Cavs blog by Bob Finnan

No matter who the Cavaliers seem to play, fans expect a blowout.

The Sacramento Kings waltzed into Cleveland on Friday missing four players, including starters Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin and Ron Artest.

So, naturally, the fans expected the Cavs to roll over them. Not so fast there guys. As LeBron James described, these are still NBA players the Kings are putting out on the floor. Lesser known players, yes, but still capable players.

Guard John Salmons is getting his chance to shine in those players' absences, and he is starting to shine.

Point guard Beno Udrih is also playing well. Since we're on the subject, why didn't the Cavs take a look at him when Minnesota waived him? He's a pure point guard who can score and run the offense. It looks like a no-brainer to me.
