Graham in the corner to tie it 101-101.

Lopez answers to make it 103-101 with 1.4 to go. Cavs ball from halfcourt.

Cavs have to call timeout on the 1st attempt to get the ball in.

Boobie misses from the corner.

Losing streak continues.

Sorry folks, but I cannot believe there were some that thought this could still be a playoff squad. When Jamison and Mo Williams are your best players, you're a 60 loss team. I couldn't give two [Mark May]s about today's NBA, but hopefully the Cavs are smart about their rebuilding effort.

You're certainly right about that and I was wrong at the time. All I can say is that I was blinded by homer rage.

christian eyenga, samardo samuels and manny harris get ample playing time. i'd say that's as close to blowing the fucker up as it can be. once any team is willing to give the cavs some wine and gold tri-band tube socks for players, the trades will start.

The way to fast improvement in the NBA? It's hardly a well-guarded secret: Terry Pluto

Published: Monday, January 24, 2011, 6:32 PM Updated: Monday, January 24, 2011, 6:33 PM

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In 2004-05, Byron Scott coached a New Orleans team that won only 18 games. The final record was 18-64, the second worst in the NBA -- Atlanta was 13-69.
But it was Milwaukee (30-52) that ended up with the No. 1 pick when the pingpong balls stopped bouncing. Scott's Hornets were selecting No. 4.
"We worked out several players," said Scott. "But when we had Chris Paul in our gym, I knew he was the best player in the draft. He had everything you wanted in a point guard."
The Cavaliers coach knows something else.
"In the modern NBA, one of the fastest ways to turn around your franchise is to get a great point guard," he said. "It happened in New Jersey, when we went from winning 26 to making the NBA Finals the next season after we traded for Jason Kidd."
Something else Scott knew, "We'd never get to Paul at No. 4. I thought we'd end up with Raymond Felton, which would have been good. But I knew Paul was the guy, and he had to go in the top three."
But he fell to New Orleans, and the Hornets immediately became competitive. Players picked before Paul: Andrew Bogut (Bucks), Marvin Williams (Hawks), Deron Williams (Jazz). Felton went No. 5 to Charlotte, current Cavalier Joey Graham went No. 16 to Toronto.
"I've been through [losing] before," said Scott, whose Cavs were 8-35 and had lost 26 of 27 heading into Monday's game at New Jersey. "Maybe not quite this bad with all the injuries, but close. I don't like it, but I can handle the suffering right now."
Scott said he prefers "not really yelling at the guys more than five or six times a year -- and I've already passed that." He added that General Manager Chris Grant "has apologized" for a roster that has been ravaged by injuries along with a front office decision not to make a short-term trade.
"I told CG that he had nothing to apologize for," said Scott. "We are in this together."

+1. I don't know what I was thinking when I thought the Cavs could go .500 and sneak into the playoffs as a #7 or #8 seed. [censored]. This could be the worst team I've ever been a fan of, and that's saying a lot--in baseball I cheer for the Pirates.

While I'm surprised that they're this fucking terrible, I was also very wrong. I guess Lebron deserves more credit than I was willing to give at the time.
