The Cavs don't Care

How do you lose by 29 points to a team that has lost 18 out of its last 20 games? The answer is that you don't give a damn, which is exactly how the Cadavers played last night. It's pretty obvious that the Cavs have looked at the standings, and realize that they can limp into the playoffs by hovering around the .500 mark the rest of the way.

I guess they think that a couple of home playoff games and a quick exit will be enough to satisfy their fans, as long as the WiFi connection at The Q remains strong. You know what? Sports fans in this town have such low expectations for our franchises that they're probably right.

I became even more depressed about this team while listening to the Cavs post-game show on WTAM. In the course of discussing the fact that the Cadavers have been unable to find and keep a decent point guard since Mark Price left, a caller reminded everyone that they could have taken Jameer Nelson in the 2004 draft, but instead opted for Luke Jackson. Even after being fired, Jim Paxson is the gift that keeps on giving, isn't he?
