He was benched last week for the entire fourth quarter at Washington and was agitated at Silas' decision. Silas previously coached Davis at Charlotte and had praised the guard this year for being a more mature player and person. </div>
So no Ricky and no Newble against the Hornets, no problem, I smell a win.... For New Orleans. The losing is making the Cavs frustrated, and it is the type of losing that stings more, just losing the game in the 4th quarter. I have said it time and time again, we need a veteran on this team badly, something must be done, because the Cavs know they could easily have a winning record with better 4th quarter management. Frustrating, but no need to panic, we are you, talented, and have a future. BTW, if Carlos does not play again, NO could win this game very easily.

I know they have the talent and they hang in games, they just need that one player to put them over the hump.
It's not about that one player, the Cavs have it all, just are too young, execute poorly when it matters the most and miss their freethrows. Even shorthanded we played the Hornets right there till the end. It is just a matter of maturing as a team and not being so hesitant is tight situations.
