How many teams will have a worse 2nd half record than the Cavs?

• SportsAndLady

  

  Does anyone else feel like the cavs can put together a .500 record the rest of the way (not finish the season with a .500 record, but go something like 22-22 the rest of the way)? I just feel with the Lebron pressure off them, and the fact that they are already out of any contention for the playoffs they can get some wins and go .500 the rest of the way.
  
  I'm gonna say there will be 8 teams with a worse 2nd half record than the Cavs.

  They might lose less than Minn, Sacramento and either Toronto/Washington.

  No.

  I say maybe 2 or 3 teams.
• Raw Dawgin' it

  

  they want the first pick in the draft, they'll do their best to get it
• Rotinaj

  

  No chance they go .500 the rest of the way. At best there will be 3 worse teams. I'm guessing only 1 will have a worse 2nd half record though.

  I think they will win maybe 6 games the rest of the way....so I will say zero

  I will go out on a limb, and say one.

  Minnesota and Sacramento could be worse? Id guess neither will be though.

  Actually after seeing the bit of roster shakeup for minnesota and tyreke evans out for 3 weeks for the kings..ill guess/hope we finish better than those two.

  I think they could be better in the second half than a couple teams. Even though, in the first half, they had an historic losing streak, they still weren't all that much worse than the other really bad teams in the league. For them to be .500 for the rest of the year would be a big stretch I think. And detrimental to the team in the long term. They won't be good again until they've heavily upgraded their roster and the earlier they're picking in the draft, the quicker that will start happening.

  Cavs lose tonight it looks. Played pretty well though. Just seems that nothing goes there way. 2 buzzer beater threes at the half and end of 3rd for the rockets, some white dude i've never heard of, chase budinger has a career game and puts up 27 points in 28 minutes. Ramon Sessions turned it over way too much. Manny Harris and Samardo Samuels played pretty well.

  I was pretty impressed with Samuels.
  
  Budinger killed him, the guy is an average NBA player at best and Moon and the Cavs made him look like an all-star

  There are only 26 games after the break, so 22-22 isn't an option.
  
  I'll say 2 or 3 teams are worse after the break but the Cavs still finish with the worst record.

  I am gonna assume S&L was just giving an example of .500 ball.
