Game 31: Cavs vs. Hornets | Wed, Feb 22nd | 7:00 PM ET

[Rise Against]

The Hornets are the 2nd worst team in the league record wise. The Cavs are the 11th worst after winning 2 straight. The Cavs are 9th in the East. Anyone think that we are winning too much? I swear that we won a handful of games by a point.

[ClipperDrago]

I don't think we can keep this pace up with Andy gone. Something has got to give.

But if we don't fall off soon then we have to move Jamison, even if it is for peanuts. The players that have a future with the team will get more experience and hopefully will we move up a couple of spots. If the youngsters rise up to the challenge and we maintain this winning pace then i will be happy but I don't want to get dragged into 9th place because Jamison randomly enters beast mode.

[TheOUTLAW]

We have won a bunch of really tight games although last night really wasn't that much of a barn burner since it was 4 with virtually no time left when Ben-G hit the meaningless 3. Yes I think we are winning more than we should, but dang there are some seriously awful teams out there.

[tidho]

Yes we're winning too much for our own good. We need a confidence shattering loss in a big way.

Its great to see the team's inspired effort, and we're beating teams that are more talented than we are. Its going to bite us in a big way if we end up grabbing a playoff spot.

I do not mind winning at all. We can still land a solid player with the 11th pick, plus, I expect us to move up if we have our heart set on someone in particular. Winning yields confidence, and confidence is a big factor in helping young players grow.

I just want to see decent basketball, if we win then so be it, if we lose then it helps with draft position. I just dont want to see a repeat of the horrible basketball of last season. It seems that more than a few teams are tanking, what better year than a lockout year with a strong draft upcoming.
The Bobcats look like a strong contender for worst record ever, MJ must be doubling up on the prozac watching that team.

[Rise Against]

Irving having a rough night.. At least he has 10 assists. I think we lost this one.

[ClipperDrago]

yeah that was rough

thankfully the losing streak won't last too long because we play the Knicks soon and that is always a guaranteed win

[Triumph36]

moreeeeeee losses please

[ScramboD8]

Good thing I couldn't watch the game. At least it was an competitive loss and not an blow out. It was obvious we were going to start losing more when Andy (his rebounding is truly missed) went down and Hornets just beat the Knicks and forced OT in Indy yesterday. They're not as bad as advertised and I guess this loss wasn't that bad.

Its good we a few nights like this. Our young guys can only learn from it and get better.

And Jamison need to dunk more often, that was nasty.

I hope we can see Manny after the AS break but I doubt it as AP will be back.

[mg]

That was an ugly game..

I hate to admit it but the Cavs are better off in the long run to start losing some of these meaningless games. I don't see the draft as strong as many are predicting.

[Nirvana]

I didn't catch the game, but at least Kyrie got his first double digit assist night under his belt. Hopefully we'll see some more of those soon.

[TheOUTLAW]

Seriously, it's games like this that remind me how good the best in the NBA are. Kyrie is a beast and will eventually become a very consistent 20+ per game scorer. But looking back at how effortlessly LeBron could put up 30 just astounds me. I realize it wasn't like that for him his rookie year and it's probably going to take a season or 2 before Kyrie starts getting some of the foul calls that he deserves.
