Recently interviewed Bob Finnan, Cleveland Cavs beat writer for The News-Herald. Here's what he had to say about the current state of the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers.
1. With the loss of Lebron, who has stepped up and taken on more of a leadership role?
-- Well, that's one of their problems. No one. Antawn Jamison a bit, but this team is so young, it needs leadership.
2. Obviously a 14 game losing streak isn't good for any team's morale. How has this team been holding up?
-- Well, it's beyond embarrassing. they are not a good team, but not bad enough to lose 16 in a row and 26 of the last 27.
3. Give me a comparison of how the team has responded to Byron Scott as opposed to Mike Brown.
-- I don't think they're really listening to byron. he came in talking about defense, but they make the same mistakes over and over again. people should appreciate what mike brown did instead of just say, 'it was because of lebron.'
4. Can we expect a rebuilding phase for the next few years out of Cleveland or does general manager Chris Grant and company have something up their sleeve that will bring the Cavs back to the postseason sooner than we think?
-- They are rebuilding, even though they refuse to say that word. this process usually takes several years and more than one draft. this isn't a quick fix type of rebuild.
5. How have the fans been minus Lebron and amidst this losing streak?
-- They're starting to stay away, even though the cavs have announced a sell out in every game. next year is the key when there will be nights of 14,000.
6. What can the Bulls expect to see when the team comes to the United Center tomorrow?
-- Well, you already saw it! for some reason, they play the bulls tough. there are certain teams you match up well against, and I guess it's the Bulls for the Cavs.
