs game, up 20 or down 20, ends as a heart-attack finish.

    “Take away the implosion in the second half against the sixers and people probably feel a lot better about this team (me included)”
