Tbh it seems like every time a team is on a record pace for a streak whether it be winning or losing .. it always gets shot down unexpectedly .. So the Cavs wil probably beat the Celtics or Heat... its always nice to see a record set though.

It's also the NBA record, though it was over two seasons. They're at 17 now, and their next 8 games are

@ Boston
vs Denver
@ Orlando
@ Miami
vs Indiana
@ Memphis
vs Portland
@ Dallas

They only need to drop the next 7 to take the crown from Vancouver for most losses in a row in a single season. The only winnable game looks like the home game vs Indiana.

Home to Denver, home to Indiana, @ Memphis and Home to Portland are all winnable games IMO..unlikely, but winnable..the first 3 teams are known to have let-downs, and Portland is due to eventually succumb to their injuries IMO..

Also, you would think they would have a game where everything goes right for them, they're still an NBA team..

Obviously the problem now, other than lack of talent, is that it's possible that every opponent will make sure not to be the team that ends the Cavs' losing streak, since it would be embarrassing, I suppose..

Personally, I wouldn't bet on the Cavs to win any of these games, but I don't think they're going to break the record..

Shrug. The only difference between losing 50 and losing 70 is the number of ping-pong balls you get in the hopper.

If you're going to lose, might as well lose spectacularly. No one from this roster will be a member of the Cavaliers when (if) they ever get good again anyway.

It's hard to call it tanking when the two best players on a team are Boobie Gibson and Antoine Jamison. Which of these teams that they're losing to should they beat? Cleveland has one of the worst rosters I have ever seen, not even factoring in their injuries. On top of that, James cut all their hearts out and nailed them to the tree of woe. Hence, you have a bunch of untalented players lacking motivation and the recipe for a season of spectacular failure.

You would think that with the money they saved from James, they could pay a max contract to somebody. The problem is that the league is watered down. Not enough actual 'stars' for teams, and it's even worse when you collude to put two or three 'stars' in the same team. Both issues should be tackled in a future CBA. Killing a couple of teams should happen. Making sure teams don't outright get away with such deals should happen also.

Wasn't James one of the last dominoes to fall though? Amare was off the market, so was Joe Johnson, Gay got locked down immediately, Dirk re-upped pretty quickly, they weren't going to pull Pierce nor Allen off a championship team, and no way they'd want to give big money to David Lee. And Boozer obviously wasn't going to happen after the fiasco between them in 2004.

Like I said, not enough stars on a watered down league. If there would have been less teams that could've been able to sign James and a few other stars, then Cleveland wouldn't have needed to put up with The Decision or wait until the last second.

The league could stand to maybe chop Charlotte and the Clippers, but that had nothing to do with Cleveland's situation. Cleveland made stupid decisions in the front office, such as passing on Stoudemire to keep a mediocre talent like Hickson, signing dime a dozen players like Varejao, Moon, and Parker instead of saving capspace for someone good, and trading Ben Wallace's huge expiring for a completely done O'Neal. Not to mention trying to con Boozer into a mid-level deal only to have him turn around and screw them back in 2004. Or what about their draft blunders like Luke Jackson? The Cavs front office has no one to blame but themselves for the shitty team they're putting out on the floor. Can anyone honestly say James made the wrong decision after seeing this garbage?

There's no realistic way that Stoudemire chooses Cleveland over NY. And that is part of the problem too. I don't take blame away from Cleveland, but there's also the fact that there's not enough star players for every team, especially if there's room for certain teams to have 2-3 stars at once.

And Cleveland wasn't the only team that got jobbed. Toronto is basically in the same situation. They just have a better, younger core with DeRozan, etc.

JoeTait75

passing on Stoudemire to keep a mediocre talent like Hickson

First off, if you've got information showing it was Cleveland that backed out of a Stoudamire deal and not Phoenix, I'd like to see it. Not a challenge- I just honestly don't know which side backed out.

Even if Cleveland had consummated that deal they'd be left with no LeBron and no Stoudamire. STAT would have been a half-season rental and LeBron was gone regardless IMO. There is no Plan B when you lose a LeBron James.

This team blew its shot to build a champion around LeBron in one week during the summer of 2004 when it drafted Luke Jackson and let Carlos Boozer walk. It was scramble mode from then on. When you're Cleveland you HAVE to build through the draft. You aren't going to get top-level free agents to come here.

I guess I could be wrong about them backing out. I thought I remembered hearing extensively that they didn't want to give up Hickson, and thus went with the shitty Washington deal instead. Assuming it could have happened, Stoudemire would have been a worthwhile gamble even without the guarantee of re-signing. If that could have delivered a title, then no way either of them walks. If it doesn't, then losing Hickson is no big deal anyways. Plus Cleveland has the Bird Rights on Amare and at least a chance to have a second star next to James; that would have been a lot harder to walk away from.

