The streak will end tonight. That's all there is to it. No more excuses, no more moral victories.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing well enough to win a game, and the Pistons are very beatable right now.
With 8 straight home games, it's time to turn this thing around.
Detroit has been experiencing some inner turmoil with players not agreeing with the coach, and they've been in trade talks concerning Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton.
The strong play of our rookies, along with Ramon Sessions' continued control of this offense is keeping us in games; we're playing competitive basketball with a roster that clearly needs some upgrades.
J.J. Hickson will look to build on his 26 point, 12 rebound effort vs. Dallas.
If Hickson can put together that type of game vs. Tyson Chandler, chances are he will take advantage of Detroit's much smaller frontcourt.
Charlie Villanueva doesn't have the defensive skillset to match up with J.J.'s athleticism. Hopefully #21 comes out and takes advantage of that.
Eyenga had a strong 1st half in Texas scoring 13 of his 15 points, and seems to be gaining confidence in a growing role with this team.
Christian has always been able to drive and finish at the rim. If he can continue to improve his jumpshot, the sky is the limit. He seems to have a good understanding of how to play defensively.
Antawn Jamison will look to get back to the form he was in earlier in the season, where he was stroking 3 balls and looking for his shot.
We need our veterans to step their game up if we're going to start winning some games.
Anthony Parker has been shooting the basketball well since he came back from back injury. He's an important part of our offense and needs to play well in order for the Cavaliers to have a chance to win.
Byron Scott is ready for this team to get over the hump, and he's liked the effort we've been putting forward in the last 4 games.
All that being said, being in games in the 4th quarter doesn't matter if you don't win.
In 9 days, it will have have been two months since the last time the Cavaliers won a game.
