LeBron James, who will miss his fifth straight game Saturday night with a sprained finger, has a message for the Cavaliers' opponents.

James said, "Teams better get their wins now."

The Cavaliers have lost five straight in embarrassing fashion without their superstar -- beaten by an average margin of nearly 19 points.

James didn't practice today and was declared out for tomorrow's game at Charlotte. He did speak to reporters for the first time since he sprained his left index finger November 28 at Detroit when Nazr Mohammed slapped at the ball as James attempted to shoot.
