Cavaliers (4-16) vs. Pistons (6-15) - Game 21

Found December 08, 2012 on Fox Sports Ohio:
PLAYERS: Greg Monroe,  Jason Maxiell,  Tayshaun Prince,  Kyle Singler,  Brandon Knight,  Lawrence Frank,  Anderson Varejao,  Tristan Thompson,  Alonzo Gee,  Daniel Gibson,  Jeremy Pargo,  Byron Scott,  Dion Waiters
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  Cleveland Cavaliers
VENUE Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland TIP-OFF 7:30 p.m. EST TELEVISION FOX Sports Ohio HD (Cavaliers Live pre-game show begins at 7 p.m.) RADIO Cleveland - WTAM-1100 AM (broadcast begins at 7 p.m.) PROJECTED STARTERS Pistons C Greg Monroe; PF Jason Maxiell; SF Tayshaun Prince; SG Kyle Singler; PG Brandon Knight. Coach: Lawrence Frank. Cavs C Anderson Varejao; PF Tristan Thompson; SF Alonzo Gee; SG Daniel Gibson; PG Jeremy Pargo. Coach: Byron Scott. NOTABLE This is the teams second meeting in six days. The Pistons have won the last three by an average of 20.5 ppg. In other words, for a team thats not any good, the Pistons sure have owned a decided advantage lately. Cavs G Dion Waiters (ankle) remains doubtful. Anderson Varejao scored a season-low four points in a loss Friday at Minnesota, ending his streak of consecutive double-doubles at 10. Varejao also grabbed 14 rebounds. Before that, he collected at least 15 in 10 straight games. The Cavs are the only Central Division team to have yet to win a game within the division (0-4). The Pistons lead the all-time series, 113-78. They are coming off a home loss Friday vs. Chicago. Frank spent 3 seasons as an assistant under Scott in New Jersey.

In last week’s Cavaliers Film Room, we broke down three end-game scenarios where the Cavaliers failed to execute in close losses. This week, we’ll focus on the team’s rookie shooting guard, Dion Waiters.

Cavs' plan of attack painful at moment

CLEVELAND -- Five straight. Nine of 10. Fifteen of 17. If there's one constant this season, it's that the Cavaliers are finding ways not to win. They've done it while trailing for an entire game. They've done it while leading late in the fourth quarter. They've done it by keeping things close and by getting blown out (although, in their defense, not much of the...

Varejao trade destinations…or lack there of

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  December 08, 2012
Anderson Varejao was everything I loved about basketball. He was hustle, he was emotion, he was heart. He was 36 minutes of controlled chaos, spinning a fury around opposing frontcourts. But not anymore. He’s now much, much more than that. The Wild Thing is no longer a gimmicky role player, he’s the best center in the Eastern Conference and one of the best players in...
