Friday night seen the Cleveland Cavaliers who own the best record in the NBA, fall to a mediocre Charlotte Bobcats team. Entering the game, Charlotte owned a record of 26-26. But despite the .500 record, the Bobcats have been notorious for matching up well and defeating the league's more premier teams, as they've gave the world champion Lakers trouble time and time again for the past three seasons or so. However, the biggest disappointment regarding the Cavaliers 110-93 loss, was the performance of their newest acquisition -- Antawn Jamison. Jamison, who was acquired in a three-team, six-player trade just three days ago made his Cavs debut in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. The former Tar Heel had a disappointing debut to say the least, shooting 0 for 12 from the field. Jamison finished the game with 2-points, both coming from the charity stripes.
Prior to Friday night's game, Jamison was said to be the missing piece to Cleveland's puzzle, as many speculated he would help push the team over the hump and solidify them as the sole favorites to win the East and contend for the NBA Finals. Although things aren't looking too good after one game in his new Cavs uniform, there's no need to push the panic button just yet as the 2-time All-Star will have a chance to redeem himself tomorrow afternoon as LeBron and the Cavs take a visit to Florida to face the defending Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference Finals. The game will serve as one half of ABC's Sunday afternoon basketball, with Boston at Denver for game 2.
