Cavs come out of a 5 game west coast swing 3-2. The fourth game in the series was against the surging Blazers. Portland had just been off for a few days - we were on the second end of a back to back. The outcome of this game was decided by the schedule makers months ago. Everyone expected the Cavs to lose, and they did. But then something weird happened. The Cavs came back out onto the Blazers court AFTER the loss and held a practice. That doesn't happen, ever, anywhere. Things might be getting interesting.

Who made the decision to bring Brown back...Gilbert or Grant? To me the telling thing is to watch player interviews. Obviously, team morale sucks. I don't like Brown, I also think Waiters is a cancer, & our #1 pick should still be in school. He's at least a year away, then he may be fine.

Wow www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/lawrence-deng-isn-happy-traded-mess-cleveland-article-1.1598983It’s been a true culture shock for Luol Deng since he’s been a Cleveland Cavalier over the past 26 days. Not in a good way, either. Deng has seen how a team mired in losing since LeBron James left town wrongly caters to its young star players, even as they continue to undermine head coach Mike Brown at almost every turn. In Chicago, where Deng broke in and played nine-plus seasons, there is a winning culture where players are expected to act like professionals and understand that they will suffer the consequences if they step out of line. As Deng recently told one close friend, “the stuff going on in practice would never be tolerated by the coaching staff or the front office back in Chicago. It’s a mess." Deng was brought in to help clean it up when he arrived in a deal for Andrew Bynum on Jan. 7. But since then, he’s seen players get thrown out of practice, take off their uniform tops at halftime and threaten not to play, mouth off to Brown and generally act like spoiled brats. Entering Saturday’s game at Houston, the Cavs had lost seven of their last 11 games since the Deng trade. There is no accountability, as Dion Waiters found out when he was kicked out of practice last week but still got his usual minutes against the Knicks. Brown isn’t getting much help from GM Chris Grant, who is expected to be fired at season’s end because of the losing and problems in the locker room. The Cavs were supposed to challenge for a playoff spot, but not to worry. All the losing isn’t keeping them from having a good time. During their trip to New York, several players enjoyed themselves immensely the night before the game against the Knicks, partying into the wee hours with J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, and other NFL players. Their late-night/early morning carousing played a factor when they didn’t even try in their blow-out loss to the Knicks.

Might need to fire grant before the trade deadline. Keep him from attempting an ill advised Hail Mary deal.
