Will These Cavs Sink as Low as Old Cavs?

They were the Edsels of the NBA and the Keystone Kops on wood. But most of all, they were known as the Cadavers.



These Cadavers, though, finally might be buried.



Trouble is, it's the same team with the shovel.



The Cleveland Cavaliers hold the NBA record for consecutive losses at 24, having dropped their last 19 in 1981-82 and their first five in 1982-83. Now, the LeBron-less gang has lost 18 straight heading into Friday's home game against Denver.



One more loss and Cleveland will tie its single-season record of 19 defeats in a row. Five more and the Cavaliers will equal the NBA single-season mark of 23 consecutive losses set by Vancouver in 1995-96 and the Nuggets in 1997-98. And it's six more to tie and seven more to break the granddaddy of all futility streaks.



"I don't want anybody to go through that misery,'' said Geoff Huston, a guard on Cleveland's record-setting team. "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.''
