Does Portland have enough bearings to compete against Cleveland?
Can't think of any team thats fallen so far in less than 2 seasons. Must really suck to be a Cleveland sports fan. Cavs, Browns, and Indians, ouch!![]()

Chicago in 98 vs 99 was far worse.
In a way I'm rooting for the Cavs by actively rooting against them. I want to see them make history.
It's not quite time to raise the Mission Accomplished banner yet. 24 down, but that only puts them in a tie (with themselves) for worst losing streak of all-time. It is now time for the Dallas Mavericks to rise to the occasion and wipe away the stench of 06 with an historic win Monday night.
@ Boston - CHECK
vs Denver - CHECK
@ Orlando - CHECK
@ Miami - CHECK
vs Indiana - CHECK
@ Memphis - CHECK
vs Portland - CHECK
@ Dallas - ???
Let's go Mavs!

Post-LeBron Cavs sink to new depths
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.

Those cold winters in Cleveland must be extra depressing this year.
now they know what LeBron meant when he said
"I spoil you too much"
you just know this is the type of game the Mavs will lose.
So what's the Vegas odds against the Cavs threepeat?
Beat em w/out Dirk in Cleveland, have to think we take care of biz.
Might be closer than we would like, we'll see
Come on Dallas. Halfway there and up 10. Nail Cleveland's ass to the mother ing tree of woe.
When is Dan Gilbert going to suit up and deliver that ring?
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.
tie game in 4th
LMAO mavs
Jesus Mavs... you're playing the CAVS! You'd think they'd be playing their asses off so they didn't have to be "that team."
I can't believe how horrible the Cavs are. Playing one on one basketball. Think they are tanking?
Looks like Dallas finally put its foot on the gas.
