Tough loss. The Cavs had chances to win at the end, but they couldn’t handle Kobe Bryant and LeBron couldn’t answer at the end.

Donyell Marshall explains the Cavs offense:

”We’re a drive-and-kick team. If LeBron kicks it out and you have an open 3, what are you supposed to do? That’s the situation. We took a lot. If you look at the 28 3s we took, only three or four of them were bad (shots)”

Damon Jones in particular isn’t making shots, and the loss of Larry Hughes gives them fewer option on the offensive end. Time for the head coach to earn his salary and make some adjustments.

News Flash – Damon Jones can’t buy a bucket and he’s actually acknowledging it. It must be tough on poor Damon; he has one hell of an ego.

Meanwhile, the Cavs are losing to teams like the Knicks. The loss of Larry Hughes is starting to be a real problem. Jones needs to step it up.

It’s getting harder to justify keeping Damon Jones on this team, let alone starting, during a period of two months without Larry Hughes. The guy made one shot last night, of the 6 he took, all from three point land, 3 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 free throw attempts. I think I saw him standing inside the three point line once last night, and saw him moving his feet on offense even less. The good news is that Mike Brown looks like he gave some of Jones’ minutes to Mike Wilks, who got 26 minutes last night.

Trade deadline is Feb. 23. Ship ‘im out.
