The Cavaliers lost again last night. Sound familiar? It should. That's been the headline after Cleveland's last 25 games. When a team loses that many games in a row, they're bound to cover just about all aspects of the losing spectrum...and the Cavaliers have. Start with blowouts. Obviously the game...

For about three quarters tonight, the Cavaliers didn't exactly look like a team that had lost 22 straight games. They moved the ball on offense, stayed relatively even on the boards and played good enough defense to keep them competitive. But they couldn't sustain for 48 minutes and a crucial...

I feel like I start off every single Cavs post the same: The Cavs have lost [X] games in a row (we can make that X a 20 today). The Cavs will be without [Player X] and [Player Y] for the next few games (let's use Mo Williams and Leon...

Given that we're in the dead middle of winter and most cities in Ohio are seeing their high temperatures peak in the teens, I thought this metaphor regarding the Cavaliers losing streak would be well-suited: each of the team's 16 consecutive losses is like a snowflake—no two have been exactly...

For a majority of the first half, it looked like the struggling and oft-injured Cavs would be able to hang with a Milwaukee team playing without their starting backcourt. But as we've seen so many times in the last month, the Cavs have to play near perfect basketball for nearly...

Ardent supporters of Cleveland sports know not to say "it can't get any worse." When they do, things like a conniving, money-driven owner moving the heart and soul of the city to Baltimore happen. Or they watch the future and possible cornerstone of their baseball team suffer a horrifying knee...

In the midst of losing 20 of 21 games, many Cavalier fans (myself included) undoubtedly found themselves asking, "how could this season get any worse?" Question asked, question answered.

Believe it or not, at one point this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers sat atop the Central Division and were on pace to earn a playoff spot against the Miami Heat in the first round. OK, so that was on Nov. 9. But after a tumultuous offseason (and that's about as...

One year ago today, Clevelanders were celebrating a dominant victory over the Lakers in Los Angeles and counting the many blessings (an MVP, a Coach of the Year, a four-time NBA champion, a crafty, savvy GM, an owner who desperately wanted to win) scattered throughout their organization. What a difference...

Byron Scott talked about making changes in the rotation this past weekend when the Cavs were thumped in back-to-back losses to the lowly Timberwolves and Pistons.

Flash back with me to May of 2010. Not the day you're probably thinking (May 11, Game 5 vs. Boston). No, let's go a few days before that. It's May 7. The 61-win Cavaliers just handed the Celtics their worst home playoff loss in franchise history, a 124-95 beating to...
