This sucks. Larry Hughes had to have surgery performed again on his injured hand. As a result, he will miss the rest of the regular season.

Hughes, the team’s second-leading scorer, was supposed to miss six to eight weeks after having surgery Jan. 6. However, doctors concluded last week that the finger hadn’t healed as quickly as the team had hoped. The team said he will now miss an additional eight to 10 weeks.

“If all goes well for him and all goes well for our team … he could possibly be back and participate in the postseason,” Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said.

The Cavs should still make the playoffs, but this team will never gel if guys like Hughes are gone for so long. It will be tough for him to contribute in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see if the Cavs make a trade.

This team is really strange. They dominate at home when facing good teams, yet they blow it against the weak teams. Basically, they have talent, but they still need to put it all together. Tonight Lebron dominated agaist the Spurs, scoring 44 points in a 101-87 victory.

Cleveland is 14-2 at home against teams over .500, and 5-5 against teams under .500. The win over the Spurs came two days after a lackluster home loss to Golden State.

“We have to grow up,” James said. “We can’t keep beating Phoenix, Detroit and San Antonio and then lose to sub-par teams.”

That pretty much sums it up.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially getting tired. After losing a game that they could have easily won in Washington, the Cavs allowed a depleted Golden State Warriors team to come into the Q and beat them. Lebron James led the Cavs with 33 and they had 5 guys in double figures. Once again, it was Cleveland’s inability to stop its opponent defensively down the stretch that cost them the victory. Cleveland will need to play with more confidence and finesse if they want that critical fourth playoff spot.

On a night when Cleveland fans were bitter after watching a Super Bowl that the hated Steelers had won(were given), the Cavaliers gave us something to cheer about. LeBron James and the Cavs had just blown a 10 point lead and the Milwaukee Bucks had the ball with a chance to win the game. Michael Redd, a once loved Ohio guy had the ball and was driving for the winning score.
Surprise, Anderson Varejao stepped in front of Redd and took the charge. Cleveland then perfectly executed an inbound play to Donyell Marshall for the dunk and yes, football is over and basketball has begun. The timing for this game was perfect and the results were surprisingly positive. Cleveland, get on your feet and support this team.
We are forming a successful organization here and they deserve the support.