In the end, spilled milk I guess. Hopefully they can end up with Kyrie Irving and maybe another good player the year after. After Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker are gone I'll be rooting for the Spurs to have 15 win seasons too so they can build with the draft.

LeBron says he wishes Cavs ‘the best’ (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-lebron-cavaliersstruggles)
By Tim Reynolds

LeBron James sees no reason to enjoy Cleveland’s epic struggles this season.

And it doesn’t give him a sense of vindication, either.

Speaking before the Miami Heat faced the Cavaliers on Monday night, James says Cleveland’s descent from a championship contender to the NBA’s worst team does nothing to prove that he made the right choice in joining up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in South Florida.

Cleveland entered Monday on a 20-game losing streak and brought an 8-39 record into the contest, the worst mark in the league. With James, the Cavaliers were the among the NBA’s elite, but not even seven months after he made “The Decision,” Cleveland is approaching the league losing-streak record.

“It didn’t matter for me if the Cavs were going to have a successful season or not,” James said. “I felt like I was making the right choice for me as an individual and for my career. Like I said, I have nothing bad to say about the players that I left and the team. I wish the organization the best. And I wish the fans, more than anything, the best because we had a lot of great years together.”

BB the Cavs were not going to wait to appease their star. Pheonix were keeping the Cavs waiting two deadlines in a row (2009 Shaq, 2010 Stoudemire). It was also based around the time frame, not strictly based on the pieces in the trade. Yes in hindsight I'd probably take the gamble on Amar'e but who would see your star player playing up an injury(if there was any) or playing lackadaisical in key moments of the playoffs.

Post-LeBron Cavs sink to new depths (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-gibsoncavs020511)
By Adrian Wojnarowski

Daniel Gibson isn’t the Cleveland Cavaliers’ best player, but he’s their fans’ best memory still on the floor. All alone, all smothered in losing, Gibson is the last link to LeBron James, the trip to the 2007 NBA Finals, the championship chase of yesterday. All these hollowed-out and lost kids around him, all turning to him and wondering: What do we do now?

Gibson never expected the history he would help shape with this franchise would be the NBA’s longest losing streak, but it’s come upon these Cavs like a tsunami. The Cavaliers tied the single-season record with a 112-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, and they now stand alone forever with a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night at the Q.

..."I don’t know when we stopped believing, when we stopped doing things the right way,” Gibson said. Only everyone else does, and it was that December night when James delivered the Cavaliers into an epic descent. Thirty-four games later, the Cavs have one victory since and now the longest losing streak in NBA history.

I think he's only got the talent to be their 6th man, but he seems to have the ego to demand a starting job.

I wouldn't put it past the coach to have him running the point sooner than later. He's the only one so far who's stood up to Lebron, even if he was doing it from behind a locked office door with security and dogs all around.

There's some history for you, folks.

Worst. Streak. Ever.

This is exactly why Lebron left Cleveland: this is the excuse of a team they put around him.

If the Spurs lost Tim or the Mavs lost Dirk, they'd be noticeably worse....but 25-Ls-in-a-row bad? That's just ridiculous.

WOW. Yeah it was all Lebron. Short sighted much?

Actually the team that was around him isn't playing.

AV is out, Booby is out, Z is gone.

No No No.... it cant be. It HAS to be ALL about Lebron! :lol

lol Mike Brown is a dumb man, he's no excuse for a coach.

Denying Lebron is the best player in the league is like denying the sky is blue. Kobe has his time, yet he never did everything Lebron does on such a consistent basis. You can never put Kobe w/ a bunch of scrubs and an old ass Shaq and expect the record the Cavs had.

25 straight and a new NBA record.

@ Boston - CHECK
vs Denver - CHECK
@ Orlando - CHECK
@ Miami - CHECK
vs Indiana - CHECK
@ Memphis - CHECK
vs Portland - CHECK
@ Dallas - CHECK

Now that the mission has been accomplished, where do the Cavs go from here? With next 8 games at home, can it be further extended? Or will one game slip through the crack? On the 13th they play Washington in Cleveland. Whose streak comes out of that one alive? Can this thing get in the 30s? The 40s?

:lmao Dude, look at the scoreboard. Look at the damn results. I don't think Z was the guy making the difference there. And Byron Scott is a perfectly good coach; he should be able to fill Mike Brown's shoes.

Injuries suck, but they affect every team. It's not an excuse to drop a damn near third of your season consecutively.

I know it's not ALL the absence of James...but that, coupled with the overhaul that prompted, is the main reason this team went from the penthouse to the shitter.
