Yep, that's a 39-point loss to lowly Detroit. It really could have been worse, the Pistons led by 50 at one point. Also, I didn't watch the entire game, I couldn't. Manny Harris was by far the Cavs best player tonight, I thought so watching the game, but then thought for sure I was just going insane. For the record, I actually like Manny Harris for some reason. Anyways Antawn Jamison didn't make a shot in his ten tries and Tristan Thompson led the Cavs in attempts. Clearly something is missing (KYRIE!) from this team.
Plus/minus is a fun stat, but frankly I think it's the most ridiculous stat that's kept. For those that don't know, the plus/minus is a teams points scored vs. points allowed while a specific player is on the floor. For example I'll use Luke Walton, just because I can. If Cleveland scored 17 while he was on the floor, but Detroit scored 23, his plus/minus would be -6.
I'll share this for the amusement factor if nothing else, here are the plus/minuses for every Cavs player that played tonight:
Starting Five:
Antawn Jamison -47
Omri Casspi -38
Tristan Thompson -41
Anthony Parker -41
Donald Sloan -46
Reserves:
Luke Walton +7
Lester Hudson +7
Manny Harris +2
Samardo Samuels +2
It's chuckle-worthy at least. Thompson and Parker didn't have bad games actually and the only reserve that had a good game was Harris. After this game, I'll go ahead and make my bold prediction that the Cavs don't win another game, certainly not if they play like this again.
