Seen this mid-season funk before, only difference this year is the division competition is tougher.

But in LeBron I trust. They've looked turrible recently, have had no consistent lineups, guys hurt, guys coming back. I'm semi-optimistic they're gonna right the ship -- they at least were way more competitive the last two games -- and expect Lue, LBJ, etc., to let Gilbert and the gm, Koby Altman, know they've got to go get help. JR's time may be up, I hope they keep Thompson. Shump can go any time, too. I read they may be going after Derrick Favors.

An issue for Gilbert and Altman is, they have no clue if LeBron's staying after this season, hence, their hesitancy to deal the Nets' lottery pick, their biggest asset. I don't think LeBron knows what he's gonna do next season, either, although I'm sure he has the scenarios all thought out. And I don't blame him for not tipping his hand: why should he?

I think if the Cavs end the season well and get another good piece or two, LBJ plays out his career in Ohio.

To answer your question, I think the Cavs start making their comeback tonight against a "patsy," Orlando, and again Saturday against OKC.

If not, c'est la vie. It's only a game.
