CHARLOTTE BOBCATS (21-61) 105, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (24-58) 98
Time Warner Cable Arena
Wednesday
Radio/TV: WTAM (1100 AM)/Fox Sports Ohio

WHAT HAPPENED: This is likely Coach Byron Scott's final game with the Cavs.

Various media outlets are reporting that he could be fired at a press conference on Thursday morning. I have heard whispers, but I have not confirmed that, as of yet.

It didn't help Scott's cause that his team lost to the lowly Bobcats. The Cavs had a six-game winning streak snapped to the Bobcats.

The Cavs lost the last six games of the season, as well as 16 of the last 18.

This dreadful season is over. The players will clean out their lockers at 11:45 a.m. Thursday at Cleveland Clinic Courts. Then the players disperse to parts unknown.

Many of them won't be back. Good riddance to that. They need to upgrade this roster in a big way.

If by some chance Scott remains, some changes will need to be made on the coaching staff.

The Cavs fell behind the Bobcats by 24 points on Wednesday. It was uphill from there. They came back and took a one-point lead in the fourth after a layup by Dion Waiters. But they couldn't enough stops.

The Bobcats shot 50.7 perccent from the field and 40 percent from the 3-point line. Guard Kemba Walker scored 24 points on the night.

Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving also recorded 24 points and dished out a game-high 10 assists. Waiters added 16 off the bench - a role that could be his forte when it's all said and done.

The best thing that came out of the night was the fact the Lakers made the playoffs in the Western Conference. Heading into the draft lottery, the Cavs will have the third pick, as well as the Lakers' selection (as low as No. 20) and two very high second-round picks.

LAST GAME: The Cavs lost to Miami on Monday, 96-95.

UP NEXT: The NBA draft lottery on May 21.

MIAMI HEAT (65-16) 96, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (24-57) 95
Quicken Loans Arena
Monday
Radio/TV: WTAM (1100 AM)/Fox Sports Ohio

WHAT HAPPENED: Let's forget that the Heat were playing without their top six players. No LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh.

One would think the Cavs could have rolled over this bunch. But that was anything but the case. The Heat opened up an 11-point point lead on the Cavs. But those scrappy Cavs came back and had a chance to win the game.

The ball was in Kyrie Irving's hands. He was lined up opposite Heat guard Norris Cole.

Cole has always been a great defender. He was a former Defensive Player of the Year in the Horizon League. He stripped Irving of the ball - even though he was given a blocked shot on the official stat sheet.

So, the Cavs dropped their fifth game in a row to the defensive NBA champion Heat.

That team is going to win another title this year.

This could be the last time fans at The Q see Scott coaching the team. He's on the hot seat and might not be asked to come back next year.

If that's the case, I'll miss him. He's one of the nicest guys I've met.

LAST GAME: The Cavs lost at Philadelphia on Sunday, 91-77.

UP NEXT: The Cavs travel to Charlotte at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Time Warner Cable Arena.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS (33-47) 91, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (24-56) 77
Wells Fargo Center
Sunday
Radio/TV: WTAM (1100 AM)/Fox Sports Ohio

WHAT HAPPENED: There are two games remaining in the Cavs' season, and possibly in Coach Byron Scott's career in Cleveland. The Cavs host Miami on Monday in the final home game, and travel to Charlotte on Wednesday in the season finale.

The players might clean out their lockers on Thursday and go on their merry way.

I think it has become quite apparent what will happen when the season ends. One can make excuses for Scott, but if the players have quit, that probably seals his fate. Imagine what will happen if they play with so little emotion against the Heat.

The Cavs just didn't show up in Philadelphia on Sunday. Their bodies were there. Their minds were not. We know there are only two games remaining, but the players can at least pretend like they care. This going through the motion stuff is for the birds.

The Sixers jumped out to a 19-3 lead and never looked back.

The Cavs managed just 77 points - their second-lowest total of the season. If it wasn't for their 26-point fourth quarter, they would have set a season low in scoring. They also shot just 36.5 percent from the field.

In my opinion, the Cavs had three players that competed on the night. Power forward Tristan Thompson recorded his 30th double-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks. Power forward Kevin Jones recorded his first NBA double-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and one block.

I thought Omri Casspi came in the game and played hard with nine points and five rebounds.

