I was very excited to see the Cavaliers' starting lineup yesterday before the opening tip. DJ would indeed be making his way off the bench in a starting role in the season finale vs. the Pistons. This was his chance to prove to Mike Brown that he belongs in the rotation and would be ready to answer the bell in the playoffs. Well someone forgot to mention to Damon that he needed to perform. In 37 minutes of action, DJ was an ice cold 1-12 from the field with just two assists and one rebound for a grand total of four points.
Now I'd like to attribute this to the cobwebs built up over the previous 7-game stint on the bench. And maybe DJ was pressing a little too hard out there after all that time off. Or maybe this is karma's one final slap-in-the-face for the Hawk incident. Either way, his prospects aren't looking good for redemption. This may be his final act as a Cavalier and I for one am truly disappointed.
LeBron didn't seem to mind the loss, but DJ sure should
