The Cavaliers didn’t play ANY D as the Bucks shot 57.1% from the floor and it did them in last night.  Anthony Parker led the way for the Cavaliers last night with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals on 11 of 14 shooting from the floor.  Antawn Jamison also had a solid game with 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.  Alonzo Gee (12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot), Tristan Thompson (12 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist) and Donald Sloan (12 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists) also pitched in for the Cavs last night.  The Cavaliers are now 17-35 on the year.

The Cavaliers had no chance tonight against the Spurs.  The Cavs were outrebounded 46-27 and they didn’t play ANY D as the Spurs shot 59.3% from the floor!  Antawn Jamison (15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal) and Kyrie Irving (13 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists) led the way for the Cavs tonight.  Lester Hudson looked pretty good as he finished up with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in this game.  Omri Casspi (11 points), Semih Erden (11 points), Tristan Thompson (10 points) and Anthony Parker (10 points) also pitched in for the Cavs in this game.  The Cavaliers are now 17-34 on the year.

The Cavaliers only shot 38.9% from the floor last night and they were outrebounded 47-38, but they still hung in there for three quarters.  The Cavs were outscored 25-15 in the 4th quarter and it did them in.  Antawn Jamison (13 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal) and Alonzo Gee (12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) led the way for the Cavs last night.  Anthony Parker had one of his better games of the year as he finished up with 10 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 2 steals.  Donald Sloan got a rare start (due to Kyrie Irving’s shoulder injury) and he responded with 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in 35 minutes on the floor.  The Cavaliers are now 17-33 on the year.

22-year old shooting guard Manny Harris is likely to see a bump in P.T. due to Daniel Gibson’s season ending injury.  Harris has played in 10 games (0 starts) for the Cavs so far this year and he is averaging 13.6 minutes, 5.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.  He is only shooting 35.2% from the floor so far this year and that is pretty awful.  Harris has now played in 64 games (15 starts) in his first two years with the Cavs and he is averaging 16.7 minutes, 5.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.  Harris needs to step up if he wants to have a future with the Cavaliers.

36-year old shooting guard Anthony Parker has played in 36 games (all starts) for the Cavs so far this year and he is averaging 24.8 minutes, 6.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.  He is only shooting 39.1% from the floor, 33.3% from three point range and 54.3% from the free throw line so far this year….and that’s pathetic for him.  Parker has now played in 189 games (182 starts) in his first three years with the Cavs and he is averaging 27.9 minutes, 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.  Parker is talking about retiring at the end of the season, so maybe the Cavs should get a look at some of their younger players at shooting guard.

20-year old point guard Kyrie Irving is easily going to be the Rookie of the Year in the NBA this season.  He has played in 45 games (all starts) for the Cavs so far this year and he is averaging 31.4 minutes, 18.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game.  21-year old C/PF Tristan Thompson has recently been moved into the starting lineup and he’s looking good.  In Thompson’s first 8 starts this year, he is averaging 32.9 minutes, 12.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game.  He is shooting 50.6% from the floor and 62.5% from the free throw line as a starter.  Thompson has now played in 43 games (8 starts) for the Cavs so far this year and he is averaging 22.5 minutes, 7.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 1.1 blocked shots per game.  He is shooting 43.4% from the floor and 53.5% from the free throw line overall this year, but he has shown improvement since joining the starting lineup.  24-year old point guard Donald Sloan is starting to get P.T. thanks to the season ending injury to Daniel Gibson.  Sloan has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Cavs so far this year and he is averaging 14.0 minutes, 3.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game….but he is only shooting 34.4% from the floor.  Sloan has now played in 16 games (0 starts) overall for the Hawks, Hornets and Cavs this year and he is averaging 10.8 minutes, 2.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

The Cavs never had much of a chance against the Bucks in Cleveland last night.  The Cavs didn’t play any D as the Bucks shot 56.8% from the floor and they were outrebounded 52-41.  Kyrie Irving led the way for the Cavaliers last night with 29 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.  Alonzo Gee also had a rock solid game with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.  Tristan Thompson pitched in with 15 points and 11 rebounds in this game.  The Cavaliers are now 17-32 on the year.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed 27-year old shooting guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.  Hudson played in 11 games (0 starts) for the Wizards last year and he averaged 6.6 minutes, 1.6 points, 0.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.  He has now played in 36 games (0 starts) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 5.7 minutes, 2.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  Hudson is only shooting 35.1% from the floor and 29% from three point range so far in his NBA career.  The Cavaliers are running out of bodies and that is why Hudson has been brought in.
