Three losses in a row is NOT how the Cavaliers wanted to follow up their win over the Celtics opening night. That said, we knew there would be growing pains. Starting tonight, however, the Cavaliers need to start beating some teams that are, at the very least, at the same skill level as themselves. The Sixers, losers of 4-of-5 to start the season would qualify.
Antawn Jamison is questionable tonight with a sore knee, but if he can go the Cavaliers will be at full strength for the first time this season.
