Cavaliers to vent all their frustrations on Bobcats Sunday

Because the last time these guys were on the floor, they got beat by a team that has no business whatsoever beating them.

101-99 was the final score when the Cleveland Cavaliers visited the Washington Wizards last Thursday. With only a few more games left into the 2007-08 NBA basketball season, the Cavs can't afford to lose winnable games like that if they want to solidify their spot in the East for the playoffs.

Still playing without All-Star Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards came up a much needed win for the returning Caron Butler, then celebrating his 28th birthday and who was coming off a 16-game absence because of an injury.

The returning Caron Butler scored 19 points to lead the Washington Wizards to a 101-99 upset of King James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Oh yeah, it was upsetting for the Cavs alright, specially for LeBron James, marking his appearance on the cover of the April issue of Vogue magazine with a rather subpar game.

LeBron James did score a game-high 25 to lead the Cleveland attack. But after shooting 9-22 from the field, facing the Wizards defense last Thursday sure was a nightmare, to say the least.

So how did he explained his rather pathetic night?

''I missed shots. I'm human. I can miss shots,'' LeBron James said. ''We still had a chance to win. That's all I can ask of my team and my teammates. We turned the ball over once again. I turned the ball over too many times.''

The Cleveland Cavaliers have now lost back-to-back games, losing five of their last ten. Luckily for them, they're in the Eastern Conference where winning doesn't matter as long as you don't lose more than majority of the teams in the ''weaker'' half of the league.

On Sunday, the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Charlotte Bobcats, a team going nowhere this year. The Cavs shouldn't have any problems whatsoever beating these guys down.
