Yeah, people forget the Cavs started out 7-9 when they had Varejao and Mo. Varejao's injury really devastated them, and Mo's just made it all the worse.

Yea. The Cavs were the first team in the history of the NBA to have injuries to 2 players that were starters and that is why they should not have lost 26 straight games. It also should be noted that they still have not won a game in regulation since November 27th. That is 38 games without a win after 4 quarters of play, almost half a season. WOW.

No one said they were the first team to lose two starters to injury - of course they weren't. However, the fact of the matter is this team started out 7-9 with those two guys. Sometimes injuries affect certain teams more strongly depending on the roster's makeup. Take the Celtics and Lakers, for example - Bynum or Garnett can go down, and those teams will still be fairly competitive, but when Dirk went down for the Mavericks this year, the Mavericks were quite lousy. Sure, it's a knock against the depth of the Cavs and Mavs that they suck so much when a player or two goes down, but again, the fact of the matter is the teams win many more games when their unit is healthy, so your post that mocked kobe080's post about the Cavs being a 7-10 seed that resurrected this thread this month isn't entirely justified. Indeed, the Cavs are a 7-10 seed when healthy - Mo and Varejao make that big of a difference. A 7 and 9 record with them indicates a 43.75 winning percentage, which - guess what - is a few percentage points above the Bobcats' current 42.6 winning percentage, and the Bobcats are currently the ninth seed.
