I have an announcement...

When I decided that @LockedOnCavs was for me, I decided that wasn't going to be the only way I covered the team. Now, I'm launching my new @substack, The Inside Shot. If you're a #Cavs fan, I think you'll like it. https://t.co/wxcufWO58s

No surprises on Cleveland’s injury report for tomorrow against Brooklyn.

Nae’Qwan Tomlin (back) and Khalifa Diop (knee) are both out. Ernest Udeh Jr. (two-way) is unavailable as well.

#Cavs lose on Opening Night to the Sixers 114-106. They led by 29 points in the first half and then only scored 37 points total in the second half. Hard to draw up a worse start to the season.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

That sequence will do it for the #Cavs. An unfathomable second half is going to lead to an opening night loss after they led by as many as 29 points in the second quarter.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

Successful challenge. Offensive foul on Harden.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

Sixers are challenging the foul on Joel Embiid, saying that James Harden hooked him. We'll see how this turns out. Pretty big moment with the Cavs trailing 106-100 and a trip to the free throw line at stake.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

This is just a remarkable unraveling from the #Cavs. Led by 29 earlier and now the game is starting to slip away from them. They've had some bad shot luck in this half, but they've done so many silly things to beat themselves, too.

Sixers lead 102-95 with 4:58 left.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

#Cavs 29-point lead is gone. Joel Embiid gives Philly the lead at 96-95.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

#Cavs are going Porter Jr., Heonja, Harden, Watson and Mobley out of the timeout here.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

James Harden needed that 3-pointer in the worst way. #Cavs hanging onto a 95-89 lead with 8:24 left in regulation. Cavs have missed several good looks that would've given them some breathing room over the past couple of minutes.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

#Cavs lead the Sixers 90-82 after three quarters. Philly had a couple of chances to take the lead after trailing by as many as 29 earlier in the game but Cleveland put together a few solid possessions to close out the quarter. Mario Hezonja with some big buckets.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

#Cavs have been called for 10 fouls in the first nine minutes of the third quarter.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

Think calling the third quarter a disaster for the #Cavs wouldn't be doing it justice. The Sixers have outscored them 28-11 in the first 6:42 of the period and cut Cleveland's lead all the way down to just seven at 80-73.

[Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham]

Sixers have opened up the third quarter on an 8-0 run, with LeBron headed to the line to finish off an and-1 after the timeout. Cleveland's lead, which was as large as 29, is down to 69-53.
