There is No “D” in Cavaliers?
It’s a popular narrative lately, but the numbers tell a more complicated story. As of the end of the 2025-26 regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers rank 15th in the NBA with a 115.0 defensive rating. While they aren’t the defensive juggernaut they were a few years ago, they are effectively a middle-of-the-pack unit. The “no defense” talk likely stems from a recent late-season slump where their perimeter defense looked particularly “permissive”.

Perk what are your STATS?. He ain't NEVER!!!!!!!! going to make it to the NBA HALL OF FAME, but Constantly talking sh _t about people.
I’m a huge calve fan and he’s not wrong. Even our defensive player of the year candidate. Mobley is passive. The dude should be top three player in the league with the boy soft
Don’t get why he has a job, he’s such a bad analyst
Cavs soft
Completely true. They're squishy
