Cavs paying for missing free points

[645]

As the Cavaliers head into the second half of the season tonight, they are on pace to win 48 games.

How do you feel about a 48-34 record for this team?

More important, what do the players think?

Certainly, the front office and coaches expect more. The team won 50 games a year ago. It's not unreasonable to except, at least, that production this season, especially with the Cavs in the underachieving Eastern Conference.

One of the Cavs' primary problems this season is an inability to sink a free throw. They rank last at the charity stripe with an anemic 68.4 percent ``success'' rate. It's something that they worked on in practice Tuesday, taking extra free throws. The ranking isn't something that sits well with Brown. James said he's not surprised by the ranking, and he's not happy about it, either.
