Here’s one thing I don’t like about this new non-Hughes lineup. Damon BLEEPING Jones being in the starting lineup, hoisting 7 three pointers, missing 6 of them, and those are his only shots in 33 minutes. That’s bad. Real bad. It’s an argument that the non-Hughes Cavs need to NOT START Damon Jones.

Is anyone else not really seeing that much difference between the Cavs team in the last two games, and the Cavs team with Larry Hughes? They’ve won one, lost one, the defense seems a bit better, even.
Ok, I like the fact that the Cavs are capable of a strong 4th quarter run at a big deficit, regularly, but I’m hoping they get over the hump regularly, too. Just like the NJ game, last night against Houston, the Cavs cut a big 4th qtr deficit down to almost nothing…but came up short.
Larry Hughes has been playing with the hand injury since pre-season.
Hughes, who signed a five-year, $60 million free agent deal with the Cavs last summer, actually injured the finger in a preseason game at Milwaukee.
Was it just me, or were there times when Hughes just didn’t look as advertised? Yeah, he’s a big piece, his absence leaves a big hole, but there were some games where he was kind of AWOL, and this probably explains it. Which might mean that when he gets back into the lineup, the Cavs will be even better.
Not often the PD’s editorial page comments on the Browns, but I think this is accurate.
So far, Cleveland fans have been patient and forgiving. But thousands of empty seats at late-season home games this year suggest that even their bountiful good will – planted by Paul Brown and Graham and Motley, sustained by Jim Brown and Kelley and Sipe and Kosar, immune even to the machinations of Art Modell – may have its limits.
Cleveland sticks with the Browns because there simply is no place like Cleveland when the Browns are hot. People go insane. A lot of folks may not remember that anymore, but forget the Indians, forget the Cavs, when the Browns are hot, Cleveland loses its mind. That’s why we stick with this team through the patheticness. We remember that, and will put up with just about anything to get it back. Just about.
