Cavs blog by Bob Finnan

Cavaliers guard Delonte West’s shooting has abandoned him in the last four games. He’s shooting 32 percent from the field in that span (17 of 53), 19 percent from the 3-point line (4 of 21).

He finished with 11 points and five assists in the 97-92 loss to Atlanta on Saturday, but he made just 5 of 19 attempts from the floor. He did have three steals and two rebounds.

On the bright side, he is averaging 10.5 points and 4.5 assists in those four games.

Guard/forward Wally Szczerbiak is shooting 13 percent from the field since Ilgauskas has gone out (2 of 15). It's even worse from the 3-point line, as he's missed all six of his attempts.