The rest of the bunch? Forget it. They were pitiful.

That starts with All-Star Kyrie Irving. He intentionally fouled a Sixers player to stop a fastbreak for his fifth personal foul with 10:31 left in the third quarter. We didn't see him again, which was deserved. He ended with four points on 1 of 6 from the field.

Scott didn't play any of his starters in the fourth quarter. He said in post-game he'd rather get some players in there who wanted to play hard.

The Sixers are the lowest-scoring team in the league at 92.9 points per game. They managed only 91 on Sunday, yet won the game in blowout fashion.

The Sixers won the season series, 3-1, vs. the Cavs. They've also won eight of the last nine meetings with Cleveland. The Cavs only win in that span was last Nov. 12.

Cavs center Tyler Zeller has recorded goose eggs in each of his last two games. He was 0 of 6 from the field on Sunday with two rebounds. He's melting down before our eyes.

The Cavs played without power forward Luke Walton (sprained ankle), swingman C.J. Miles (concussion) and point guard Shaun Livingston (back spasms).

LAST GAME: The Cavs lost to New York on Friday, 101-91.

UP NEXT: The Cavs host Miami at 7 p.m. Monday at Quicken Loans Arena.

NEW YORK KNICKS (52-27) 101, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (24-55) 91
Quicken Loans Arena
Friday
Radio/TV: WTAM (1100 AM)/Fox Sports Ohio

WHAT HAPPENED: Shouldn't the Cavs' game plan have been top heavy in attacking the Knicks' depleted frontcourt? I'm sure the Cavs coaches watched New York's overtime loss to Chicago on Thursday. In that game, the Knicks were missing Tyson Chandler, Amar'e Stoudemire, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Rasheed Wallace and the since-waived Kurt Thomas.

Shouldn't the Cavs have attacked the basket with a vengeance? Shouldn't rookie center Tyler Zeller gotten more attempts around the basket? He took three shots on the night, two from the perimeter, and the other a wide-open layup.

He is 7-foot, isn't he? Sometimes I have to check the roster to make sure. He sure doesn't play like one. He finished with zero points and four rebounds. Just brutal.

His sidekick, power forward Tristan Thompson, did some damage inside. He recorded his 29th double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. At least he has a presence in the post, unlike Zeller.

I'm not trying to pick on Zeller. I actually like talking to him. He just leaves a lot to be desired in my book.

Oh, and 6-10 Marreese Speights? He had zero points and three rebounds. So, the Cavs' two biggest players combined for zero points and seven rebounds on a night when the Knicks had almost none of their bigs. That's an embarrassment in my book.


Heck, Knicks guard Iman Shumpert totally outplayed both of them together with five points, 11 rebounds and a block. 

LAST GAME: The Cavs lost to Detroit on Wednesday, 111-104.

UP NEXT: The Cavs travel to Philadelphia at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Wachovia Center.

DETROIT PISTONS (27-52) 111, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (24-54) 104
Quicken Loans Arena
Wednesday
Radio/TV: WMMS (100.7 FM)/Fox Sports Ohio

WHAT HAPPENED: Too bad the Cavs didn't get rained out.

Coach Byron Scott used some coaching strategy on Wednesday, using the Hack-a-Drummond. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Drummond, a 34-percent foul shooter, made 8 of 14 free throws in the fourth quarter to foil their plan.

Of course, the play that everyone will remember from tonight was Tristan Thompson's critical error with 17.9 seconds when he fouled Drummond off the ball. Rules state that if a team fouls a player off the ball with under 2 minutes left, the opposing team gets two free throws and the ball out of bounds.

That led to a free throw by Rodney Stuckey. Then, after they took it out of bounds, Jonas Jerebko hit another freebie. That left the score, 107-103, and for all intents and purposes, it was all over.

Thompson didn't admit that he didn't know the rules (to be honest, I didn't). He said he wanted to foul Drummond after he got the rebound, but he was too late.

Thompson might have cost them the game. I'll give them a mulligan on that one. This kid cares about winning. He stood up to the media afterward. Some guys would have hid in the trainer's room. 

LAST GAME: The Cavs lost at Indiana on Tuesday, 99-94.

UP NEXT: The Cavs host New York at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Quicken Loans Arena.
