Cleveland Cavaliers head coach John Beilein and his rebuilding team just suffered another embarrassing loss.
On Tuesday, the Cavs lost to the Detroit Pistons in a 127-94 blowout.
Nevertheless, Beilein continues to be determined to turn the Cavs fortunes around despite their fourth consecutive defeat, and 10th in their last 11 games.
The series of losses has dumbfounded the rookie NBA head coach, but he is not waving the white flag just yet.
I dont think you can (explain it), Beilein said. I didnt even want to explain it to the team. Our offense was not good, our defense was equally bad. Im disappointed, but not going to flinch. Well learn from it. Tomorrow well have a video session on this, well have a good strength-building session and well find ways to grow even from that very humbling loss to Detroit.
Beilein expects to find positives even from an abysmal performance from his team. He seems quite confident that the Cavs will learn from this experience.
Well find things, Beilein said. Its easy. Even in a game like this, well find things. You have to. You have to have some positive things, he said. If you just show them what theyre doing wrong, theyll keep doing it wrong. Youve got to show them what theyre doing right so theyll get better.
Being a successful college coach doesnt necessarily translate to success in the pros, but Beilein trusts that the Cavs will rack up some wins eventually.
I cant tell you when its going to happen, Beilein explained. All I know is Im not flinching. We will just keep working really hard at growing the team with every practice, with every film session, with every weight training session. Were not getting Cs, were going to get As every time we do that, thats one thing we can really control.
The players will have to reward Beileins confidence in them very quickly as the 2019-20 season is slowly slipping away. Their 5-15 record is third-worst in the Eastern Conference, with only the Atlanta Hawks (5-16) and New York Knicks (4-17) performing worse than they have so far.
The Cavs are scheduled to play the Orlando Magic on Friday. Fans will see soon enough if Beileins positivity will rub off on his players.
