It might be shocking for some but the Cavs are in their 2nd 2-game losing streak of the season.What makes it more of a jaw dropper is the fact that the back to back losses are from the Western Conference. The 13-game winning streak is over.
The good part about the situation is that the Cavs are back home to face the injury ripped Blazers.
The last couple of times that Portland came to town LeBron finished with a triple-double. It's likely to happen again, as the Cavs try to avoid a rare 3-game winning streak.
The losing streak started Tuesday in a 111-109 overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzles.
21-turnovers ate Cleveland alive Vs. the Grizzlies, and against Houston it was the same story. They created 20-turnovers. When Cleveland gives the ball away that many times they have yet to win a game.
LeBron had 5-turnovers for his 3rd straight game. He is averaging almost 4 a game which is just horrible (for him especially).
Despite his turnover build up, he is averaging a career high 8.2-assists per game. The Cavaliers are 9-2 when LeBron has at least 9-assist. Even better, when LeBron attempts 17-shots, or fewer the Cavs are 7-1.
Cleveland hasn't lost 3-straight since March 2008.
Portland has been torn up by injuries. They recently lost their inside piece Greg Oden for the entire season. Even the coach of the team is out with an injury.
Anderson Varejao will have his hands full with La'Marcus Aldridge. That load just might be too much for Hickson to handle.
