“Slip slidin’ away… Slip slidin’ away… You know the nearer your destination… The more you’re slip slidin’ away…” — Paul Simon
After going 0-for-LA, the Cavaliers have dropped to 6-6 since shaking up their roster at the trade deadline… which sounds better than it’s been lately with two of those wins coming just before the All Star Break when they surprised the Celtics and Thunder. Since then, it’s been a series of untimely injuries coupled with some awful defense, cold shooting and general lack of preparation on either end of the court (looking at you Ty Lue).
Instead of climbing up out of the pack to challenge the Celtics and Raptors for one of the top seeds in the East, the Cavs have instead found themselves slip slidin’ away down the standings.
